The Bulgarian Financial Crisis of 1996–1997: A Crisis of Transition

Essay from the year 2009 in the subject Economics - Economic Cycle and Growth, grade: A, Central European University Budapest, language: English, abstract: Since the fall of communism in the end of 1989 Bulgaria has been experiencing severe economic difficulties. In 1996 the problems of the country’s transition culminated in one of the most severe banking and currency crises in Eastern Europe – the Bulgarian financial crisis of 1996-1997. The main objectives of this paper are to outline the structural vulnerabilities that led to the crisis, to identify the key characteristics of the “twin” crisis and to analyze the rent-seeking nature of Bulgarian transition. I will argue that the crisis was an outcome of a moral hazard problem in the Bulgarian economic agents’ behavior and the inadequate and unsustainable policies of the government in the period 1990-1997. The legacies of state-controlled economy were too slow to be overthrown and structural reforms were by and large not implemented up until 1997.

Restructuring, Stabilizing and Modernizing the New Russia High quality books Restructuring, Stabilizing and Modernizing the New Russia By:Paul J. J. Welfens Published on 2000 by Springer Science & Business Media Russia has embarked upon a difficult process of systemic transformation and economic opening up. While the initial strong GDP decline seemed to have ended in 1997, the real development was facing even more difficult problems as output declined sharply after the Ruble and banking crisis of August 1998: inflation started to increase again, exports and imports were falling, capital flight increasing and unemployment rising. There is broad disappointment in Russia regarding the transformation failure in 1998 since so many people had hoped that the end of the Soviet command economy would bring democracy, prosperity and international integration. While Poland has been able to double per capita income in the 1990s it has fallen by 50% in Russia and this despite considerable IMF in

Jimmy Carter and the Horn of Africa High quality books Jimmy Carter and the Horn of Africa By:Donna R. Jackson Published on 2015-02-12 by McFarland When Jimmy Carter ascended to the U.S. presidency in 1977, he stepped into an office still struggling with the aftermath of the Vietnam War and the Watergate scandal. As president, he had to administer his foreign policy and fight the Cold War within the limits imposed by both. With the option of traditional military recourse essentially closed to Carter, he redirected American foreign policy to challenge the Soviet Union on a moral level, emphasizing regionalism and human rights. A careful examination of his policy shows that his approach was similar in other parts of the world. Particularly representative were his actions in Ethiopia and Somalia. This analysis of President Carter’s foreign policy in the Horn of Africa demonstrates Carter’s consistent approach to foreign affairs throughout his administration. It follows the president’s del

Rebalancing Economies in Financially Integrating East Asia High quality books Rebalancing Economies in Financially Integrating East Asia By:Jenny Corbett,Ying Xu Published on 2014-11-13 by Routledge Since the Asian Financial Crisis (AFC) of 1997–98 large current account surpluses have accumulated in the countries of Asia and the Pacific with corresponding deficits elsewhere. The sharp plunge in global trade volumes during the global financial crisis has highlighted the need for ‘rebalancing’–focussing more on domestic sources of economic growth than on exports in some Asian economies. One key objective of the book is to elucidate the economic structures and policies that give rise to current account surpluses and imbalances and consider what policy adjustments could change them. Another objective is to show the link between financial systems, financial integration and the transmission of economic shocks between countries. The book offers new dimensions to understand ‘rebalancing’ and p
