Book Synopsis External Adjustment in Oil Exporters by : Mr.Alberto Behar
Download or read book External Adjustment in Oil Exporters written by Mr.Alberto Behar. This book was released on 2016-09-08. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the decline in oil prices, many oil exporters face the need to improve their external balances. Special characteristics of oil exporters make the exchange rate an ineffective instrument for this purpose and give fiscal policy a sizeable role. These conclusions are supported by regression analysis of the determinants of the current account balance and of the trade balance. The results show little or no relationship with the exchange rate and, especially for the less diversified oil exporters (including the Gulf Cooperation Council), a strong relationship with the fiscal balance or government spending.
