Significance His government is in an impasse with the conservative parliament over the draft budget for the new fiscal year beginning on March 21. Rouhani needs the US sanctions to be lifted fast and a COVID-19 vaccination campaign to allow for an exit from the pandemic in order to meet his economic promises. Impacts The supreme leader will become even more closely involved in shaping economic policy, with the autarkic ‘resistance’ narrative dominant. Khamenei may seek a new ‘jihadi manager’ president, linked to the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC), who follows his economic vision. Progress with vaccinations, which began on February 8, will likely be slow, as supplies have become highly politicised.

AbstractWith the world on the brink of yet another steep recession, and with ecological disaster looming, we can no longer afford the luxury of an economic policy which concentrates on the fight against inflation, leaves unemployment to emergency measures, distribution of wealth and income to the market, and ignores ecological challenges.

This paper illustrates why a tough fiscal policy in East Europe may be rethought. Western economic policy theories may be fashionable but sometimes fail when applied to transition economies. It is advanced a new proposal for guiding fiscal policy where top priority is given to the ratio government debt/GDP and not to implement a tough deficit policy. Selected transition economies have low debt, then a more pragmatic economic strategy combined with a feasible and wise budget rule on fiscal policy may build up a scenario of economic recovery and sustainable membership in a perspective enlarged European Union.

The development of a medium-term model of the British economy has proceeded in Cambridge continuously since 1960. Its purpose is summarised by the preface to the series of papers which describe the main research results: ‘The aim of the project is to study quantitatively in as great detail as possible the present structure and future prospects of the British economy, the possibilities of stimulating its rate of growth and the problems to which this would give rise.’[1] The model was always intended to help in planning and policy making and two sets of alternative projections of the economy, for 1970[4] and for 1972[5], have been published. In the last two years with the comprehensive incorporation of the fiscal system the model has been much more oriented towards economic policy making.

Chapter 1 gives a brief summary of trends in Britain in 1960, and surveys the state of British industry at the end of the year. Chapter 2 looks at world developments and prospects—in particular at the world payments difficulties developing in 1960. In the light of these trends, Chapter 3 considers Britain's export trade and her balance of payments. Chapter 4 then gives a forecast for the British economy during 1961. Chapter 5 examines the world problem of reserves and trade and, finally, considers the problems of current economic policy.
