  • WEEKLY NEWS and ANALYSIS from 30Th SEP to 6Th OCT, 2015
    th th WEEKLY NEWS AND ANALYSIS FROM 30 SEP TO 6 OCT, 2015 INTERNATIONAL NEWS ‘Terror’ tag excludes Iran from UN summit The U.S. did not invite Iran to UN summit on combating the Islamic State and other violent extremist groups because it still designates Iran itself as a state sponsor of terrorism. Even if he had been invited, it is not clear if Iranian President Hassan Rouhani would have taken part. He has made clear he has different views to the Obama administration on fighting IS. However, the absence of an invitation to a critical meeting on violent extremist groups in Syria and Iraq, an issue in which Iran has a major stake, illustrates the remaining institutional and political barriers to U.S. cooperation with Iran even after the successful negotiation of a nuclear agreement on its nuclear programme in July. State department officials confirmed that Iran’s designation as a state sponsor of terrorism was the reason for its exclusion from the countering IS summit being chaired by Mr. Obama. Iran was first designated a state sponsor of terrorism by the U.S. state department in 1984 and the designation has been rolled over each year. The latest state department report said: “Iran continued its terrorist-related activity in 2014, including support for Palestinian terrorist groups in Gaza, Lebanese Hezbollah, and various groups in Iraq and throughout the Middle East.” The U.S. also accused Iran of increasing assistance to Iraqi Shia militias, one of which was designated a terrorist organisation, “in response to the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant incursion into Iraq, and has continued to support other militia groups in the region.

  • How Do Exchange Rates Respond to Political Rhetoric by Populist Leaders?
    KOÇ UNIVERSITY-TÜSİAD ECONOMIC RESEARCH FORUM WORKING PAPER SERIES HOW DO EXCHANGE RATES RESPOND TO POLITICAL RHETORIC BY POPULIST LEADERS? Cem Çakmaklı Selva Demiralp Gökhan Şahin Güneş Working Paper No: 2112 August 2021 This Working Paper is issued under the supervision of the ERF Directorate. Any opinions expressed here are those of the author(s) and not those of the Koç University-TÜSİAD Economic Research Forum. It is circulated for discussion and comment purposes and has not been subject to review by referees. KOÇ UNIVERSITY-TÜSİAD ECONOMIC RESEARCH FORUM Rumelifeneri Yolu 34450 Sarıyer/Istanbul How do exchange rates respond to political rhetoric by populist leaders? August 3, 2021 Abstract With the global rise in authoritarianism, there has been an increase in political commentaries by the populist leaders that have criticized their central banks in favor of lower interest rates. We analyze the effects of these political pressures on exchange rates. We provide strong empirical evidence where political commentaries affect both the level and the volatility of exchange rate returns. The intensity of political pressures as well as institutional strength play a key role in determining the size of the impact. Keywords: Political pressure, exchange rate, time inconsistency, populism. JEL Codes: E5, G1, F31 Total Word Count: 8530 1 1 Introduction There has been a rise in populism (Acemoglu et al., 2013). One impact of this wave is the increase in political pressures towards central banks in favor of lower interest rates. Politicians typically support lower interest rates due to their short-term focus on growth-oriented policies. However, independent central banks may offset these pressures, focusing on long-run price stability and sus- tainable growth.
