New Century Publications Foreign Exchange Risk Management
Book SynopsisIn the early 1990s, the foreign exchange (forex) market in India was in the initial stages of development and suffered from several shortcomings. The spot market, as well as forward market, lacked depth and liquidity. The market was skewed with a handful of public sector banks accounting for the bulk of merchant business, with foreign banks handling most of inter-bank business. The forward rates reflected demand and supply, rather than interest rate differentials, owing to lack of integration between the money and forex markets and also due to restrictions on borrowings/lendings in the international market. India''s post-reforms period (1991 onward) has been marked by wide-ranging measures to widen and deepen the foreign exchange market. In line with the liberalization measures undertaken in other areas, various reform measures have been introduced in the foreign exchange market to make it liquid, vibrant, open, and market-determined. From a managed floating system under which the exchange rate was officially determined, the regime has passed through several phases to reach the present market-based system under which the exchange rate is determined by forces of demand and supply. With the introduction of market-determined exchange rate, companies have been exposed to risks of fluctuating rates which divert their attention from day-to-day corporate affairs. Management of risk associated with exchange rate is a new challenge for company managers. What is this risk? What are the perceptions of corporate managers about it? How to cope with it? These issues and solutions are discussed in Foreign Exchange Risk Management.

Pentagon Press BCIM-Economic Corridor: The Road Ahead
Book SynopsisThe BCIM (Bangladesh, China, India, Myanmar) Forum (earlier known as the Kunming Initiative) was founded as a Track-II Dialogue in 1999 with the objective of widening and deepening regional and sub-regional cooperation. Over the years, member countries of the forum have strived to work together on issues such as trade tourism and connectivity as well as cooperation in social, cultural and academic fields to enhance interactions at all levels. While physical connectivity for the BCIM-EC is important, it is equally important to consider various soft connectivity inputs into the project considering that the member countries together constitute a market of 2.8 billion people and a GDP of more than US$ 9 trillion. Swift economic transitions in Myanmar have given a fillip to India and China’s attempts to promote growth and development in their respective border provinces. These developments inter-alia have led to mushrooming of sub-regional cooperation that involves trade facilitation measures in its broadest meaning to include transit and motor vehicles agreements, customs procedures, special arrangements for border trade, etc. The BCIM-EC project would need to assess the potential benefits to India, particularly to the North East Region. The infrastructural needs of this sub-region as well as the prospects for enhanced trade and investments, revival of traditional industries and other welfare gains would require careful analyses. This book attempts to analyse such issues in addition to assessing the opportunities that BCIM-EC offers, and challenges that it faced with.

Peeters Publishers Europa: Charming Zeus ... and Numerous Others!:
Book SynopsisThe central topic in this volume is enlargement-induced institutional change of the European Union (EU). Ever since its embryonic stages, the EU has been a highly attractive organisation to join. The EU consists of 27 member states (2007) and after several rounds of accession it looks as if enlargement is in the Union's genes. Moreover, the EU has far-reaching supranational competences which are widely varying in an increasing number of areas. These reveal the coincidence of widening and deepening as the distinctive feature of European integration. The purpose of this volume - Europa: Charming Zeus ...and Numerous Others: International Political Economy of EU Accession - is to provide the reader with a rationale which explains rather than describes integration processes. The volume offers both a new theoretical framework for the study of enlargement-induced institutional change and a wide range of empirical studies which are original in topic and approach. Contributions range from historical overviews of the processes of enlargement, to analyses of specific policy fields and the modelling of decision-making in the EU. What the contributions have in common is that they focus on the dynamics of integration and follow the leading question of international political economy as put forward by Susan Strange: Cui bono?

Presses Interuniversitaires Europeennes Reseaux Economiques Et Construction Europeenne
Book SynopsisLa notion de réseaux économiques n'a guère encore été mise en relation avec celle de gouvernance par les historiens. Ce volume s'y essaie à travers deux séries de questions. D'une part, quels sont les acteurs économiques qui, en dehors des instances publiques, combattent ou portent le projet européen et quels sont leurs objectifs? D'autre part, comment, à travers des ensembles de relations complexes, notamment de maillages des espaces sociaux, ces acteurs influencent-ils une décision, une attitude ou une orientation concernant la gestion de la Cité européenne? Vingt-huit contributions répondent à ces questions, sans omettre de prendre en compte les problèmes de méthode, le témoignage d'acteurs et les interpellations de décideurs contemporains. The notion of economic network has rarely been linked by historians to that of governance. This volume attempts it by means of two series of questions. On the one hand, who are the economic actors that, beyond public authorities, fight or support the European project and what are their objectives? On the other hand, how do these actors, by complex systems of relations, principally interconnections of the social sphere, influence a decision, an attitude or an orientation relating to the governance of Europe? Twenty-eight contributions address these questions, and take into account issues of methodology, testimonies of actors and the interpellations of today's decision-makers.

P.I.E-Peter Lang S.A., Editions Scientifiques Internationales Europe Organisée, Europe Du Libre-Échange ?: Fin
Book SynopsisL'architecture économique de l'Europe a toujours suscité le débat parmi les acteurs économiques et sociaux. De la révolution industrielle aux années 1960, la mise en place d'une Europe économique a opposé les tenants d'une Europe organisée aux partisans du libre-échange. Choisissant de croiser les interventions de jeunes chercheurs et d'historiens plus confirmés, cet ouvrage tente de faire le point sur ces approches. Se situant résolument dans la longue durée, il s'interroge sur les racines de l'identité économique de l'Union européenne et du marché unique. La dizaine de contributions qui composent ce volume porte un regard neuf sur ces éléments : les auteurs abordent ainsi clairement la problématique de l'approfondissement de la construction européenne à travers l'intégration économique, et apportent une contribution décisive à la question des inflexions et des ruptures dans le processus historique.

United Nations SME competitiveness outlook 2023: small
Book SynopsisThis SME Competitiveness Outlook assesses the impact of conflict and fragility on business performance. It unveils a Fragility Exposure Index, and shows that fragility, as experienced by firms, can be reduced by 25% if they take actions to reinforce competitiveness. These include engaging with business support organizations, improving financial management and retaining skilled staff. The report finds that direct support to firms is helpful and must be complemented by reforms to promote peace and stability and improve the business environment. Humanitarian partners, development agencies and capable state institutions must collaborate, coordinate and have a deep understating of the context to avoid reinforcing the drivers of fragility, and maximize positive outcomes

United Nations Asia-Pacific trade and investment report 2023/24:
Book SynopsisDigital technologies are revolutionizing the landscape of international trade and investment. As digital trade gains momentum, disparities in readiness are accentuating pre-existing inequalities. Countries and communities that are ill-prepared to seize these opportunities risk losing out on fundamental drivers of contemporary economic growth, societal development, and environmental conservation. Trade and investment authorities are grappling with a pressing challenge: - How can digital trade and investment policies be crafted to simultaneously drive growth and cater to societal and environmental imperatives? This core inquiry is the focus of the Asia-Pacific Trade and Investment Report, 'Unleashing Digital Trade and Investment for Sustainable Development.' The report, jointly prepared by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), delves into both the potential and obstacles associated with digital trade and investment. This report weaves together an integrative policy-making approach, particularly enlightening policymakers in trade and investment about the roles they can assume to realize the potential of digital trade and investment as effective means for the achievement of the SDGs. The report seeks to broaden policymakers' perspectives and is expected to stimulate policy dialogues and inter-ministerial and public-private sector collaboration. It advocates for a cohesive strategy at both the global and regional levels to reap greater benefits from digital trade and investment and as well as to maintain focus on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
