The Impact

This study sought to evaluate the impact of the Indigenisation Policy on the socio-economic emancipation of rural communities in Zimbabwe. A case study approach was taken focusing on the Marange and Zimunya communities in Manicaland Province of Zimbabwe, where diamonds are being mined. Both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies were applied to get a balanced view from these two communities on their socio-economic improvement because of the mining of diamonds, which are a valuable natural resource found in these two communities. Purposive sampling was applied to come up with the sample of senior politicians and traditional leaders. Two Focus groups were formed in the two communities. The study established that the five diamond mining companies doing business in the two communities had failed to honour their pledges of contributing USD10 million each towards the development of the two communities. Only USD400 000 was contributed by two mining companies at the time of the study. Ninety five percent (95%) of the respondents reported that there were no projects that were being implemented to benefit the local communities. It was therefore, concluded that there was limited socio-economic empowerment of the Marange-Zimunya communities by the diamond mining companies. The study recommended the intervention by the Government in order for these mining companies to honour their pledges by coming up with empowerment projects and also by allowing the two communities to have shares in these companies so that they could be economically empowered.

Tax Regulation

The purpose of the article is to examine the state of the tax system in an unstable economy. The initial condition is the lack of uniform methodological and methodological approaches to the formation and organization of the tax system. This study is based on the theoretical provisions of the institutional theory, systemic and synergistic approaches. The main research methods used were analysis and synthesis, methods of induction and deduction, the method of designing hypotheses. The article examines the dynamics and structure of tax payments in the traditional approach to tax regulation. The question of determining the role of direct and indirect taxes is undoubtedly important for a comprehensive analysis of the taxation system since the influence of each of them on the economy is differentiated. The directions of modernization of the system of taxation regulation, the impact of mechanisms, methods, and instruments of tax regulation on various segments of the national economy, primarily on industries that ensure economic growth, have been investigated. The lack of a clear structuring of the elements of tax revenues becomes a serious obstacle to obtaining an adequate assessment of the impact of tax policy on various aspects of the country's socio-economic development. The state tax policy should be aimed at balancing the budget, improving the quality of its implementation, adhering to the timing of the budgetary process and, as a result, ensuring socioeconomic growth. The theoretical and practical significance of the study is to substantiate the need to adapt the tax system to ensure sustainable growth of the national economy.

The Impact

The local and international communities play an important role in the sustainable growth of the Malaysian tourism industry. The principle of sustainable growth in the tourism industry was proposed by the World Tourism Organization (WTO) in 1988. As the tourism industry is one of the largest and fastest growing industries in Malaysia, the government has poured considerable effort into promoting this industry consistent with the objective of the Economic Transformation Program (ETP) to transform from a resource-based economy to a service-based economy. This study aimed to test the hypothesis of tourism-led growth from Malaysia’s perspective. The tourism revenue earned by the government can be used to invest in industry to further promote economic growth in Malaysia. Hence, tourist receipts and capital investment in the tourism industry are important factors that can affect the nation’s economic growth. Utilizing Malaysian data from 1995 to 2016, the study employed the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach to examine whether the tourism-led growth is valid in this study. Empirical findings indicated that both variables have a significant positive impact on economic growth and the hypothesis of tourism-led growth is accepted in Malaysia.

Abstract The Korean government has recently established national and sectoral mid-term greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets. Specifically, the country must reduce its total GHG emissions by 30% compared to business-as-usual (BAU) by 2020. This study has two main purposes. First, the study aims to measure the economic impacts of pursuing and achieving the government’s GHG reduction targets. Second, it aims to estimate each major policy’s potential GHG emission reductions in the various sectors. We use the computable general equilibrium model and develop three scenarios to examine the economic and environmental impacts of Korea’s green growth policies – a baseline scenario wherein the national economy proceeds without green growth policies; scenario A, wherein the government imposes national and sectoral emission reduction targets without adopting green technologies; and scenario B, wherein the government adopts policy and technology as renewable portfolio standard and carbon capture and storage. The simulation results from scenario A indicate that the government’s mid-term targets could pose a significant challenge to Korea’s national economy. In addition, the results from scenario B indicate that low-carbon green policy and technology will play an important role in reducing GHG emissions.

