  • On the Measurement of Zimbabwe's Hyperinflation
    18485_CATO-R2(pps.):Layout 1 8/7/09 3:55 PM Page 353 On the Measurement of Zimbabwe’s Hyperinflation Steve H. Hanke and Alex K. F. Kwok Zimbabwe experienced the first hyperinflation of the 21st centu- ry.1 The government terminated the reporting of official inflation sta- tistics, however, prior to the final explosive months of Zimbabwe’s hyperinflation. We demonstrate that standard economic theory can be applied to overcome this apparent insurmountable data problem. In consequence, we are able to produce the only reliable record of the second highest inflation in world history. The Rogues’ Gallery Hyperinflations have never occurred when a commodity served as money or when paper money was convertible into a commodity. The curse of hyperinflation has only reared its ugly head when the supply of money had no natural constraints and was governed by a discre- tionary paper money standard. The first hyperinflation was recorded during the French Revolution, when the monthly inflation rate peaked at 143 percent in December 1795 (Bernholz 2003: 67). More than a century elapsed before another hyperinflation occurred. Not coincidentally, the inter- Cato Journal, Vol. 29, No. 2 (Spring/Summer 2009). Copyright © Cato Institute. All rights reserved. Steve H. Hanke is a Professor of Applied Economics at The Johns Hopkins University and a Senior Fellow at the Cato Institute. Alex K. F. Kwok is a Research Associate at the Institute for Applied Economics and the Study of Business Enterprise at The Johns Hopkins University. 1In this article, we adopt Phillip Cagan’s (1956) definition of hyperinflation: a price level increase of at least 50 percent per month.

  • Liquidityframeworkandinterbank
    Central Bank of Oman Occasional Paper: 2019-1 Liquidity Management Framework and Interbank Overnight Interest Rate in Oman: An Empirical Investigation Amal Al Raisi, Sunil Kumar and Razan Al Humaidi* Abstract Oman’s overnight inter-bank rate generally follows the trends in federal fund rate due to currency peg with the US dollar and open capital account, albeit with some intermittent deviations. In our ARDL model, we find federal fund rate along with domestic liquidity conditions as drivers of the overnight inter-bank rate in Oman. Accordingly, intermittent deviations of Oman’s overnight inter-bank rate from the federal fund rate appears to have been caused by evolving domestic liquidity conditions and less than perfect arbitrage due to various prudential limits. Keywords: Overnight inter-bank rate, federal fund rate, monetary policy, liquidity conditions JEL Classification: E43, E52, E58 *Amal Al Raisi is a Manager, Sunil Kumar is an Economist, and Razan Al Humaidi is an Associate Research Analyst in Economic Research & Statistics Department of the Central Bank of Oman.

CONFIDENTIAL Central Bank of Oman Occasional Paper: 2019-1 Introduction The Central Banks across a large number of countries have shifted from monetary targeting to interest rate targeting as the main instrument of monetary policy.

  • Advent of Islamic Banks and the Emerging Banking Landscape in Sultanate of Oman
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences (IJHSS) ISSN(P): 2319-393X; ISSN(E): 2319-3948 Conference Edition, July 2014, 85-90 © IASET ADVENT OF ISLAMIC BANKS AND THE EMERGING BANKING LANDSCAPE IN SULTANATE OF OMAN VIBHA BHANDARI Assistant Professor, Department of International Business Administration, College of Applied Sciences, Nizwa, Oman ABSTRACT Islamic banking can be defined as a banking system which is in consonance with the sprit, ethos and value system of Islam and its operations are governed by the rules and principles laid down by Shari'a which means ‘the way to the source of life’. Islamic banks do business just like their counterparts on the conventional side, with the difference that all their operations and businesses are conducted in accordance with the rules and principles prescribed by the Shari'a and the code of behavior called for, by the Holy Quran. Islamic banking has been gaining tremendous popularity over the years, and not just in the Middle East and South East Asia, but even in the UK. Nearly non-existent 30 years ago, the global Islamic finance industry had assets forecast to cross $1.8 trillion in 2013, up from $1.3 trillion in 2011, according to Ernst & Young’s World Islamic Banking Competitiveness Report 2013. Though a late entrant in the field of Islamic banking, the Sultanate’s banking sector is poised to grow. Since, the announcement to open the Islamic Banks in 2011, the banking sphere in Oman has witnessed positive activity with the launch of separate full-fledged Islamic banks as well as new Islamic outlets of the conventional - reputed banks.
