The Impact

Suppose the agricultural sector is supported by a comprehensive and sustainable planning system and balanced with an adequate budget (such as capital). In that case, the role of the agricultural sector will be optimal. Farmers face the problem of funding; although many farmers can increase their yields, they cannot develop their own farming business if they do not have sufficient funds. Therefore, farmers will apply for loans from formal and informal financial institutions to overcome the lack of funds. However, credit growth has increased, especially in the agricultural sector, which is the agricultural sector where the government plans to improve the rural economy. Agricultural credit plays a crucial role in developing agriculture to obtain higher yields. If output increases, farmers' income will also increase, which will benefit farmers. The research method used was quantitative, with a sample of 100 people. This study used a population of 187 farmers in Kedung Lengkong Village, Dlangu District, Mojokerto Regency. The analysis used in this study was simple regression to understand the impact of credit availability on farmers' welfare. The hypothesis test results were that credit has a positive effect on welfare, with a regression coefficient value of 0.291. Credit helped farmers purchase fertilizers, seeds, and other things related to the need for farming so that the agricultural production process could run according to planning so that production results were in line with farmers' expectations to increase profits. These profits, in the end, became a source to meet the costs of meeting basic needs. The ability to meet these needs raised the standard of living and the community's welfare so that people could have a better quality of life.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the role of corporate governance proxies by ownership structure on the likelihood of firms’ financial distress for a sample of 146 Pakistani public-limited companies listed at the Karachi Stock Exchange over the period of 2003-2012. Design/methodology/approach The dynamic generalized method of moments (GMM) estimator and panel logistic regression (PLR) are used to determine the impact of corporate governance on the financial distress. The ownership structure is used as a determinant of corporate governance, while the Altman Z-score is utilized as an indicator of financial distress, as it measures financial distress inversely. The smaller the values of the Z-score, the higher will be the risk of financial distress. Findings The authors find insignificant impact of ownership structure on firms’ likelihood of financial distress based on the dynamic GMM method. However, the PLR results indicate that foreign shareholdings have a significant negative association with firms’ likelihood of financial distress, in the case of Pakistan. An evidence of a negative and insignificant relationship between institutional ownership and financial distress was observed, which indicates the passive role of institutional investors in Pakistan. The results also reveal a positive and significant relationship between insider’s ownership and likelihood of financial distress. This finding is consistent with the entrenchment hypothesis which predicts that insiders are more aligned with their self-interest than outside shareholders’ interest when their shareholding increases in the business. Furthermore, the results also reveal insignificant association between government shareholdings and the probability of financial distress. The reason could be the social welfare objective of the government entities rather than profit maximization. Practical implications The findings of this study provide more insight to corporate managers and investors about the association between the quality of corporate governance and the degree of financial distress, with respect to Pakistani firms. Furthermore, this study contributes to the existing literature by adding new evidence from developing countries like Pakistan which are helpful for regulatory bodies and policymakers in the formulation of long-term corporate governance strategies to manage the financial distress. It is well established that strengthening the quality of corporate governance practices enhances the efficiency of capital markets and reduces the probability of financial distress. Originality/value The study extends the body of existing literature on corporate governance and the likelihood of financial distress with reference to Pakistan. The results suggest that policymakers may pay special attention to the quality of corporate governance, specifically ownership structure, while predicting corporate financial distress.

Tax forecasting as part of a macro financial controlling system: the case of Ukraine The current system of forecasting and tax planning in Ukraine is oriented to the needs of the government, its goal being to calculate the desired amounts of tax revenue. Fiscal authorities apply administrative pressure on businesses to implement tax plans. In Ukraine, tax forecasting is a process that is focused on achieving short-term goals without taking into account the impact of such actions on the future economic environment, therefore negatively affecting the quality of forecasts. The aim of this article is to justify the directions of tax forecasting improvement in the macro financial controlling system. Elements of tax forecasting and the planning system are examined. The main methods of tax forecasting that are applied by the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine are analyzed. The need to improve the methodology for tax fore-casting, taking into account the expectations of economic agents, is proved. Tools and criteria for effec-tive tax planning and forecasting in Ukraine for controlling bases are developed.

The Impact

Pakistan’s agricultural sector has experienced restructuring over the last decade, from changes in land markets to the move toward nonagricultural labor markets. However, agriculture remains one of the most important sources of livelihood, accounting for 45 percent of the country’s workforce. It is also a key policymaking area, but the role of small farmers in poverty reduction is still being examined. The future of small farms cannot be viewed in isolation, that is, without taking into account their synergies with nonfarm rural activities. We measure the impact of diversifying sources of livelihood on household income and consumption among small farms in rural Pakistan. Using a balanced panel of 2,058 households from the Pakistan Panel Household Survey (2001–10), we find that both consumption and income are (i) significantly higher for households that have diversified their sources of income and (ii) diversified households also plant greater varieties of crops. These results suggest that nonagricultural activities tend to complement agricultural activities with a view to improving welfare in a rural economy.

Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam which has a function of faith, social and economic functions. Muslims who can pay zakat are required to give at least 2.5 per cent of their wealth. The problem of poverty prevalent in disadvantaged regions because of the difficulty of access to information and communication led to a gap that is so high in wealth and resources. The instrument of zakat provides a paradigm in the achievement of equitable wealth distribution and healthy circulation. Zakat potentially offers a better life and improves the quality of human being. There is a human quality improvement not only in economic terms but also in spiritual terms such as improving religiousity. This study aims to examine the role of zakat to alleviate humanitarian issues in disadvantaged regions such as Sijunjung, one of zakat beneficiaries and impoverished areas in Indonesia. The researcher attempted a Cibest method to capture the impact of zakat beneficiaries before and after becoming a member of Zakat Community Development (ZCD) Program in material and spiritual value. The overall analysis shows that zakat has a positive impact on disadvantaged regions development and enhance the quality of life of the community. There is an improvement in the average of mustahik household incomes after becoming a member of ZCD Program. Cibest model demonstrates that material, spiritual, and absolute poverty index decreased by 10, 5, and 6 per cent. Meanwhile, the welfare index is increased by 21 per cent. These findings have significant implications for developing the quality of life in disadvantaged regions in Sijunjung. Therefore, zakat is one of the instruments to change the status of disadvantaged areas to be equivalent to other areas.
