  • Sierra Leone Market Price Bulletin
    BULLETIN Quarter-1 2018 ISSUE-6 Fighting Hunger Worldwide Sierra Leone Market Price Bulletin The quarterly Sierra Leone Market Price Bulletin provides updates on price changes for staple food commodities in Sierra Leone. This information can be used to guide programme and policy decisions by development actors. It can also assist smallholder farmers to plan agricultural and marketing activities. To compile the Bulletin, the Vulnerability Analysis and Mapping (VAM) unit of the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) in Sierra Leone works with the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Food Security (MAFFS) to collect vital information on food security indicators throughout the country. This is the sixth issue of the Bulletin, and covers the period January to March 2018. Highlights • The Sierra Leonean Leone (SLL) depreciated by 1 percent compared to the United States Dollar (USD), including a continuous depreciation during the last two months of the quarter. This could be attributed to a decrease in exports and an increase in demand for USD. • The Terms of Trade (ToT, the amount of a commodity that can be purchased by the daily wage of an unskilled laborer witnessed a decreasing trend for the main staples, due to decrease in the wage rates of unskilled laborers compared to the previous quarter. • The prices of the main staple rice, both imported and locally produced, remained relatively stable compared with previous quarter, as this period coincides with the harvest and increased local production. Figure 1: Purchasing power of low-income earners Figure 1 depicts the Terms of Trade (ToT), which is the amount of a commodity that can Terms of Trade (ToT) be purchased by the daily wage of an unskilled 3.7 laborer.

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.

  • AGI Markets Monitor: Rising Commodity Prices, Mozambique's
    AGI Markets Monitor: Rising commodity prices, Mozambique’s debt crisis, and Nigeria’s parallel exchange market October 2016 update The Africa Growth Initiative (AGI) Markets Monitor aims to provide up-to-date financial market and foreign exchange analysis for Africa watchers with a wide range of economic, business, and financial interests in the continent. Following the May 2016 and July 2016 updates, the October 2016 update continues tracking the diverse performances of African financial and foreign exchange markets through September 30, 2016. We offer our main findings on key recent events influencing the region’s economies: the recent rise of fuel and metal prices, Mozambique’s and Nigeria’s credit rating downgrades, and the fall of the Nigerian naira following the June 2016 implementation of the flexible exchange rate system. Commodity prices continue upward trend From January to September 2016, the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) all commodity price index increased by 23 percent, especially bolstered by mounting fuel and metals prices, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. According to the IMF’s October 2016 World Economic Outlook, the increases in fuel prices have been driven in large part by rising natural gas prices in the U.S. (due to weather trends), surging coal prices in Australia and South Africa, and gradually increasing crude oil prices, which, after hitting a 10-year low in January 2016, have risen by 50 percent to $45 in August. On September 28, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) agreed to reduce crude output to between 32.5 to 33 million barrels a day, increasing spot oil prices by $2.5/bbl.

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.
