Published: March 2022

Este documento resume el Kit de Herramientas de IVA Digital para Latinoamérica y el Caribe, disponible en https://publications.iadb.org/es/kit-de-herramientas-de-iva-digital-para-latinoamerica-y-el-caribe. Este conjunto de herramientas tiene como objetivo ayudar a las autoridades tributarias de la región de América Latina y el Caribe (ALC) a diseñar e implementar reformas de política para garantizar la recaudación efectiva del IVA en las actividades de comercio electrónico. El IVA es la mayor fuente de ingresos fiscales en promedio en la región de ALC. Los principales desafíos del IVA en el comercio electrónico se relacionan con el fuerte crecimiento de las ventas en línea de servicios y productos digitales a consumidores privados ("aplicaciones", reproducción de música y películas, juegos en línea, transporte compartido, etc.) y con el crecimiento exponencial de las ventas en línea de bienes importados de bajo valor, a menudo por vendedores extranjeros, sobre los cuales no se recauda efectivamente el IVA según las normas existentes. Este conjunto de herramientas proporciona una guía detallada para la implementación exitosa de una estrategia integral del IVA dirigida a todos los tipos de comercio electrónico. El conjunto está diseñado para ayudar a los gobiernos a obtener importantes ingresos por IVA y salvaguardar la equidad entre las tiendas físicas y los vendedores extranjeros en línea. El Toolkit ha sido producido por la OCDE en colaboración con el Grupo del Banco Mundial (GBM), el Centro Interamericano de Administraciones Tributarias (CIAT) y el Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (BID).

Published: March 2022

Garlic contains various polyphenolic compounds such as anthocyanin, a bioactive, water-soluble compound generally known for its remarkable health-enhancing properties. However, it is chemically unstable and easily degrades due to various environmental conditions (temperature, pH, presence of oxygen and light, etc.) in addition to its low bioavailability due to fast metabolization and low absorption in the body. Therefore, a nanoencapsulation strategy is essential to address these limitations. In this work, anthocyanin extraction from FBG (Ilocos variety) with 85% acidified ethanol and its encapsulation using the chitosan-alginate nanoparticle system via pre-gelation and polyelectrolyte complex formation were demonstrated. Anthocyanin-loaded chitosan-alginate nanocapsules were characterized in terms of structural features, particle size, morphology, encapsulation efficiency, total phenolic content (TPC), and radical scavenging activity of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). The obtained anthocyanin-loaded nanocapsules have small particle sizes ranging from 50.7 nm to 92.0 nm with high encapsulation efficiency (T3: 78.82%, T2: 68.18%, T1: 65.77%). Results showed that a higher initial concentration of anthocyanin extract promotes higher encapsulation efficiency. Antioxidant activity of the nanocapsules showed low phenolic content (0.11 mg GAE/g) but high DPPH scavenging activity (14.02 mg AAE/g). The chitosan-alginate complex has successfully encapsulated the anthocyanin from fermented black garlic.

Authors: Parihar A. M. , Undirwade D. B. , Wadaskar R. M. , Madankar S. S.
Published: March 2022

Effect of various temperatures on the efficacy of five biorationals, viz. Beauveria bassiana (1.15% WP), Metarhizium anisopliae (1.15% WP), Bacillus thuringiensis (0.5% WP), Azadirachtin (300 ppm) and Spinosad (45 SC) in terms of median lethal concentration (LC50) value was evaluated against diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella larvae. The toxicity data for biorationals against P. xylostella on the basis of larval mortality revealed that M. anisopliae (1.15% WP), B. thuringiensis (0.5% WP), Azadirachtin (300 ppm) and Spinosad (45 SC) registered higher effectiveness (lower LC50 value) at 25°C whereas, increase in temperature led to declined efficacy of biorationals; whereas, use of entomopathogenic fungi, B. bassiana (1.15% WP) was most effective at 30°C and revealed lower effectiveness (higher LC50 value) at 25° and 35° C temperatures. Data on the influence of temperature on toxicity of biorationals to P. xylostella on the basis of adult emergence revealed lowest LC50 value for B. thuringiensis (0.5% WP) at 25°C and the efficacy decreased with increase in the temperature, whereas, M. anisopliae (1.15% WP), B. bassiana (1.15% WP), Azadirachtin (300 ppm) and Spinosad (45 SC) were most effective at 30°C and the higher LC50 value were evident at temperature above 30°C, indicating the reduced efficacy of biorationals with increase in temperature beyond 30°C or preference for lower temperature regimes under laboratory conditions.

