    © 2018 Nepal Rastra Bank NRB Working Paper No. 43 March 2018 Impact of Exchange Rate on Trade Deficit and Foreign Exchange Reserve in Nepal: An Empirical Analysis# Deepak Adhikari * ABSTRACT This paper explores the impact of exchange rate on trade deficit and foreign exchange reserve in Nepal. These are essential variables for external sector stability. Ordinary least squares (OLS) method is applied by making data stationary. Empirical results show that one percentage point depreciation of the Nepalese rupee (NPR) with respect to US dollar results in an increase in reserve by 0.82 percentage points and decline in trade deficit by 6.75 percentage point. Considering the volatility and fragility in the Nepalese external sector, the government and central bank could use the exchange rate policy to some extent to correct trade deficit and maintain adequate foreign exchange reserve for strengthening external sector. JEL Classification: E49, F31 Key Words: Exchange Rate, Trade Deficit, Foreign Exchange Reserve. # I owe my gratitude to Prof. Dr. Surendra Sundararajan, The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, Dr. Prakash Kumar Shrestha, Director, Nepal Rastra Bank and Mr. Suman Neupane, Deputy Director, Nepal Rastra Bank for their valuable comments and suggestions in the preparation of this paper. * Assistant Director, Nepal Rastra Bank. Email: [email protected] Impact of Exchange Rate on Trade Deficit and Foreign Exchange Reserve in Nepal: An Empirical Analysis NRBWP43 I. INTRODUCTION Exchange rate is a key variable in the international trade. It is the price of domestic currency in relation to foreign currency, i.e., it is the price at which domestic currency is converted into foreign currency or vice versa (Gillis, et.al., 1996).

  • Analysis of Exchange Rate Fluctuations: a Study of PKR VS USD Samea Khurram Bhutt ∗, Mushtaq Ur Rehman ∗∗ & Shafiq Ur Rehman ∗∗∗
    Analysis of Exchange Rate Fluctuations: A Study of PKR VS USD Samea Khurram Bhutt ∗, Mushtaq ur Rehman ∗∗ & Shafiq ur Rehman ∗∗∗ Abstract The current research is aimed to study the dynamic association between macro economic variables and exchange rate in Pakistan. For this purpose the study analyzes quarterly time series of the relevant variables from 1998 quarter 1 to 2012 quarter 4. The study tests the proposed hypotheses using econometric models that are widely accepted and practiced in academic research in the areas of economics and finance. In the first place the study investigates as to whether all- time series variables (exchange rate and the set of seven (7) macro- economic variables) are stationary or not. Then the study investigates in multivariate form, the co-integration properties of the variables under investigation. Further the study applies Granger-cause macro- economic variables or vice versa in the multivariate form. Along this line, the study also applies the Granger-causality test in the bi-variate form to investigate the lead-lag relationship and hence establish the direction of influence i.e. uni-directional. The study results suggest that there is a long-run association between exchange rate and inflation at 10% significance level. The Granger-causality test suggests that the direction of influence is more from inflation to exchange rate than from exchange rate to inflation (though both are statistically insignificant). The results from the Granger-causality test suggest that money supply leads exchange rate i.e. money supply Granger-cause exchange rate (a uni-directional causality). The study reports finding that indicate a bi- directional causality between exchange rate and total reserve less gold.

  • 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.

  • Bilateral Relations Between India and Pakistan, 1947- 1957

Faculty of History University of Cambridge September, 2012. 1 This dissertation is the result of my own work, includes nothing which is the outcome of work done in collaboration, and falls within the word limit granted by the Board of Graduate Studies, University of Cambridge. Pallavi Raghavan 2 ABSTRACT This dissertation will focus on the history of bilateral relations between India and Pakistan. It looks at how the process of dealing with issues thrown up in the aftermath of partition shaped relations between the two countries. I focus on the debates around the immediate aftermath of partition, evacuee property disputes, border and water disputes, minorities and migration, trade between the two countries, which shaped the canvas in which the India-Pakistan relationship took shape. This is an institution- focussed history to some extent, although I shall also argue that the foreign policy establishments of both countries were also responding to the compulsions of internal politics; and the policies they advocated were also shaped by domestic political positions of the day. In the immediate months and years following partition, the suggestions of a lastingly adversarial relationship were already visible. This could be seen from not only in the eruption of the Kashmir dispute, but also in often bitter wrangling over the division of assets, over water, numerous border disputes, as well as in accusations exchanged over migration of minorities.

  • An Analysis of the Impact of Real Effective Exchange Rate on Economic Growth of Nepal Sujan Koirala Lecturer, Nepal Commerce Campus
    Pravaha Journal-2018 An Analysis of the Impact of Real Effective Exchange Rate on Economic Growth of Nepal Sujan Koirala Lecturer, Nepal Commerce Campus Abstract This article is designed to assess the impact of real effective exchange rate (REER) on economic growth of Nepal. The study uses annual time series data for the period of 1975 to 2015. Engle- Granger residual based test and error correction model have been used to detect the impact of REER on real GDP of Nepal. The explanatory variables used in the study are real effective exchange rate, broad money supply, trade openness and gross fixed capital formation. The results of the study reveal that real effective exchange rate has positive impact on the real GDP of Nepal. Based on the findings, the study concludes that the transmission mechanism of REER through aggregate demand hold in case of Nepal and this result is compatible with the traditional approach to exchange rate. Finally, it is recommended that broad money supply continues to be relevant monetary policy for Nepal. Moreover, Nepal must use the real exchange rate as one of the macroeconomic policies. Key Words: Exchange Rate, Trade Openness, Broad Money Supply etc. Introduction The exchange rate has become a growing focus of attention in the recent policy debate in developing countries. This is mainly due to two reasons. First, with increased emphasis on export-led growth and the dismantling of tariff and non-tariff barriers, the role of the exchange rate in growth and development has gained added importance. Drawing on the experience of late-industrializers in East Asia, competitive and stable exchange rates have come to be seen as a key ingredient of successful industrialization.
