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.

  • May 5, 2006 Technical Revisions to the 2005 Barrier Option Supplement
    May 5, 2006 Technical revisions to the 2005 Barrier Option Supplement The Foreign Exchange Committee (FXC), International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA), and EMTA, Inc. announce two technical revisions to the 2005 Barrier Option Supplement to the 1998 FX and Currency Option Definitions (“2005 Supplement”). The first revision suggests how to incorporate into a Barrier or Binary Option Transaction the terms of the 2005 Supplement. The relevant Confirmation of the Barrier or Binary Option Transaction should state that “the 1998 FX and Currency Option Definitions, as amended by the 2005 Barrier Option Supplement, as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc., EMTA, Inc., and the Foreign Exchange Committee are incorporated into this Confirmation.” For purposes of clarity, this provision has been added to Exhibits I and II to the 2005 Supplement, which illustrate how Barrier and Binary Options may be confirmed under the terms of the 2005 Supplement and the 1998 FX and Currency Option Definitions (“1998 Definitions”) (see the second paragraph and footnote 2 of each Exhibit). The revised Exhibits I and II are attached to this announcement. The second revision further describes the approach taken to the conventions for stating Currency Pairs in the Currency Pair Matrix that was published with the 2005 Supplement. The Matrix is provided as a best practice to facilitate the use of standard market convention when specifying the exchange rates relating to certain terms in a Confirmation of a Barrier or Binary Option Transaction that incorporates the provisions of the 2005 Supplement. The introductory statement to the Matrix has been revised to highlight that its conventions for stating currency pairs may be different from trading conventions.

  • Reforming the Monetary System of Lebanon: a Prerequisite to Getting out of the Debt Trap - Dr
    Reforming the monetary system of Lebanon: A prerequisite to getting out of the debt trap - Dr. Georges Corm (Financial consultant and former Minister of Finance) - I. Monthly, Analysis Issue No 16, Oct 2003 Few analyses of the Lebanese financial and monetary system have focused on its strange and perverse main features. This system is largely responsible for the huge amount of debt that has plagued Lebanon since 1994-1995. It is true that we hear calls from time to time to devalue the Lebanese pound as a magic remedy for all our economic ills. But the social and political costs of liberating the price of the pound from the Central Bank administered exchange rate will be so high that it is doubtful that any government will take, by its own will, such a measure. Where would the decline of the pound stop if the Bank of Lebanon refrains, as it did in 1992, from administering the exchange rate? Wild speculation might bring a total collapse of our monetary and payment system. In fact, it is our feeling that the problem of the exchange rate of the Lebanese pound is not being tackled properly. The question is not the supposed overvaluation of the pound, because such an overvaluation cannot be calculated properly when the economy is largely dollarized, as is the case in Lebanon. In addition, there is no guarantee that a sharp devaluation of the pound will give a boost to our exports. In 1992, in spite of the pound declining from LL 850 to LL 2,800 to the dollar, our exports were not boosted.

  • Optimum Exchange Rate and Economic Growth in Sudan
    Munich Personal RePEc Archive Optimum Exchange rate and Economic Growth in Sudan Arabi, Khalafalla King Khalid University 2020 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/104128/ MPRA Paper No. 104128, posted 15 Nov 2020 21:44 UTC Optimum Exchange rate and Economic Growth in Sudan Khalafalla Ahmed Mohamed Arabi College of Business – King Khalid University [email protected] Abstract This paper targets the Sudanese pound's optimum exchange rate value against the US dollar. Threshold regression is the key method for evaluating a sample duration over the period 1960-2017 for four variables, which are the real GDP (Y), the exchange rate (X) as threshold variable, two non-threshold variables labor force, and investment, which serves as a proxy for capital stock. Results point to a positive sign of the threshold variable up to the value of 2456, then a negative one above that value. This means that the exchange rate can have a beneficial impact on economic growth up to that value. As postulated, the signs of the non- threshold variables are positive. Compared with investment, the influence of the labor force is greater, indicating the superiority of the labor- intensive principle. The threshold value is in the 2005 year, which corresponds to the best shape of Kaldor square with a growth rate of 6 percent, inflation rate of 8 percent, a budget deficit to GDP ratio of (-2) percent, and a balance of payment to GDP ratio of (-1). Human capital and technology modernization must have priority. Government initiatives should strive and make every effort to lift the value of the Sudanese pound (SDG) to the threshold, that can be fostered by the accumulation of gold reserves.