Published: March 2022

Trichoderma spp. are long been recognized as efficient fungal biocontrol agents for the control of plant disease and for their ability to increase plant growth and development. Management of soil borne diseases has become very much important since it causes high crop yield losses. The present study was carried out to isolate Trichoderma spp. from soil samples collected from different locations of Kerala and to test their in vitro efficacy against soil borne pathogens viz., Pythium aphanidermatum and Rhizoctonia solani. The Trichoderma spp. was isolated on Trichoderma Selective Medium (TSM) and observed that the isolates differed in radial growth and colony characters such as colony colour, texture and sporulation. In vitro studies revealed the potential of Trichoderma isolates against soil borne pathogens. Isolates TRPN3 and TRPN7 exhibited no sporulation and white mycelial colour. Isolates which completed their growth at four days after inoculation include TRKR1, TRPN3, TRPN7, TRPN10 and TRPN18. Biocontrol activities against different pathogens resulted in inhibition of pathogens. Maximum inhibition percentage was observed by the isolates TRPN7, TRPN15 and TRKR2 against both the pathogens. The maximum inhibition exhibited against both the pathogens is due to the antagonistic property displayed by the isolates.

 Investigations were made to study the effects of three nemato-pathogenic fungi viz. Purpureocillium lilacinum, P. lilacinum + neem cake, Pochonia chlamydosporia and Trichoderma sp. as well as two synthetic insecticides (cartap hydrochloride and carbosulfan) against the Root-knot Nematodes (RKN) of cardamom at the farmers’ fields in three locations of Idukki district, Kerala, India during 2016- 2019. Results revealed that the combined application of P. lilacinum with neem cake gave maximum reduction of typical symptoms of infestation like the leaf narrowing (6.42%) and root knot formation (1.32 nos.) followed by P. chlamydosporia with 8.04% narrowed leaves and 1.83 root knots. The application of P. lilacinum and neem cake in combination (0.82 kg/plant and 2.99) followed by P. chlamydosporia (0.71 kg/plant and 2.71 recorded highest yield and Benefit Cost Ratio, respectively). Bio-control agents are therefore efficient and environmentally safer for managing the RKN in cardamom. Future studies can be directed to focus on the compatibility and efficiency enhancement of these bio-agents with organic amendments.

Published: March 2022

Mosquitoes play a key role in the transmission of diseases such as malaria, yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis, etc. Plant based compounds form alternate source of control measures against mosquitoes, in view of deleterious effects of chemical pesticides. In the present study, insecticidal activity of aerial part of Solanum torvum (Sw.) was studied against Aedes aegypti (L.) under laboratory conditions. GC-MS study was analysed in hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol extract of S. torvum and the leaf extracts yielded around 57 compounds. In the larvicidal and adulticidal tests against A. aegypti, mortality rate increased with the increased concentrations of S. torvum extract. Highest larval mortality was obtained with ethyl acetate 100% extract at the dose of 200 ?g/ml after 48 hrs experiment, followed by methanol 64% and hexane 42% leaf extract. The LC50 values of leaf extract was observed as 159.594 ?g/mL, 182.272 ?g/mL at 24 hrs interval and 85.2833 ?g/mL, 138.472 ?g/mL 48 hrs interval for ethyl acetate and methanolic extracts, respectively. In adulticidal activity highest mortality rate was obtained in ethyl acetate extract at 92% for the dose of 2 mg/ml after 24 hrs, followed by methanol 74% and hexane 52% leaf extracts. The LC50 values were 0.453 mg/mL, 0.790 mg/mL and 1.294 mg/mL with ethyl acetate, methanol and hexane extracts at 24 hrs interval against Aedes aegypti. In control treatment, no mortality rate was observed. Thus the present study showed the potential application of S. torvum leaf extract in the control of dengue mosquito under the laboratory conditions.

Forecasting Stock Prices of Select Indian Private Sector Banks – A Time Series Approach
Authors: Rawlin Rajveer S. , Raju Pakalapati Satya Surya Narayana
Published: March 2022

Forecasting stock markets and individual stocks has been a well-researched area in the world of finance. Fundamental and technical analysis is widely used by investors in analysing stock prices. Researchers have used various methods to predict stock prices such as Hidden Markov models, genetic algorithms and neural networks (Enke, Grauer, and Mehdiyev, 2011; Hassan, Nath, and Kirley 2007). Time series analysis is used in forecasting asset prices (Long et al, 2021; Eita, 2012). Indian private sector banks are among the best-performing stocks on the Indian stock exchanges over the last decade, as they have consistently captured market share from their public sector counterparts. ARIMA is a useful technique to forecast stock and stock index prices (Box and Jenkins, 1970). This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the ARIMA model in forecasting private bank stock prices in India. Forecasted values differed from actual prices, suggesting markets may be efficient and other variables may also prove to be influential in forecasting Indian private bank stock prices.

