The analysis of household foreign currency (FX) lending begins with a short review of the theoretical and empirical literature. I investigate the factors that have helped or hindered such lending, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe. The study goes on to look at the experiences in Poland, Romania and Hungary. The choice is based on the fact that all three countries operate a flexible exchange rate regime and that household FX lending is prevalent in all of them. The analysis of each country touches upon the factors that have contributed to the local development of FX borrowing. However, the study focuses on the regulatory measures taken to curb such lending. The study concludes with a review and critical assessment of the policies that have been adopted with an eye to solving social and economic difficulties arising from FX indebtedness.

Unbalanced Panel Data

Exchange rates and exchange rate regimes in a constantly changing economy have always attracted much attention from scholars. However, there has not been a consensus on the effect of exchange rate on economic growth. To determine the direction and magnitude of the impact of an exchange rate regime on economic growth, this study uses the exchange rate database constructed by Reinhart and Rogoff. This study also employs the GMM (Generalized Method of Moments) technique on unbalanced panel data to analyze the effect of the exchange rate regime on economic growth in Asian countries from 1994 to 2016. Empirical results suggest that a fixed exchange rate regime (weak flexibility) will affect economic growth in the same direction. As such, results from the study will serve as quantitative evidence for countries in the Asian region to consider when selecting a suitable policy and an exchange rate regime to attain high economic growth.

The ravages of two world wars and a desire to develop a politically and economically united Europe led to the establishment of the Eurozone in January 1999. The European Monetary Union was a grand experiment that brought 11 European nations under a single currency, the euro. Complexities associated with the implementation of effective fiscal, budgetary and banking coordination left the bloc vulnerable to asymmetries in the productivity and factor markets of its members. This article analyses how adoption of the euro, which prevented nominal exchange rate adjustments, impacted on the competitiveness and real economies of member states, thereby undermining the European Union’s key priority of creating balanced economic growth and productivity.

Free-floating tenge will not stop Kazakhstani downturn

Exchange Rate Band

Subject Kazakhstan's exchange rate regime. Significance On August 19, the National Bank of Kazakhstan (NBK) announced it was relinquishing control of the exchange rate, thereby triggering a 23% decline in the tenge to a record 257.21/dollar. The tenge has since strengthened slightly to 241/dollar, as of September 2. The previous month, on July 15, the NBK had eased the corridor within which the tenge had been allowed to fluctuate against the dollar -- upwards by 13 points, from 170 to 198/dollar. While this exchange rate band was initially expected to last at least until 2016, a combination of fundamental market factors has prompted Kazakhstan's government to shift to a free-floating rate. Impacts Past and forthcoming cuts in public spending will contribute to the slowdown of economic growth and increase the risk of a recession. Kazakhstan's move to abandon pegging the tenge could prompt competitive devaluations in other parts of Central Asia. Socioeconomic volatility could lead to political instability as the president has yet to designate a successor.
