It rigorously analyzes policy alternatives for a range of relevant topics, including the implications of changing demographic trends for growth and unemployment, determinants of inflation, financial-sector reform and Islamic banking, fiscal sustainability in oil-dependent economies, exchange rate and trade arrangements, and impediments to foreign direct investment. The book’s overall theme-self-sustaining and faster growth can be achieved through comprehensive structural reforms and closer collaboration between the region’s policymakers and the international community.BooksBanks and BankingimfExports and ImportsimfForeign ExchangeimfMacroeconomicsimfTaxationimfFinance: GeneralimfDemographyimfTrade: GeneralimfTrade PolicyimfInternational Trade OrganizationsimfBanksimfDepository InstitutionsimfMicro Finance InstitutionsimfMortgagesimfFiscal PolicyimfDemographic Economics: GeneralimfCurrencyimfForeign exchangeimfInternational economicsimfPublic finance & taxationimfBankingimfFinanceimfExchange ratesimfTariffsimfExportsimfReal exchange ratesimfImportsimfTaxesimfInternational tradeimfTariffimfBanks and bankingimfCommercial policyimfMiddle EastEconomic conditions1979-Middle EastEconomic policyAfrica, NorthEconomic conditionsAfrica, NorthEconomic policyMoroccoimfBanks and BankingExports and ImportsForeign ExchangeMacroeconomicsTaxationFinance: GeneralDemographyTrade: GeneralTrade PolicyInternational Trade OrganizationsBanksDepository InstitutionsMicro Finance InstitutionsMortgagesFiscal PolicyDemographic Economics: GeneralCurrencyForeign exchangeInternational economicsPublic finance & taxationBankingFinanceExchange ratesTariffsExportsReal exchange ratesImportsTaxesInternational tradeTariffBanks and bankingCommercial policy339/.0956Iqbal Zubair1630718International Monetary Fund.DcWaIMFBOOK9910809286703321Macroeconomic Issues and Policies in the Middle East and North Africa3969175UNINA
