Aspects Of Countertrade And Development, William Rieber Jan 1988

Aspects Of Countertrade And Development, William Rieber

Scholarship and Professional Work - Business

Countertrade or international barter has enjoyed a flourish of activity during the 1980s. Some authors have suggested that countertrade is an effective development tool for third world countries and indeed represents the beginning of a rearrangement of the international economic order in favor of lesser developed. countries....On the other hand, others have suggested that countertrade is an aberration reflecting a misguided understanding of international trade and finance by LDC policymakers.

'Small Profits': Strukturmerkmale Und Entwicklungsprobleme Der Urbanen Individualwirtschaft In Der Vr China, Wolfgang Jamann, Thomas Menkhoff Jan 1988

'Small Profits': Strukturmerkmale Und Entwicklungsprobleme Der Urbanen Individualwirtschaft In Der Vr China, Wolfgang Jamann, Thomas Menkhoff

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

This article intends to analyse recent structural patterns, development problems and the reasons for rehabilitation of the urban private economy in the People’s Republic of China since 1978. The authors start from the thesis that the so-called “private sector” in China is not comparable with its “out”-differentiated counterpart in Western industrial countries, but is interlaced, in a complex way, with informal, partly illegitimate activities, interpersonal relation-networks (“guanxi”) or economic transactions of state/collective factories. The article illustrates the subordinate situation of the individual labourers in terms of their political regulation by (sometimes restrictive) licence procedures, taxes and fees; resource supply problems …

Developments In The Agricultural Sector During The Fourth Quarter Of 1987, Central Bank Of Nigeria Cbn

Economic and Financial Review

With the emergence of the dry season and harmattan in most parts of the country, very little farming activity took place during the fourth quarter of 1987. Rather, some northern states, namely, Bauchi, Niger and Sokoto reported serious drought with grasshopper infestations which damaged thousands of hectares of farm crops. However, a total of 124,788 metric tonnes of fertilizers were distributed to farmers across the country in preparation for the next farming season. This figure represents a decrease of 41.6 per cent over the level in the preceding quarter.

A total of 5.9 million shares were traded in 4,752 deals in the period under review. This represents a decline of 0.6 million shares, or 9.2 per cent over the preceding quarter.

Developments In The Financial System During The Fourth Quarter Of 1987, Central Bank Of Nigeria Cbn Dec 1987

Developments In The Financial System During The Fourth Quarter Of 1987, Central Bank Of Nigeria Cbn

Economic and Financial Review

Growth in monetary aggregates accelerated during the fourth quarter, as the narrow measure of money stock (Ml) rose substantially by 20.2 per cent, compared with 5.0 per cent in the preceding quarter. The major factors responsible for this increase were increased government reliance on bank credit to bridge budgetary gaps and the traditional seasonal rise in demand for credit by the private sector. The broad money (M2) also rose as a result of the rise in Ml and the expansion in commercial banks' time and saving deposit liabilities, following the enhanced yield on these deposits.

Developments In Nigeria's External Sector During The Fourth Quarter Of 1987, Central Bank Of Nigeria Cbn

Economic and Financial Review

Transactions in foreign exchange through the Central Bank resulted in a net inflow of N495.7 million during the 4th quarter of 1987, as against a net inflow of Nl,184.5 million in the preceding quarter. This development increased the official reserves from N4, 159.0 million at the end of the 3rd quarter to N4,654. 7 million at the end of 1987. However the foreign exchange position was far from comfortable as the level of reserves could cover barely two months' imports.

A Review Of The Structural Adjustment Programme, The Foreign Exchange Market And Trade Policies In Nigeria, S. E. Omoruyi Dec 1987

A Review Of The Structural Adjustment Programme, The Foreign Exchange Market And Trade Policies In Nigeria, S. E. Omoruyi

Economic and Financial Review

The purpose of the paper was to throw more light on the Structural Adjustment Programme currently under implementation in Nigeria through a detailed review and appraisal of its policy framework . This was considered to be desirable in view of recent public criticisms many of which appeared not to be well informed. In a more balanced approach, the paper reviewed the benefits and costs of the Programme. Among the benefits highlighted were the removal of the overvaluation of the naira exchange rate, the boost to agricultural exports, greater industrial capacity utilization and the improved international confidence in the Nigerian economy. …

Management Of The Nigerian Economy, E. A. Akatu, E. U. Olisadebe Dec 1987

Management Of The Nigerian Economy, E. A. Akatu, E. U. Olisadebe

Economic and Financial Review

The paper reviews the current economic policy framework against the background of the economic policy regime up to 1985 and observes that the past experience justifies the current experiment with private markets as the principal mechanism for allocating resources. The paper argues that the visible hand of the government does have a supportive role, a lbeit a different one from the past. The new approach is considered as having great potential although ultimate success is as yet beset by various uncertainties as may be expected from any experiment.

Investment Planning Model For Optimum Allocation Of Natural Gas: A Programming Approach, V Ranganathan, R Ramanathan Jul 1987

Investment Planning Model For Optimum Allocation Of Natural Gas: A Programming Approach, V Ranganathan, R Ramanathan

IIMB Management Review

Natural gas has been recognised for a long time as a primary source in most of the developed countries. However, the developing countries like India did not realisethe full potential in this area till reeently. This is all the more appalling since natural gas seems to be India’s predominant hydrocarbon resources. As per the Advisory Board on Energy, in 1976, an Indo-Soviet geological study team had concluded that 75% of India’s ultimate hydro-carbon reserves were in the form of natural gas.

Technology Development: Were The Developing Countries On The Wrong Track During The Last Three Decades?, C V S Ratnam

IIMB Management Review

Since the end of World War II, the tremendous development of technology, and its application in producing goods and services in abundance continued to make life of human beings satisfactory. In this effort, countries in Europe, the USA and later on Japan made great progress. Witnessing these developments, developing countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America made efforts to encourage pursuit of science and technology and their applications for the establishment of industry, and production of goods and services for their people. However, advances that had taken place in countries in Europe, the USA and Japan did not come about …