Published: March 2022

Economic development is essentially an effort to improve people’s welfare through increasing and promoting equitable distribution of people’s income. The logical consequence of regional development in the current era of globalization is an increasingly sharp level of direct competition in the marketing of goods and services, both in the domestic market and the international market, for all regions in the national territory. The purpose of this study was, first, to analyze the characteristics and level of competitiveness of the regional economy and human resources in districts and cities in West Sumatra. Secondly, we aimed to investigate the relationships between regional economic performance, human resources and typology between regions in West Sumatra. This research used descriptive qualitative and quantitative methods and analyses. To determine the pattern and structure of regional economic growth, the Klassen typology was used. Then to examine the overall ranking of regional economic competitiveness, the average and standard deviation of the main indicator were calculated. The results indicated that the highest economic performance and quality of human resources were in the city of Padang, followed by Bukittinggi, Padang Panjang, Payakumbuh, and Solok. The lowest competitiveness was dominated by regencies such as Solok Selayan, Pesisir Selatan, and the Mentawai Islands. This was also supported by the findings of Klassen’s typology.

Published: March 2022

Prezentowany artykuł jest rozwinięciem zagadnień z zakresu technologii zaczynów uszczelniających dotyczących tzw. procesów żelowania (tj. narastania w zaczynach cementowych statycznej wytrzymałości strukturalnej w trakcie procesu wiązania). W zdecydowanej większości dotychczasowych publikacji w czasopismach naukowych i branżowych omawiano jedynie badania procesów żelowania zaczynów o tzw. normalnej gęstości, wynoszącej około 1800–1900 kg/m3. W niniejszym artykule skoncentrowano się na zagadnieniu narastania statycznej wytrzymałości strukturalnej zaczynów cementowych, których gęstość kształtuje się na poziomie 1450–1600 kg/m3. Analizując badania prowadzone na świecie należy podkreślić, że w procesie przeciwdziałania ewentualnym ekshalacjom gazowym z przestrzeni pierścieniowej tempo żelowania zaczynu cementowego odgrywa niezwykle istotną rolę. Dotyczy to zarówno zaczynów o normalnej, jak i o obniżonej gęstości. Po zabiegu wytłoczenia zaczynu poza rury okładzinowe znajduje się on początkowo w stanie płynnym i działa na złoże jako ciecz (poprzez wytworzone ciśnienie hydrostatyczne). Następnie po określonym czasie w zaczynie następuje budowa statycznej wytrzymałości strukturalnej SGS (ang. static gel strength), co powoduje stopniowy spadek ciśnienia hydrostatycznego. Proces ten trwa aż do momentu związania cementu. W Instytucie Nafty i Gazu – Państwowym Instytucie Badawczym opracowano szereg receptur innowacyjnych zaczynów cementowych o obniżonej gęstości, do których wprowadzono dodatki nanokomponentów oraz polimeru wielkocząsteczkowego. Gęstość zaczynów obniżano za pomocą dodatku różnych koncentracji mikrosfer. Receptury lekkich zaczynów, które zawierały w odpowiedniej koncentracji wielkocząsteczkowy polimer o symbolu GS, a także te zawierające nanokomponenty w postaci n-SiO2 i n-Al2O3 cechowały się bardzo korzystnym przebiegiem krzywej żelowania (tj. szybkim narastaniem statycznej wytrzymałości strukturalnej). Lekkie zaczyny cementowe o najkorzystniejszych parametrach, tj. krótkich czasach przejścia TT (ang. transition time), mogą znaleźć zastosowanie w procesie cementowania kolumn rur okładzinowych w otworach wiertniczych – zwłaszcza w warstwach słabo zwięzłych lub horyzontach o obniżonym gradiencie ciśnienia złożowego.

