  • Studies in Applied Economics
    SAE./No.128/October 2018 Studies in Applied Economics THE BANK OF FRANCE AND THE GOLD DEPENDENCY: OBSERVATIONS ON THE BANK'S WEEKLY BALANCE SHEETS AND RESERVES, 1898-1940 Robert Yee Johns Hopkins Institute for Applied Economics, Global Health, and the Study of Business Enterprise The Bank of France and the Gold Dependency: Observations on the Bank’s Weekly Balance Sheets and Reserves, 1898-1940 Robert Yee Copyright 2018 by Robert Yee. This work may be reproduced or adapted provided that no fee is charged and the proper credit is given to the original source(s). About the Series The Studies in Applied Economics series is under the general direction of Professor Steve H. Hanke, co-director of The Johns Hopkins Institute for Applied Economics, Global Health, and the Study of Business Enterprise. About the Author Robert Yee ([email protected]) is a Ph.D. student at Princeton University. Abstract A central bank’s weekly balance sheets give insights into the willingness and ability of a monetary authority to act in times of economic crises. In particular, levels of gold, silver, and foreign-currency reserves, both as a nominal figure and as a percentage of global reserves, prove to be useful in examining changes to an institution’s agenda over time. Using several recently compiled datasets, this study contextualizes the Bank’s financial affairs within a historical framework and argues that the Bank’s active monetary policy of reserve accumulation stemmed from contemporary views concerning economic stability and risk mitigation. Les bilans hebdomadaires d’une banque centrale donnent des vues à la volonté et la capacité d’une autorité monétaire d’agir en crise économique.

  • 1 Executive Summary Mauritius Is an Upper Middle-Income Island Nation
    Executive Summary Mauritius is an upper middle-income island nation of 1.2 million people and one of the most competitive, stable, and successful economies in Africa, with a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of USD 11.9 billion and per capita GDP of over USD 9,000. Mauritius’ small land area of only 2,040 square kilometers understates its importance to the Indian Ocean region as it controls an Exclusive Economic Zone of more than 2 million square kilometers, one of the largest in the world. Emerging from the British colonial period in 1968 with a monoculture economy based on sugar production, Mauritius has since successfully diversified its economy into manufacturing and services, with a vibrant export sector focused on textiles, apparel, and jewelry as well as a growing, modern, and well-regulated offshore financial sector. Recently, the government of Mauritius has focused its attention on opportunities in three areas: serving as a platform for investment into Africa, moving the country towards renewable sources of energy, and developing economic activity related to the country’s vast oceanic resources. Mauritius actively seeks investment and seeks to service investment in the region, having signed more than forty Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements and maintaining a legal and regulatory framework that keeps Mauritius highly-ranked on “ease of doing business” and good governance indices. 1. Openness To, and Restrictions Upon, Foreign Investment Attitude Toward FDI Mauritius actively seeks and prides itself on being open to foreign investment. According to the World Bank report “Investing Across Borders,” Mauritius has one of the world’s most open economies to foreign ownership and is one of the highest recipients of FDI per capita.

  • R Basant Roi: Bank of Mauritius' New Headquarters
    R Basant Roi: Bank of Mauritius’ new headquarters Address by Mr R Basant Roi, Governor of the Bank of Mauritius, at the inauguration of the New Headquarters Building of the Bank of Mauritius, Port Louis, 18 December 2006. * * * Dr. The Hon. Navinchandra Ramgoolam, Prime Minister of the Republic of Mauritius Honourable Ramakrishna Sithanen, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Finance and Economic Development His Lordship Mayor of Port Louis Hon. Judges Members of the Diplomatic Corps Fellow Bankers Ladies and Gentlemen Good Afternoon I am pleased to welcome you all to the inauguration of the New Headquarters Building of the Bank of Mauritius. I am privileged and honoured to perform this inaugural ceremony in your distinguished presence, Prime Minister, Sir – a ceremony that is similar to the one performed by the first Governor of the Bank, Mr. Aunauth Beejadhur, for the existing building in the presence of His Excellency, Sir John Shaw Rennie, Governor of Mauritius and late Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam, then Premier and Minister of Finance on 31st May 1967. One of the major constraints in the operation of the Bank when it was established way back in 1967 was insufficient office space. The offices of the Bank were located at various places in Port Louis. Security vault for notes and coins was located at the back of the Treasury building, Exchange Control at the entrance of the present Government Centre and Main Office at the Anglo Mauritius Building. In August 1968, a banking office was opened at the Treasury Building to accommodate the increasing volume of banking business. The existing Bank of Mauritius building at the corner of Sir William Newton St and Royal Road was designed by Messrs Victor Heal and Partners of London.

  • Meir Sokoler: the Time Has Come for a New Bank of Israel Law (Central
    Meir Sokoler: The time has come for a new Bank of Israel law Lecture by Dr Meir Sokoler, Acting Governor of the Bank of Israel, at the scholarships award ceremony at the Technion, Haifa, 17 March 2005. * * * First, I would like to thank you for inviting me to address such a distinguished gathering in such an eminent institution as the Technion. Many years ago I was a student of economics here, and I remember the excellent students of this august institute and the wonderful experience of outstanding instruction I received. I am sure that you have all heard of the Bank of Israel, the country's central bank. It appears, however, that many Israelis do not know much about it, apart from the fact that it prints Israel's money. A few months ago a 6-year-old from an Israeli primary school wrote to the Governor. In the carefully drafted letters of a child who had just learnt how to write, he asked: "Mr. Governor of the Bank of Israel, I heard that you in the Bank of Israel print the country's money. Why don't you print more money so that there won't be any more poor people, and there will be more roads and schools?" It might seem natural that such a young child would not know the answer to the question, but it transpires that many citizens, adults as well as children, ask us the same question in one form or another. At first glance the question seems to be justified. You might think that operating the banknote printing machines for a few more hours would solve all the economy's problems.

Introduction In pursuit of their mandates and consistent with existing legal frameworks, Central Banks in advanced, emerging and many developing countries introduced new policy instruments and made changes to their monetary policy frameworks in order to address low growth and increase in unemployment which resulted from the impact of COVID-19.

The objective of this paper is to present the UMPTs introduced by developed, emerging and African countries after the aftermath of COVID-19 and make recommendations. The paper is organized as follows: The first part defines the most common Unconventional Monetary Policy Tools; the second part highlights the advantages and disadvantages of Quantitative Easing which is the most common (UMPT); the third part discusses UMPTs which were introduced after the COVID-19 in different parts of the World and finally, presents recommendations on the way forward to address the impact of COVID 19.
