...not suggest an indubitable comprehensive image of the trade impacts of exchange rate volatility in Rwanda. The review of the theoretical literature on this issue indicates that there is no clear-cut relationship between exchange rate volatility and balance of trade. This study examines the effect of exchange rate volatility and balance of trade sector in Rwanda The analysis followed the empirical methods (econometrics and time series analysis). The researchers used UBJ time series analysis to accomplish all stages (stationarity, identification, estimation, diagnostic checking and forecasting) of the models and models validation was of good quality and can be used in forecasting for future values. Polynomial regression model helped to establish the effects of exchange rate on balance of trade. The results revealed a positive quadratic relationship between exchange rate and balance of trade components and by polynomial regression model estimation, exports and imports will increase as exchange rate increases. The researchers recommended improving strategies and techniques for maintaining the quality of Rwandan exports, decreasing the...

...Executive Summary The report entitled “Analysis of Economic Growth and External Sector Behavior” mainly focuses on the study of the structure of the external sector of Bangladesh and its impact on GDP. It involves economic models developed to determine the impact of each sector-Export, Import, Foreign Aid and Remittance, on GDP of Bangladesh. It also involves an analysis of the behavior of these factors in three SAARC countries and the application of the regression model developed. The economic model was developed based on the past behavior of GDP and the external sector. It indicated that Remittance is the sector having the most significant impact on GDP and aid the second most significant. While imports negatively affect economic growth, exports have played a very important role over the period. The remittance of Bangladesh has been increasing over the last few years. Hence, its impact on GDP has also been rising. In the span of 34 years export as percentage of GDP increased from 2.2% to 15.4%. Hence, performance was moderately good. The economy has been suffering from ever increasing trade deficits, despite several export promotional measures. Large import payments mainly account for this problem. Foreign aid shows large fluctuations over the period Finally, an analysis was conducted on the behavior of the external sectors in the SAARC countries using the regression model. Export was found to be the dominant sector in India, while imports had the minimum impact on GDP. Pakistan...

...Bangladesh in a number of ways. Firstly, it supplements domestic investment which is low due to lack of resources in these countries. Secondly, FDI is expected to generate employment, transfer, increase domestic competition and bring other positive externalities such as transfer of good practices. Bangladesh offers attractive investment opportunities to foreign investors and has adopted policies to attract FDI into the country. In fact Bangladesh seems to offer one of the most liberal FDI regimes in South Asia. The economic model was developed based on the past behavior of GDP and the external sector. It indicated that FDI is the sector having the most significant impact on GDP and aid the second most significant. While imports negatively affect economic growth, exports have played a very important role over the period. During the 1990s, notable progress was made in economic performance. Along with maintaining economic stabilization with a significantly reduced and declining dependence on foreign aid, the economy appeared to begin a transition from stabilization to growth. In the 1980s, per capita GDP had grown slowly at the rate of about 1.6 per cent per...

The paper at hand asks, whether a stabilizing effect via international trade and domestic structural change on the GDP of oil importing countries can be observed, if a permanent oil price increase occurs. At least for Germany, structural change from consumer goods to investment goods industry and an improvement of international competitiveness limit negative impacts of increased energy prices.

This is true for trade among individuals or organizations within a nation, and among individuals or organizations in different nations. • Students will be able to use this knowledge to: Negotiate exchanges and identify the gains to themselves and others. Compare the benefits and costs of policies that alter trade barriers between nations, such as tariffs and quotas. Benchmarks, Grade 12: At the completion of grade 12, students will know • A nation pays for its imports with its exports. Lesson Overview Balance of payments accounting is an often misused and misunderstood tool for keeping track of our economy’s flow of imports and exports. While the data, itself, is neutral, it is sometimes reported in ominous tones, especially when the numbers total up to a deficit in the merchandise account. As students learn more about trade, they appreciate that a trade deficit is not necessarily bad any more than a trade surplus is necessarily good. This lesson reinforces their appreciation of that reality by identifying the components of the balance of trade. Learning about the flow of financial assets captured in the capital account should add a whole new dimension to their understanding of the full scope of trade. The accompanying classroom activity allows students to explore balance of...

...balance, inflation and the national product. Fundamental analysis is based on the observation and evaluation of these economic data, as has been proved in the past, has influenced exchange rates. Taking into account these correlations optimal analysis can be done to give an indication of the long-term trend of exchange rates; * technical factors. historical rate fluctuations and volumes are examined and analyzed. Some models, which are expected to repeat themselves over time, can be used as a predictive criterion for short-term trends (technical analysis); * expectations. activities of financial operators are not the only based on known economic data, but also on their expectations of future trends; * political events / psychological factors, such as elections, political tensions, etc. Fundamental analysis is based on the study of the economy. It is based on the assumption that the supply and demand of currencies is the result of economic processes that can be observed in practice and can be predictable. Fundamental analysis studies the relationship between the evolution of exchange rates and economic indicators, a relationship that exists and is used to make predictions. Up to this point, none of the theories views ahead serves all the exchange rate forecast requirements. This is why there are many factors of parallel evaluation, valid for part of the study area, but can also be mutually exclusive. Analysis of the balance of payments This...

...payments, and it contains the rules about which transactions are allowed. A favorable balance of payments usually implies a surplus which means that more funds are flowing in than leaving. Every transaction is recorded twice, once as a credit and once as a debit. A key point to remember about the balance of payments account is that the value of all the transactions must sum to zero. The balance of payments account consists of the following components: • Current Account • Capital Account Current Account The Current Account includes all transactions which give rise to or use up national income. The current account has four components: • The balance on goods, which records exports and imports of physical, relocatable merchandise. The export of betel nut, for example, brings in a credit, while the import of cars creates a debit. • The balance on services, which records transactions relating to the provision of non-physical items such as transport, travel and insurance. • The balance on investment income, which records dividends and interest payments that Nepalese earn on assets held overseas, and also payments to foreign residents on assets held in Nepal. • The balance on current transfers, which records transactions relating to the provision of goods, services, cash or other items of value between residents and non-residents that are intended to be used for consumption in the short term and for which there is no payment.