Polska jest jednym z największych rynków samochodów osobowych w Europie pod względem sprzedaży, zajmując szóste miejsce wśród krajów Unii Europejskiej i Europejskiego Stowarzyszenia Wolnego Handlu. Chociaż we flocie samochodów osobowych w Polsce dominują obecnie samochody z silnikami spalinowymi, kraj jest zaangażowany w zwiększanie liczby i udziału elektrycznych samochodów osobowych. Prawie 12 300 elektrycznych samochodów osobowych jeździło po polskich drogach do czerwca 2020 r. Ponad 56% z nich stanowiły pojazdy elektryczne na baterie (BEV). W niniejszym artykule zebrano informacje dotyczące stosowanych w samochodach elektrycznych systemów zarządzania temperaturą baterii. Przedstawiono sposoby chłodzenia z wykorzystaniem powietrza, czynnika chłodniczego, różnego rodzaju cieczy, materiałów o przemianie fazowej oraz systemu opartego na rurkach cieplnych, a także z zastosowaniem elementu termoelektrycznego. W czasie eksploatacji pojazdów BEV należy zwrócić szczególną uwagę na systemy zarządzania temperaturą baterii. Temperatura baterii wywiera różnorodny wpływ na działanie układu elektrochemicznego, co przekłada się na moc i efektywność energetyczną, bezpieczeństwo i niezawodność oraz koszt i okres użytkowania. W celu zapewnienia długiej żywotności i optymalnej wydajności baterii litowo-jonowych, należy zadbać o optymalny zakres temperatur oraz jednolity rozkład temperatury w pakiecie baterii i ogniwach.
Human Capital Development, Remittances, and Poverty in Central and Eastern European Countries: What Do the Data Tell Us?
Authors: Tsaurai Kunofiwa
Published: March 2022

The study investigates the impact of human capital development on poverty in Central and Eastern European Countries (CEECs) using dynamic generalized methods of moments (GMM), fixed effects, random effects, and pooled ordinary least squares (OLS) with panel data ranging from 2008 to 2019. Using the same panel data analysis methods and data set, the study also explored the influence of the complementarity between human capital development and personal remittances on poverty in CEECs. What triggered the investigation into this topic is that the available literature on the subject matter is mixed, divergent, and very much conflicting. The lag of poverty, remittances, the interaction between human capital development and remittances, trade openness, unemployment, and partly financial development significantly increased infant mortality rates in CEECs. On the other hand, human capital development, infrastructural development, and partly financial development were found to have reduced infant mortality rates. These results mean that human capital development, financial development, and infrastructural development reduced poverty in CEECs during the period under study. Central and Eastern European Countries are therefore urged to craft and implement financial development, infrastructural development, and human capital development enhancement policies to combat poverty. Future empirical research could also investigate at what threshold the level of human capital development, financial and infrastructural development would poverty be significantly reduced in CEECs.
The Inefficiency of the Adjustment Mechanism in the Contemporary Global Economy. The Case of the United States and China
Authors: Janicka Małgorzata
Published: March 2022

In the current international monetary system, the adjustment mechanism does not work properly to eliminate the excessive surpluses/deficits on the current accounts of the major countries that participate in international trade. Consequently, the adjustment changes do not take place in an evolutionary way, through market changes or decisions taken by the national authorities. They are the result of crises that reflect the unfavourable macroeconomic situation in different countries. The article explains the functioning of the adjustment mechanism in the contemporary international monetary system and the circumstances in which significant imbalances emerge at the global (US–China) level. Increasing external imbalances are an immanent systemic feature of the contemporary international monetary system. The lack of an adjustment mechanism in this system leads to the potentially cyclical emergence of such imbalances and their correction by crises. Thus, the current post‑crisis period may only be a stage before the next period of growing imbalances. The remedy for this threat lies in correcting the existing principles of the system.
Overview of EU and Global Conditions for the Transformation of the TCLF Industry on the Way to a Circular and Digital Economy (Case Studies from Poland)
Authors: Dziuba Radosław , Jabłońska Małgorzata , Ławińska Katarzyna , Wysokińska Zofia
Published: March 2022

The article aims to review the changes that have taken place in the European and global TCLF (Textiles‑Clothing‑Leather‑Footwear) sector over the last decade from the perspective of new requirements of pursuing a circular and, especially in recent years, a digital economy. The paper describes the changes in the components of this industry (formerly called the light industry) in the European Union and the world economy in the context of sustainable development requirements and the effects of climate change. Recent European and global programs mainly aim to achieve the circular economy’s strict requirements, including reducing pressure on natural resources, to achieve climate neutrality by the end of 2050. This positive change for our planet is also supported by the pursuit of the development of the digital economy.
National Business Cultures as a System‑forming Factor of the “Lublin Triangle”
Authors: Glinkowska‑Krauze Beata , Chebotarov Viacheslav , Chebotarov Iegor
Published: March 2022

