In this paper the concept of total gross seigniorage is used to analyze sources of revenues of National Bank of Georgia (NBG) and their distribution in the period 1996-1999. A comprehensive framework for measuring total seigniorage and its main components is presented and estimates of seigniorage revenues (sources and uses) are computed and analyzed. It is shown that in the considered period fiscal revenues from NBG have not been extensively financed by the money supply (consequently, cannot be estimated by the monetary seigniorage), but have been mostly covered by the reduction of the non government debt hold by central bank. Since the stock of international and private domestic assets hold by National Bank of Georgia is limited, in long run NBG cannot rely on it. The only way how, in the future, NBG can finance large deficits of the state budget is to use monetary seigniorage. This, however, will have to be accompanied by significant growth of monetary base and will cause a danger of large inflation.

After stabilization in 1993 Moldova maintained an unsustainable macroeconomic policy mix. The key problem was a lack of a fiscal adjustment, which resulted in large budget deficits. At the same time, the National Bank of Moldova (NBM) attempted to conduct a tight monetary policy. As a result, the exchange rate was appreciating, domestic absorption increasingly exceeded income and the country has been running large Current Account deficits. Moldova had an access to international financial markets and its indebtedness vs. the rest of the world was growing year by year at an alarming rate. Finally, in late 1998 Moldova suffered a balance of payments crisis, directly triggered by developments in Russia. Moldovan leu was devalued by about 70% and the current account improved.
The paper concentrates on the empirical dimension of the Moldovan financial crisis. It provides a case study of a) detecting and interpreting macroeconomic anomalies and b) identification of early warning signals of policy unsustainability and imminent change of financial market sentiment.

We examined Hong Kong's fiscal and monetary policies to revive its GDP growth rate and to reduce its unemployment rate following the 2008 financial crisis.
When Victor Yanukovich won Ukraine’s presidential election in February 2010, it marked the official end of the Orange Revolution. Soon after taking office, Yanukovich managed to form a loyal parliamentary coalition in a legally dubious way and, consequently, appointed his ally Mykola Azarov as Prime Minister. Indeed this decision may have made state governance more predictable and even provided for shortterm economic stability, but it may have come at the expense of Ukraine’s democratic freedom and long-term economic prospects.

Current State of the Indian Economy
Cautious optimism for the future
February 2013

The Big Picture
The Indian Economy has experienced
its worst slowdown in nearly a decade
on the back of global contractionary
headwinds, domestic macro-economic
imbalances and policy reversals on the
fiscal front, 2012 has been a challenging
year for the economy. The year started
with news that the previous fiscal’s
fourth quarter GDP had dropped to
5.5%. That coupled with low growth,
macro-economic issues such as high
fiscal deficit, expansionary subsidies and
worsening current account balance has
added to the slowdown.
The 2011-12 Budget had proposed
to amend the 1961 income tax
law by introducing retrospective
tax adjustments and General Anti-
Avoidance Rules (GAAR). These steps
were viewed negatively by foreign
investors. Subsequent downgrading
of the Indian economic outlook from
‘stable’ to ‘negative’ by a major rating
agency, led to continued downward
pressure on the investment climate.
Additionally, as fiscal conditions
worsened over the year, export
numbers were revised in light of data
discrepancies leading to a widening of
the current account deficit.
In the second half of the fiscal, the
Government proactively intervened
with phased reforms to stabilize the
economy. Measures were taken to
reduce subsidies (oil, fertilizers) which
would in turn lower the fiscal deficit.
The Government also took concrete
actions to attract foreign direct
investment (FDI) and strengthen the
rupee. However, the impact of these
policy reforms remains uncertain in
the short term. Concerns continue
to exist over the current account
deficit scenario, prevailing supply side
constraints, inadequate infrastructure
investments and long term policy
directions.
In face of a perceivably weak macro-
economic climate, a well-planned
economic revival policy is required to
steer the Indian Economy back on the
growth path. Even though the long
term prospects of the economy look
promising, cautious optimism is the
tone in the short to medium term.
Global Linkages
Performances of advanced economies
continue to weigh on India’s growth
story.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

