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. 410 0$aBooks 606 $aBanks and Banking$2imf 606 $aExports and Imports$2imf 606 $aForeign Exchange$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aTaxation$2imf 606 $aFinance: General$2imf 606 $aDemography$2imf 606 $aTrade: General$2imf 606 $aTrade Policy$2imf 606 $aInternational Trade Organizations$2imf 606 $aBanks$2imf 606 $aDepository Institutions$2imf 606 $aMicro Finance Institutions$2imf 606 $aMortgages$2imf 606 $aFiscal Policy$2imf 606 $aDemographic Economics: General$2imf 606 $aCurrency$2imf 606 $aForeign exchange$2imf 606 $aInternational economics$2imf 606 $aPublic finance & taxation$2imf 606 $aBanking$2imf 606 $aFinance$2imf 606 $aExchange rates$2imf 606 $aTariffs$2imf 606 $aExports$2imf 606 $aReal exchange rates$2imf 606 $aImports$2imf 606 $aTaxes$2imf 606 $aInternational trade$2imf 606 $aTariff$2imf 606 $aBanks and banking$2imf 606 $aCommercial policy$2imf 607 $aMiddle East$xEconomic conditions$y1979- 607 $aMiddle East$xEconomic policy 607 $aAfrica, North$xEconomic conditions 607 $aAfrica, North$xEconomic policy 607 $aMorocco$2imf 615 7$aBanks and Banking 615 7$aExports and Imports 615 7$aForeign Exchange 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aTaxation 615 7$aFinance: General 615 7$aDemography 615 7$aTrade: General 615 7$aTrade Policy 615 7$aInternational Trade Organizations 615 7$aBanks 615 7$aDepository Institutions 615 7$aMicro Finance Institutions 615 7$aMortgages 615 7$aFiscal Policy 615 7$aDemographic Economics: General 615 7$aCurrency 615 7$aForeign exchange 615 7$aInternational economics 615 7$aPublic finance & taxation 615 7$aBanking 615 7$aFinance 615 7$aExchange rates 615 7$aTariffs 615 7$aExports 615 7$aReal exchange rates 615 7$aImports 615 7$aTaxes 615 7$aInternational trade 615 7$aTariff 615 7$aBanks and banking 615 7$aCommercial policy 676 $a339/.0956 700 $aIqbal$b Zubair$01630718 712 02$aInternational Monetary Fund. 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809286703321 996 $aMacroeconomic Issues and Policies in the Middle East and North Africa$93969175 997 $aUNINA