Considering the evolution of the scientific knowledge on the topic the authors define “national business cultures” as a complex interdisciplinary basic phenomenon of modern comparative studies and international entrepreneurship. Using the accepted in the world comparative studies methodology – indicative parameters of national business cultures and considering the authors’ corresponding empirical developments a systematic comparative analysis of the national business cultures of the founding countries of the new cooperation platform in Central and Eastern Europe – the “Lublin Triangle” (Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine) – is carried out. The close similarity and wide complementarity of the national business cultures of these countries are revealed. This is largely predetermined not only by their common, centuries‑old history, but also by a number of other institutional and economic factors, as well as natural conditions. The priority sectors and spheres of integration of the three countries are determined both at the interstate level and at the level of the interaction of their business structures. Implementing this approach will ensure an increase in the competitive positions of Poland, Lithuania, and Ukraine and, as a result, the Lublin Triangle as a whole, in the system of the modern international division of labor. Based on the similarity and complementarity of the national business cultures, a group of other countries of Central and Eastern Europe (Latvia, Estonia, Slovakia, Romania, and Bulgaria) was selected. Under certain conditions, they could also become members of the Lublin Triangle, which would further strengthen and develop the European Union.
Climate Change and Civil-Military Coordination in the Philippines: How climate change disasters will impact aid delivery in areas affected by conflict
Authors: Bollettino Vincenzo , Manzanero Lea Ivy
Published: March 2022

The Philippines is one of the most disaster-prone countries in the world and frequently ranks among the top three countries most impacted by disasters. Ongoing conflict with non-state armed actors results in scenarios where civilians are impacted by both conflict and natural hazards. The result is a situation where civilian relief agencies operate in proximity to the military. We argue that there is an important need for principled civil-military coordination in these contexts to ensure the integrity of security operations to support peace and stability while preserving the independence of humanitarian actors serving crisis-affected populations.

The research reveals significant challenges in protecting the integrity of independence of both military and humanitarian actors in areas impacted by both conflict and disaster and underscores the need for principled humanitarian civil-military coordination to avert threats to both humanitarian aid workers and disaster affected populations. The findings are particularly relevant to South East Asia where the use of military in disaster response is common. The findings also underscore the need for research on the role of militaries in responding to disasters in light of anticipated impacts of climate change.
Análisis biomecánico del lanzamiento con estólica
Authors: Coros Villca Carlos
Published: March 2022

En los últimos años, la medicina basada en la evidencia ha generado la necesidad de cuantificar cualquier movimiento de manera objetiva. Hoy en día, gracias al desarrollo de la electrónica e informática, se han desarrollado nuevas técnicas sobre cómo abordar los estudios biomecánicos. Una de ellas es la fotogrametría 3D. De esta manera, el presente trabajo tiene como objetivo evaluar el gesto técnico de lanzamiento con estólica (atlatl) mediante un análisis biomecánico a través de la herramienta de Fotogrametría 3D y la aplicación bioinformática Ariel Performance Analysis System (APAS 2000 3D), a fin de inferir de esta forma Marcadores de Estrés Musculoesqueléticos implicados en él. Los resultados muestran que los sitios sometidos a mayores solicitaciones son aquellos relacionados con la aceleración del hombro, y por tanto esta articulación es la más comprometida, lo que es concordante con hallazgos similares en ciertos deportes afines y la patología vinculada a lanzamiento. Por ello, se discrepa del término «codo de atlatl» que aún es utilizado por muchos antropólogos y se sugiere ser más cautelosos a la hora de interpretar los patrones de actividad relacionados con este gesto técnico.
Desvelando a cidade noturna pela paisagem, contribuições para a discussão da biodiversidade noturna
Authors: De Albuquerque Ferreira Tatiana , Sá Antunes Costa Lúcia Maria
Published: March 2022

Este artigo se dedica ao estudo da noite, esta outra face da cidade. Quando inter-relacionamos noite e cidade, a definição do noturno se abre em uma diversidade de valores, interpretações e questões. Os sinais do céu noturno traduzidos em formas de linguagem, demonstram como as relações entre o céu e a Terra fizeram parte da nossa construção cultural, mas hoje estas relações são distantes da sociedade contemporânea urbana, como se a noite fosse uma paisagem esquecida, invisibilizada ou até residual. A paisagem ao anoitecer também abriga uma natureza noturna, muitas vezes invisível aos nossos olhos, seja pelas suas próprias características, mas também por nossa falta de compreensão e conhecimento. Isto se reflete na ausência desta dinâmica no planejamento e projeto das cidades, demonstrando lacunas que precisam ser discutidas frente às transformações de valores ambientais e à própria questão ambiental que se impõem como um desafio da metrópole. Desta forma, este artigo visa explicitar - dentre as múltiplas facetas da cidade noturna - a dimensão ambiental que a noite contém, como forma de impulsionar um debate crítico sobre estas discussões na cidade contemporânea. Ao desviar de um olhar predominantemente antropocêntrico para a noite das cidades, buscamos formas de abordagem da cidade noturna, que possam alinhar as dinâmicas da biodiversidade noturna urbana.

