Effects of Government Expenditure on Foreign Exchange Reserves: Evidence for Namibia
Authors: Manuel Victoria , Mbazima-Lando Daisy , Naimhwaka Erwin 
Published: January 2023

The study empirically investigated the effects of government expenditure on FX reserves in Namibia. Using quarterly data, the study applied the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) cointegration technique to examine the relationship between FX reserves and government expenditure, the exchange rate, external borrowing, current account balance and M2 over the period ranging from 2002 to 2020. The results show that an increase in government expenditure reduces FX reserves. Furthermore, increase in foreign debt, current account balance and M2 increases the level of FX reserves, while an appreciation of the effective exchange rate reduces FX reserves. The study, therefore, concludes that high government expenditure and increase in foreign borrowing impacts FX reserves. These findings suggest that developments in government expenditure may hinder monetary policy effectiveness. Based on these findings, the study recommends the continuation of fiscal consolidation to reduce fiscal deficits and government debt. Similarly, it is important to ensure macroeconomic balance and appropriate coordination between fiscal and monetary policies.
Real Exchange Rate of Moroccan Currency: Appreciated or Depreciated?
Authors: Lezar Mohammed Amine 
Published: January 2023

In this paper, we measure and evaluate the real parity of the Moroccan dirham during the period 1980-2020. The objective is to highlight the evolution of the real exchange rate of the dirham, and in particular to show if whether it has been overvalued against currencies of the main trading partners and competitors of Morocco. Contrary to many studies which used a simple method to calculate the real parity which consisted of assigning each country of the main trading partners a relative weight equivalent to its share in Morocco's external trade, we calculate the weights by combining both bilateral import weights and a double weighting for export to reflect both importance of each country in Morocco's import and export as well as the degree of competition of exporters in usual third markets. Calculation of real parity of the dirham reveals three main periods: a strong depreciation during 1980-1990; an appreciation during the period 1991-2000; and a resumption of a weaker depreciation for the last period (2001-2020). These trends are related to both changes in nominal effective exchange rate and in relative prices. Results obtained in the present paper are generally close to those calculated by the International Monetary Fund for Morocco and are strongly correlated with them and the trends in both remain the same.

Published: January 2023

South Africa faces many socio-economic challenges, which include sluggish economic growth, increasing unemployment rates, increasing inequality, and high poverty levels., This paper focused on examining how spatial inequality causes these socio-economic issues. The main thrust of the paper is to briefly investigate two major aspects, firstly the root cause of spatial inequality in South Africa, and secondly the impact that spatial inequality has on socio-economic indicators such as economic inequality, poverty, and employment levels. This research used a mixed methodology approach. Empirical research findings proved that apartheid policies contributed to high levels of poverty and inequality in South Africa. As the empirical results show, the existing inequalities in South Africa are predominantly based on a racial sub-group basis, which confirms the causal relationship with historic apartheid spatial policies enforced on a racial basis. Primary research findings depicted that the post-apartheid era is characterised by high poverty levels and huge inequality with the bulk of blacks exposed to diverse macro-economic challenges. Policy recommendation-wise, it was suggested that the government should continue to redress the systems of apartheid and use policies that help to eradicate poverty.
Do Payment Technology Innovations Affect Currency Demand in Tunisia?
Authors: Mbazia Nadia 
Published: January 2023

This study investigates the impact of non-cash payment technologies on demand for currency in Tunisia using the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) cointegration approach from 2010M12 to 2018M7. In this context, our findings indicate a negative influence of EFT-POS terminals on currency demand. We have also shown that the demand for currency is positively influenced by the increase in the number of ATMs and the volume of transactions made by bank cards in circulation, reflecting the frequent use of cards to receive cash in Tunisia. Whereas, the impact of increase in check payments on demand for currency is negative and not significant. The empirical evidence shows that there is preference for cash in payment habits by Tunisian consumers. So, it should be noted that despite the development of payment systems, cash still attractive and an easier substitute for non-cash payments in Tunisia.
