However, there are addi- tional codes beginning with ‘X’ that are requested by the European Commission for some statistics and the breakdown of countries may vary between datasets. For bank related data it is import- ant to have separate data for Guernsey, Jersey and Isle of Man, whereas researchers of the real economy have an interest in small territories like Ceuta and Melilla that are not always covered by ISO-3166. Countries that are treated differently in different statistics are described below. These are – United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland – France – Spain – Former Yugoslavia – Serbia United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

  • Poverty & Equity Brief
    Poverty & Equity Brief Sub-Saharan Africa Ghana April 2019 Ghana realized significant poverty reduction and reduced the poverty rate by half in line with the first Millennium Development Goal target with little increase in income inequality. Ghana's poverty rate at 2011 PPP $1.90 per person per day was 47.4 percent in 1991. In 2016, Ghana's poverty rate at $1.90 was down to 13.3 percent, lower than not only the mean poverty rate of Sub-Saharan Africa but also the mean poverty rate of middle-income countries. Ghana's largest fall in poverty was experienced from 1991 to 1998. Since then, poverty reduction has slowed down, and the growth elasticity of poverty has decreased remarkably. Spatial inequality widened, and poverty and vulnerability became more concentrated in the Northern three regions (Northern, Upper East, and Upper West) and the Volta region. The extreme poverty rate declined from 5.2 percent to a negligible share in Greater Accra between 2005 and 2016, while the extreme poverty rate fell from 76 percent to only 45.2 percent in Upper West region during the same period. The spatial inequities reflect both ecological conditions and disparities in service delivery. Agriculture remains the dominant employer in the three Northern regions, but the climate is not suitable for cocoa and other cash crops. The percentage of households using electricity increased from 45 percent to 81 percent between 2005 and 2016 in Ghana. However, only 49 and 59 percent of households had access to electricity in Upper East and Upper West regions, respectively, in 2016.

Our empirical findings reveal that the Gambian dalasi experiences the least volatile official exchange rate while the Liberia dollar is the most volatile in the Zone. There is need for government of Gambia and Nigeria to control overshooting dynamics experienced by dalasi and naira. All the countries should exercise monetary and fiscal measures on time to put their exchange rate volatility under check. Key words: Exchange rate Volatility, GARCH, West African Monetary Zone JEL Classification: C10, F02, F31 1.0 Introduction Exchange rates and their rates of change, in the course of time, are often as reported in the literature to be inconsistent with equilibrium.

  • Economic and Sociocultural Aspects of Cowrie Currency of the Dagaaba of Northwestern Ghana Aspects EMMANUEL YIRIDOE University of Guelph, Canada
    Nordic Journal of African Studies 4(2): 17-32 (1995) Economic and Sociocultural Aspects of Cowrie Currency of the Dagaaba of Northwestern Ghana Aspects EMMANUEL YIRIDOE University of Guelph, Canada ABSTRACT The cowrie currency, the dominant medium of exchange in Ghana before the introduction of the West African Pound and, later, the Cedi, is now merely a vestigial relic in virtually all of modern Ghana except among the Dagaaba. This paper provides an insider's perspective on the economic importance and on the unique role of the cowrie currency among the Dagaaba that explains its perpetual presence. Cultural uses create a derived demand for cowries. Government policies result in debasement of the cedi and, together with monetary characteristics of the cowrie, lead to competition between the cedi and the cowrie. INTRODUCTION In the history of monetary economics, various commodities have evolved as media of exchange because of their intrinsic characteristics and users' extrinsic beliefs. The traditional roles of the cowrie, a previously important medium of exchange, have faded away in virtually all of present day Ghana with the introduction of the national currency, the cedi. However, among the Dagaaba of Northwestern Ghana, cowries have been part of the people as far back as their history goes. Cowries are still used for both monetary and nonmonetary purposes. There have been very little (if any) documented studies on the history of the Dagaaba (Bodomo 1994: 40), and not any on the role of cowries among the Dagaaba. Johnson (1965: 37) notes that many studies around the world on cowrie currencies are generally examined as 'primitive money'.
