Macroeconomic Trends and Policy Implications: Evidence from Bhutan
and health Macroeconomic Trends and Policy Implications: Evidence from Bhutan Mashrur Khan and Matthew Robson * 1. Introduction Bhutan has performed remarkably well with an average growth rate of 7.72 percent from 2004-2014. This growth is heavily fuelled by its strong hydropower sector, particularly the exports of hydropower, which have grown at an average rate of 18.1 percent over the same period. In recent years, hydropower capacity has been increased substantially, leading to higher exports and electricity generation in the country. In addition, the tourism sector has grown rapidly over the last decade, which largely contributed to the generation of revenue for the country. Despite these successes, the country has experienced some setbacks, particularly in recent years. The current account deficit has been on the rise, which was mainly due to increasing hydropower-related imports to facilitate the installation of new hydropower plants. In addition, rapid credit growth has led to a consumption and housing boom, which contributed to large non-hydropower related imports. Consequently, the total reserves for the country as a percentage of total external debt has declined - reducing their ability to service debt - which is concerning since their external debt as a ratio of GDP has risen to over 80 percent in 2013-14 from around 55 percent in 2007- 08. This paper focuses on the macroeconomic trends that Bhutan has experienced since the 1990s. The paper provides detailed graphs and tables on selected economic indicators, particularly on the budget, inflation and balance of payment estimates for the country. However, the data available from various sources * Department of Economics and Related Studies, University of York, York, UK We would like to extend our appreciation to Sabina Alkire, at the OPHI, for her support throughout. -

Foreign Trade in Bhutan
Chapter-6 Foreign Trade in Bhutan • Introduction • Bhutan's Trade Policy Initiatives • Trade Patterns in Bhutan • Bhutan's Trade Pattern with India • Bhutan's Trade with Countries other Than India • Bhutan's Overall Trade Pattem • External Trade and Environmental Linkages in Bhutan • Conclusion • Reference 6.1: Introduction The economy of Bhutan is regarded as a closed economy and characterized by extreme isolationism from the rest of the world. A careful probe into the history of the country however shows that the country did have trade relations with neibouring countries like India (Bengal & Assam) and Tibet even in the medieval period. However, there is no denying the fact that foreign trade of Bhutan was constrained by some genuinely prohibitive factors viz. landlockness of the country, prevailing barter economic system, existence of self-sufficient communities producing petty marketable surplus as well as its non-colonial regime. Bhutan's foreign trade was traditionally confined to a few basic essential commodities like salt, soda, kerosene, tea etc. and was not governed by laws of the comparative advantage. However, this trade helped economic development of the country from various aspects of development. This pattern of trade continued up to late 1950s. All this has been discussed in chapter-2 of this dissertation. It was only after the introduction of its planned development regime m 1961 that Bhutan's foreign trade gradually diversified both in terms of commodities as well as trading partners. Even at the beginning of its planned economic development, Bhutan exported a few primary products to its southern neighbours, the northern trade being closed for the Chinese occupation of Tibet in 1958. -

Copyright and Moral Rights remain with the authors and/or copyright owners. Manuscript ‘Where is Bhutan?’: The Production of Bhutan’s Asymmetrical Inbetweenness in Geopolitics Abstract In this paper, I interrogate the exhaustive ‘inbetweenness’ through which Bhutan is understood and located on a map (‘inbetween India and China’), arguing that this naturalizes a contemporary geopolitics with little depth about how this inbetweenness shifted historically over the previous centuries, thereby constructing a timeless, obscure, remote Bhutan which is ‘naturally’ oriented southwards. I provide an account of how Bhutan’s asymmetrical inbetweenness construction is nested in the larger story of the formation and consolidation of imperial British India and its dissolution, and the emergence of post-colonial India as a successor state. I identify and analyze the key economic dynamics of three specific phases (late 18th to mid 19th centuries, mid 19th to early 20th centuries, early 20th century onwards) marked by commercial, production, and security interests, through which this asymmetrical inbetweenness was consolidated. -
