  • SURINAME 1. General Trends Suriname's Economy Contracted By
    Economic Survey of Latin America and the Caribbean ▪ 2016 1 SURINAME 1. General trends Suriname’s economy contracted by an estimated 2% in 2015, as falling oil and gold prices took their toll on the real, fiscal and monetary sectors of the economy. This represented a major turnaround from the growth of 2.8% in 2013 and 1.8% in 2014. In addition to lower prices for Suriname’s commodities, the Suralco alumina refinery was shut down in late 2015, when parent company Alcoa decided to streamline its business. As a result, exports and foreign-exchange earnings fell steeply last year. International reserves decreased by almost half in 2015. The central bank, finding it increasingly difficult to maintain the United States currency peg, devalued the Surinamese dollar (Sr$) by 20.5% in November 2015. This was followed by foreign-currency auctions in March 2016 and the introduction of a freely floating exchange-rate regime in May 2016. As a result, the exchange rate rose from 3.35 Surinamese dollars (Sr$) per United States dollar (US$) in early November 2015 to over Sr$ 6 per US$ 1 in May 2016. In April 2016 Suriname reached a staff-level agreement with the IMF for balance-of- payments support in the amount of US$ 478 million over two years. The agreement comes with a raft of structural reforms aimed at increasing government revenues and improving fiscal and monetary policy frameworks. The fiscal deficit expanded in 2015, as the government faced lower commodity-related revenues and higher spending in the lead-up to the May 2015 general election.

  • 0306 Transnistria
    Transnistrian Economy: Initiatives and Risks The idea of a federal state suggested by the OSCE so unexpectedly and supported both by the guarantor states, the Republic of Moldova, and Transnistria is gradually “seizing the masses”. First steps were made towards “a common state”: the composition of joint Constitution drafting commission was approved; workshop on federalism was held under the aegis of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly; the development of the Reintegration Concept is underway. In order to speed up this process it is important to raise potential of mutual understanding and awareness. Searching for a way Before the Republic of Moldova and Transnistria agreed to a future “common state”, the economy of these subregions developed in different ways of trials and mistakes. In Moldova, market reforms started in 1992-1993, but now attempts are being made to strengthen presence of the state in the economy. In TMR, state regulation has always been a preferred method and market processes did not intensify until late 1990s. Generally speaking, the following stages can be distinguished in the economic development of Transnistria: · 1990 – 1991: search for a “free economic zone” model, attempts to implement the “regional self-financing” model suggested by the Baltic republics and popular during perestroika in the USSR. Case for it: large-scale multi-sectoral industry, intensive agriculture, premises for tourism development, and advantages of having transport routes; · 1992: pinnacle of tension in the relations between Chisinau and Tiraspol, military conflict, reciprocal attempts to block the infrastructure: power and gas supply lines, railroads; · 1993 – 1995: search for ways of economic survival without political recognition and with disrupted manufacturing cooperation with the right bank.

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.

  • THE BENEFITS of ETHNIC WAR Understanding Eurasia's
    v53.i4.524.king 9/27/01 5:18 PM Page 524 THE BENEFITS OF ETHNIC WAR Understanding Eurasia’s Unrecognized States By CHARLES KING* AR is the engine of state building, but it is also good for busi- Wness. Historically, the three have often amounted to the same thing. The consolidation of national states in western Europe was in part a function of the interests of royal leaders in securing sufficient rev- enue for war making. In turn, costly military engagements were highly profitable enterprises for the suppliers of men, ships, and weaponry. The great affairs of statecraft, says Shakespeare’s Richard II as he seizes his uncle’s fortune to finance a war, “do ask some charge.” The distinc- tion between freebooter and founding father, privateer and president, has often been far murkier in fact than national mythmaking normally allows. Only recently, however, have these insights figured in discussions of contemporary ethnic conflict and civil war. Focused studies of the me- chanics of warfare, particularly in cases such as Sudan, Liberia, and Sierra Leone, have highlighted the complex economic incentives that can push violence forward, as well as the ways in which the easy labels that analysts use to identify such conflicts—as “ethnic” or “religious,” say—always cloud more than they clarify.1 Yet how precisely does the chaos of war become transformed into networks of profit, and how in turn can these informal networks harden into the institutions of states? Post-Soviet Eurasia provides an enlightening instance of these processes in train. In the 1990s a half dozen small wars raged across the region, a series of armed conflicts that future historians might term collectively the * The author would like to thank three anonymous referees for comments on an earlier draft of this article and Lori Khatchadourian, Nelson Kasfir, Christianne Hardy Wohlforth, Chester Crocker, and Michael Brown for helpful conversations.
