y Levelofwelfareisassumedasalivingstandard
y A living standard of the people can be measured by the
basic need. If the basic need is improved, it can be said
thatthelivingstandardofthepeopleisimproved.

I.Considerationonthefactorsofeconomic

y Buttofindoutthelevelofthelivingstandarditisverydifficult,
because it depends from the Country to the Country and from
the region to the region due to the economic, geographical and
cultural differentiation, the behavior and the livings style of
thosepeople.
y It means that it doesnt have the common value from the
Country to the Country and from the region to the region
regardingtothelevelofthelivingstandard.
y Therefore, it is very difficultly to have common value taking to
demonstrate in determining the Countries group in the world,
which are a group of LDC, Developing Country or Developed
Country.

Government intervention & factors
influenced
y Supply and demand for any given currency, and
thus its value, are not influenced by any single
element, but rather by several. These elements
generally fall into three categories:
y Economic factors,
y Political conditions and
y Market psychology.
Economic factors
These include:
1. Economic policy comprises:
Government fiscal policy (budget/spending practices) and
monetary policy (the means by which a government's
central bank influences the supply and "cost" of money,
which is reflected by the level of interest rates).
2. Economic conditions include:
Government budget deficits or surpluses
Relative interest rates
Changes in relative inflation rates
The demand for imports
The demand for exports
Investment opportunities
Speculative sentiments
Global trading patterns

When income rises in a small open economy, due to
the fiscal expansion, the interest rate tries to rise but
capital inflows from abroad put downward pressure
on the interest rate.This inflow causes an increase in
the demand for the currency pushing up its value
and thus making domestic goods more expensive
to foreigners (causing a NX). The NX offsets
the expansionary fiscal policy and the effect on Y.

When the increase in the money supply puts downward
pressure on the domestic interest rate, capital flows out
as investors seek a higher return elsewhere. The capital
outflow prevents the interest rate from falling. The
outflow also causes the exchange rate to depreciate
making domestic goods less expensive relative to
foreign goods, and stimulates NX. Hence, monetary
policy influences the e rather than r.

Political conditions
Internal, regional, and international political conditions and events can
have a profound effect on currency markets.
All exchange rates are susceptible to political instability and
anticipations about the new ruling party. Political turmoil and
instability can have a negative impact on a nation's economy. For
example, destabilization of coalition governments in Pakistan and
Thailand can negatively affect the value of their currencies.
Similarly, in a country experiencing financial difficulties, the rise of a
political faction that is seeming to be fiscally responsible can have the
opposite effect.
Also, events in one country in a region may spur positive or negative
interest in a neighbouring country and, in the process, affect its
currency.
Market psychology
Market psychology and trader perceptions influence the
foreign exchange market in a variety of ways:
Flights to quality
Long-term trends
"Buy the rumor, sell the fact"
Economic numbers
Technical trading considerations

ImportanceofMonetaryPolicy
ImportanceofMonetaryPolicy
Gross National Product (GNP) = C + I + G + X
Where: C = Private Consumption expenditure
I = Private Investment Expenditure
G = Government Expenditure
X = Net Exports
C, I, X can be influenced by the monetary policy which can also influence
the private consumption and investment spending and exports and
imports.
The Government and the Central Bank (i.e., RBI) make use of various
fiscal and monetary weapons respectively to achieve stability and growth
by influencing and regulating the behavior of the various classes of
spenders as savers, consumers and investors.
These policies can influence the aggregate supply and demand and the
associated level of employment, wages, interest, rent, price and profit.
MonetaryPolicy
MonetaryPolicy
Monetary Policy refers to the use of instrument within the control of
the Central Bank to the influence the level of aggregate demand for the
goods and services or to influence in certain sector of the economy.
Monetary policy operates through varying the cost and availability of
credit.
The modern economy is regarded as a credit economy in sense that
credit forms the basis of most of the economic activities in such an
economy.
The level and nature of economic activities such an economy are
influenced by the cost and availability of the credit.
IS*: Y=C(Y-T) + I(r*) + G + NX(e)
LM*: M/P=L (r*,Y)
Recall the two equations of the Mundell-Fleming model:
e

When the price level falls the LM*
curve shifts to the right. The
equilibrium level of income rises.
The second graph displays the
negative relationship between P and
Y, which is summarized by the
aggregate demand curve.

