Library Collections

Since 1985, when the International African Institute took the initiative of organising a one-day seminar entitled ‘The Book Famine in Africa’, awareness has grown of the difficulties African scholars face through lack of access to recently published books and journals. Scarcity of locally published material in specialised educational fields means that imported books are—and will remain for some time—the only way in which library collections can be sustained and developed. In countries experiencing economic decline and a shortage of foreign exchange, the role of international donors in tertiary-level library development becomes critical. It has not always been possible, however, for institutions to know whom to approach for assistance.

The success of this process largely depends on the strength of the domestic economy and stable economic growth. To attain such a goal certain changes in economic approaches are required which imply more active, focused and concerted steps in the monetary, fiscal and foreign exchange policy.

Before And After

This paper investigates factors affecting Vietnam’s stock prices including US stock prices, foreign exchange rates, gold prices and crude oil prices. Using the daily data from 2005 to 2012, the results indicate that Vietnam’s stock prices are influenced by crude oil prices. In addition, Vietnam’s stock prices are also affected significantly by US stock prices, and foreign exchange rates over the period before the 2008 Global Financial Crisis. There is evidence that Vietnam’s stock prices are highly correlated with US stock prices, foreign exchange rates and gold prices for the same period. Furthermore, Vietnam’s stock prices were cointegrated with US stock prices both before and after the crisis, and with foreign exchange rates, gold prices and crude oil prices only during and after the crisis.