As nações originárias na Amazônia lutam para garantir as condições de reprodução da vida, das necessidades materiais às cosmologias ancestrais, subjetiva e sensivelmente corporificadas. As famílias e lideranças da Nação Wampís organizam o Governo Territorial Autônomo da Nação Wampís (GTANW) em resistência à expansão da dominação de agentes econômicos e políticos de diferentes escalas. A construção de experiências sociais como a autonomia wampís nos demonstra seu potencial em estabelecer limites para a destruição da vida nas florestas amazônicas. Se projetam para além de seu território integral sob uma perspectiva global, interessados nas questões da humanidade, animados pela herança ancestral da visão do Tarimat Pujut (vida plena ou bem viver). Este artigo apresenta o contexto histórico dos conflitos e resistências da Nação Wampís na amazônia peruana para defesa e realização de sua autonomia territorial, das práticas cotidianas à organização política formal.

Published: March 2022

Service delivery protests in the recent past demonstrate the dire state of local government in South Africa. The absence of public sector innovation can be linked to service delivery backlogs hence embracing digital innovations (Internet of Things (IoT), Big data and analytics, cloud, Biometrics, computers, mobile applications, 3D machines) in the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) is strategic for enhancing municipal service provision and uplifting the living standards of citizens in communities.  The study utilised an explorative qualitative case study design premised on an extensive literature and document review analysis to examine the barriers facing the City of Tshwane from adopting digital innovations in the 4IR. The analysis of documents revealed digital hesitancy, leadership void, lack of innovative research culture, weak municipal preparedness, and digital divide in adopting digital innovations are barriers to digital innovation adoption to enhance service delivery. The paper observes further the lack of systematic and evaluative studies to inform public sector innovation, or growth in digital innovations often led to implementation challenges in the City of Tshwane. Conclusions drawn for the article revealed that adopting digital innovations can be the panacea to accelerating urban service delivery in the City of Tshwane; hence institutional readiness, improved revenue streams, including a stable regulatory and policy environment, are imperatives in achieving a digitalised local government in the 4IR.

Authors: Denhere Varaidzo
Published: March 2022

This research aims to explore the extent of COVID-19 reporting by the banking sector in a developing economy after the 2020 experience in the absence of known pandemic standards. The subject of this research is the 2021 top six banks from South Africa, a country classified as a developing economy. An unobtrusive research method was employed. Data were collected from the banks’ integrated reports for 2020/2021 depending on the banks’ financial year period. Document analysis was done and a technique of counting and recording the number of mentions for each COVID-19 content or capital category was employed. Findings indicated that Standard Bank, which was ranked top of the six, took the lead in the extent of COVID-19 reporting based on a recently suggested reporting framework that has not yet been contrasted by the rest of the researchers. A correlation analysis showed a significant positive relationship between the bank size and the extent of COVID-19 disclosure by the sampled banks. The study indicated that the top South African banks significantly reported on the COVID-19 pandemic despite the absence of guiding reporting standards. However, there is a need for another study to develop an index that will show different levels of disclosure extent.
Determinants of lending behaviour of commercial banks in Tanzania
Authors: Makanile David , Dickson Pastory
Published: March 2022

This paper assesses the determinants of the lending of six commercial banks in Tanzania from 2015 to 2019 using a quantitative research design. The data were collected from Annual Reports of the six commercial banks. The results show that liquidity and capital adequacies have a significant relationship with lending, whereas interest rate and management efficiency have no statistically significant influence on lending. Thus, effective policies should be developed to ensure commercial banks grow and be able to advance more credit. Additionally, the banking sector needs to prioritize increasing the liquidity ratio to ultimately strengthen the bank's financial position. Furthermore, commercial banks should be more innovative in their lending since different sectors present different risk profiles. Lastly, Commercial banks management needs to employ capital growth strategies to enhance the banks’ capital conservation buffer that requires banks to build up extra buffers outside periods of stress.