The purpose of this paper is to present the main data about general government debt. It is a challenge to analyze selected group of countries because they are very heterogeneous. For instance Belgium is a well-developed “old-EU” country while Spain is one of the southern European countries with specific issues like unemployment and a huge national debt. Poland, on the contrary, had a centrally planned economy, went through the transition to market economy and only subsequently became an EU member. The key point of this research is to explain how they evolved in the years after the crisis. This paper includes an analysis of the evolution of the public budget of each government.It was fundamental to implement urgent measures and policies, in order to recover the economy of these countries and return to sustainable growth after the 2008 Financial Crisis. A brief overview of these countries’ pensions systems is included, as it has a major share in their government spending and fiscal stability. It is one of the most concerning fiscal issues nowadays that is constantly being in question and probably modified in the short-term.As of 2008, the first symptoms of the international financial crisis began to manifestthemselves in the European countries. As a consequence, European countries like Spain orBelgium suffered a drop in their economic activity and an increase of the unemploymentrate. In the case of Poland, the impact of the crisis was not as dramatic as in other countries,however they also needed to react to the financial deficit.Between the period of 2010 and 2017, the countries needed to make several reformsespecially concerning the national Value Added Tax, and restructuring the provision ofcertain public services such as health funding, infrastructure, education and employment. General government debt-to-GDP ratio is the amount of a country's total gross government debt as a percentage of its GDP. It is an indicator of an economy's health and a key factor for the sustainability of government finance. "Debt" is commonly defined as a specific subset of liabilities identified according to the types of financial instruments included or excluded. The evolution of public debt and the government surplus/deficit among the years, helps to picture how was the country economy situation before the Financial Crisis and therefore helps to understand why the consequences are in some cases more extreme and dramatic than other.

Officially, the COVID-19 pandemic reached Ukraine in March 2020 and came to Ukraine at a time when the national economy was not in the best condition. In fact, the COVID-19 pandemic has transformed not only the structure of the national economy, but also the way of doing business. This is evidenced by indicators that reflect changes in the structure of gross domestic product, changes in the structure of employment and marketing tools. The COVID-19 pandemic has already led to a financial crisis and a crisis in certain areas and sectors of the economy, but there are those who have benefited from quarantine measures. However, there are industries and areas of activity for which the COVID-19 pandemic has given a good start and revenue growth. Timely response and targeted action will reduce the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, prevent a decline in business activity, create conditions for the development of Ukrainian manufacturers and reduce the impact of the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The spread of the Corona virus that has spread to various parts of the world has an impact on the Indonesian economy, both in terms of trade, investment and tourism. In Indonesia, the spread of this virus began on March 2, 2020, many sectors of the economy were affected by this pandemic. Thousands of companies were forced to temporarily close to limit the spread of the virus, resulting in reduced levels of activity in the arts, entertainment and recreation, as well as in real estate agencies and IT companies, however, there are some sectors of the economy that are still able to survive. If we compare it in the gold trading sector, the data shows a large increase in the estimated price for 2020 ytd of US $ 1,830 / troys ounce, even the prediction of the average price in 2021 also shows a constant increasing number. This is what has made the gold business popular because many people consider the price of gold to be more stable during this pandemic. Now the government is trying to open several business sectors and continues to encourage SMEs to carry out online activities, but still in the regions and gradually increase tax revenue. In order to maintain business continuity that saves the national economy, the government has implemented various socio-economic policy programs, including incentive policies and tax facilities that can be utilized by taxpayers. In order to maintain business continuity that saves the national economy, the government has implemented various socio-economic policy programs, including incentive policies and tax facilities that can be utilized by taxpayers. The government has also provided a policy on interest rates and airplane ticket prices so that people are still interested in visiting several discount cities for tourist destinations due to the existence of Covid-19 which has greatly impacted the tourism sector. The crisis due to Covid-19 is currently occurring simultaneously, so that the impact is felt by vulnerable groups who are getting worse, including business groups that need mass crowds, groups of casual daily workers, street vendors, workers affected by layoffs, farmers, the community poor, and so on.

Introduction: The main objective of the study is to evaluate the impact of the moral-recovery program done by different religious organizations in cooperation with the Dangerous Drugs Board (DDB) of the Philippines, Philippine National Police, Local Governments Units, and Non-government Agencies and various business sectors.  Method: A total of 131 drug surenderees from Cavite, Philippines were purposively selected to participate in the study. One hundred fourteen (87%) respondents are male and 17 (13%) are female. Survey questionnaires and interviews were used to gather the data to find out how the program made an impact to the morality of the surrenderees. Frequency and percentages were used for statistical analysis. Result: Results showed that after attending the 3-month moral recovery program, 111 (85%) of the drug surenderees resolved to stop using drugs, 64 (49%) committed to attend church regularly, 98 (75%) have a better relationship with God, and 23 (18%) have a healthier perspective in life and became more responsible members of their own families. The respondents, who were influenced by their friends to use drugs, after attending the 12-session moral recovery program that lasted for three months, changed their lives dramatically from turning to drugs to turning to God in solving their problems. Discussion: This proved that the program helped the drug surenderees to improve their lives and relationship with God and with other people. Since this program is mandated by the government, it is recommended that further studies on the impact of the moral recovery program in other areas in the Philippines be done.
