  • Open Letter to His Excellency, Dr Julius Maada Bio President of the Republic of Sierra Leone the Finalization of the Investigati
    Open Letter to His Excellency, Dr Julius Maada Bio President of the Republic of Sierra Leone March 30th, 2020 The finalization of the Investigation Report on the Malen land dispute is a constructive step towards a resolution of the conflict We, an international coalition of civil society organizations, welcome the finalization of the Investigation Report which concludes the investigative phase of the conflict resolution process concerning the land conflict between the multinational palm oil company SOCFIN and communities in the Malen Chiefdom of Sierra Leone. As organizations that have closely followed this case over the years, in close communication with the affected communities and our Sierra Leone civil society organisation partners, we view the completion of this report as an important step towards finding a resolution to the long-standing land dispute. Although tensions within SOCFIN's plantations have increased in recent months and the criminalization of community representatives and civil society organisation partners has intensified, the report seems to provide a solid enough basis upon which to continue the dialogue (mediation) process, as proposed by the Vice-President of Sierra Leone in 2019. We are encouraged to see that the main findings of the Technical Committee highlight several of the allegations voiced by the affected communities since 2011. They confirm, among others, that the land lease agreements are unlawful; that payments of lease rent and other land charges were or inadequate or paid to the wrong persons; that the parcels of land were not properly surveyed and demarcated; that buffer zones between communities and SOCFIN plantations have not been respected and that this has negatively impinged upon the communities' capacity to live in dignity; that the Paramount Chief's conduct was inappropriate and potentially illegal; that SOCFIN's development projects in the communities were inadequate; and that there are serious pollution concerns linked to the company's activities.

  • How Do Exchange Rates Respond to Political Rhetoric by Populist Leaders?
    KOÇ UNIVERSITY-TÜSİAD ECONOMIC RESEARCH FORUM WORKING PAPER SERIES HOW DO EXCHANGE RATES RESPOND TO POLITICAL RHETORIC BY POPULIST LEADERS? Cem Çakmaklı Selva Demiralp Gökhan Şahin Güneş Working Paper No: 2112 August 2021 This Working Paper is issued under the supervision of the ERF Directorate. Any opinions expressed here are those of the author(s) and not those of the Koç University-TÜSİAD Economic Research Forum. It is circulated for discussion and comment purposes and has not been subject to review by referees. KOÇ UNIVERSITY-TÜSİAD ECONOMIC RESEARCH FORUM Rumelifeneri Yolu 34450 Sarıyer/Istanbul How do exchange rates respond to political rhetoric by populist leaders? August 3, 2021 Abstract With the global rise in authoritarianism, there has been an increase in political commentaries by the populist leaders that have criticized their central banks in favor of lower interest rates. We analyze the effects of these political pressures on exchange rates. We provide strong empirical evidence where political commentaries affect both the level and the volatility of exchange rate returns. The intensity of political pressures as well as institutional strength play a key role in determining the size of the impact.