MeasuresofMoneyStock
MeasuresofMoneyStock
Reserve Bank of India employs FOUR measures of money stock, namely M1,
M2, M3, M4
M1 : The measure of money stock designed by M1 is usually described as the
money supply. The components of money supply are currency with the public
(i.e., notes in circulation, circulation of rupee coins and circulation of small
coins) and deposits (demand deposits with banks and other deposits with the
RBI).
M2 : M2 is M1 + Post Office Savings Bank Deposits.
M3 : M3 is M1 + Time Deposits with the banks. In other words, M3 is money
supply plus fixed deposits with the banks. M3 is usually referred to as
aggregate monetary resources.
M4 : M4 is M3 plus the total Post Office Deposits.

FISCALPOLICYCHOICES
1. Expansionary fiscal policy: used to combat a
recession.
2. Contractionary fiscal policy: used to combat
demandpullinflation,duetoexcessspending.
EXPANSIONARYFISCALPOLICY
Expansionary Policy needed: a decline in investment has
decreasedAD,sorealGDPhasfallen,andalsoemploymenthas
declined.Apossiblefiscalsolutionmaybe:
a.Anincreaseingovernmentspending,whichshiftsADtothe
rightbymorethanthechangeinG,duetothemultiplier.
b.Adecreaseintaxes(raisesincome,andconsumptionrisesby
MPC times the change in income). AD shifts to the right by a
multipleofthechangeinconsumption.
c.AcombinationofincreasedGspendingandreducedtaxes.
d. If the budget was initially balanced, expansionary fiscal
policycreatesabudgetdeficit.
CONTRACTIONARYFISCALPOLICY
Contractionary Policy needed: When demandpull inflation
occurs,ashiftofADtotherightintheverticalrangeofAS,then
contractionary policyistheremedy.
a. A decrease in G spending shifts AD back left, once the
multiplier process is complete. Here price level returns to its
preinflationary level, but GDP remains at fullemployment
level.
b. An increase in taxes will reduce income, and then
consumptionatfirstbytheMPCtimesthedecreaseinincome,
and then the multiplier process leads AD to shift leftward still
further.
c.AcombinedGspendingdecreaseandtaxincreasecouldhave
thesameeffectwiththerightcombination.
d. If the budget was initially balanced, a contractionary fiscal
policycreatesabudgetsurplus.
FINANCINGDEFICITS
The method used to finance deficits or dispose of surpluses
influencesfiscalpolicy:
A. Financingdeficitscanbedone2ways:
1. Borrowing: (crowding out effect) The government
competes with private borrowers for funds, and could drive
up interest rates; the government may crowd out private
borrowing,andthisoffsetsthegovernmentexpansion.
2.MoneyCreation: When the Federal Reserve loans
directlytothegovernmentbybuyingbonds,theexpansionary
effect is greater since private investors are not buying bonds.
(Monetarists argue that this is monetary, not fiscal, policy
thatishavingtheexpansionaryeffectinthissituation).
DISPOSINGOFSURPLUSES
B.Disposingofsurplusescanbedonein2ways:
1. Debt reduction is good, but may cause interest
ratestofallandstimulatespending,whichcouldthen
beinflationary.
2. Impounding or hiring the surplus funds remain
idlewouldhavegreaterantiinflationaryimpact.The
government holds surplus tax revenues which keeps
thesefundsfrombeingspent.
POLICYOPTIONS:GORT?
y Economists have mixed views aboutwhether to use
government spending or tax changes to promote
stability, depending on their view of the
government:
1. If economists are concerned about unmet social
needs or infrastructure, they tend to favor higher
government spending during recessions and higher
taxesduringinflationarytimes.
2. When economists think that government is too
largeorinefficient,theytendtofavorlowertaxesfor
recessions and lower government spending during
inflationaryperiods.