10.12.2012, ADB: Outlook for the Mongolian Economy, Jan Hansen and Enerelt Enkhbold
1. 1
Presentation by the Asian Development Bank at the Business Council of Mongolia
Monthly Meeting on 10 December 2012
By Enerelt Enkhbold, Associate Investment Officer and Jan Hansen, Senior Country Economist
Selected Issues on the Economic Outlook for the Mongolian Economy
The global economic slowdown is increasing the vulnerability of the Mongolian economy.
Deteriorating global economic conditions, in particular the slowdown in the People’s Republic of
China (PRC), have negatively impacted exports resulting in a deterioration of overall economic
growth and external balances of the Mongolian economy. Economic growth fell from 20.0% (y-
o-y) in the fourth quarter of 2011 to 16.5% in the first quarter of 2012, 11.0% in the second
quarter and 5.6% in the third quarter of 2012. For the first three quarters of 2012, annual
economic growth was 10.2%. Exports (in current prices) fell by 2.2% (y-o-y) during the first 10
months of 2012, while import growth slowed to 7.2%. Both annual export and import growth fell
over the year and were -39.3% and -7.7% (y-o-y) in September 2012, while export strongly
recovered in October. Notwithstanding the weakening global economy, GDP is forecast to grow
by 10% in 2012 and 12% in 2013 when commercial production from the Oyu Tolgoi mine is
scheduled to begin.
The balance-of-payment (BOP) is increasingly coming under pressure due to strong domestic
demand; decelerating export growth; and slowing foreign direct investment (FDI). During the
first 10 months of the year, the current account deficit increased by 42% to around US$ 2.6
billion, while FDI increased by 3.4% to about US$ 3.4 billion. This means that the basic balance,
i.e. the sum of the current account balance and FDI is still positive, but rapidly falling. The
current account deficit was about 32% of GDP in 2011.
The increasing trade and current account deficit is putting pressure on the togrog. The togrog
depreciated against the US$ by around 8% since April to about MNT 1,400 at the end of last
week. The Bank of Mongolia (BOM) is intervening in the foreign exchange market to limit the
togrog’s depreciation by supplying US$ and CNY. BOP pressures have mostly been reflected in
a decline in Mongolia’s net international reserves which have declined by one third to a two-year
low of US$1.5 billion. The effect of the BOP pressures on gross international reserves has been
offset by BOM drawings on the swap line with the People’s Bank of China and BOM deposit
taking from the Development Bank of Mongolia (DBM). Gross international reserves remain near
2. 2
an all-time high of US$2.6 billion (corresponding to about 7 months of prospective non-mining
imports), while the share of borrowed reserves has risen significantly.
Fiscal policy remained pro-cyclical in 2012. The initial government budget projected revenue to
rise by about 40% and expenditure by about 32% and a budget deficit of 1% of GDP. However,
government spending growth has outpaced revenue growth, resulting in an increasing fiscal
deficit. Government expenditure was 37.7% higher in October 2012 (year to date, YTD, basis).
Revenues have failed to grow at the same pace, rising by only 14.2% over the same time period
due to shortfalls in VAT and customs duties. This has flipped the fiscal balance on a cash basis
into a deficit of MNT 554 billion from a surplus of MNT 190 billion in the same period of 2011.
(The budget deficit in 2011 was MNT 529 billion, or 4.8% of GDP). In October 2012, the Fiscal
Stabilization Fund held MNT 270 billion which corresponds to about 2.4% of last years’ GDP.
In mid-September 2012, Parliament amended the budget by cutting the revenue estimate by
10.6%, while the expenditure estimate was cut by 1.8%. The extrapolation of the previous years’
favorable revenue trends in the 2012 initial and supplementary budget does not take into
account the weak collection of VAT and customs duties related to the deceleration of capital
goods imports for the OT mining project in 2012. The government deficit in the supplementary
budget for 2012 was revised to 4.2% of GDP. Meanwhile, the IMF is expecting a cash deficit of
5.2% and a structural deficit of 6.0% of GDP for 2012.
The 2013 budget foresees overall revenue growth of 28%, expenditure growth of 17% and a
budget deficit of 4.8% (cash) and 2% (structural) – formally complying with the Fiscal Stability
Law (FSL). The budget is based on reasonable assumptions regarding economic growth (30%),
but takes the very optimistic revenue projections from the 2012 supplementary budget as a
starting point, setting the stage for a potential revenue shortfall. Moreover, the budget includes
MNT 445 billion (6.3% of overall revenues) revenue that is predicated on the renegotiation of
the OT investment agreement. The outcome and timing of this renegotiation, and hence the
expected additional revenue, are highly uncertain. The government may have to undertake a
very substantial amount of fiscal tightening to comply with the FSL next year.
Off-budget spending by the Development Bank of Mongolia (DBM) is adding to demand
pressures and undermining the integrity and meaningfulness of the FSL. The international bond
issuance earlier this year has put the bank in a position to spend up to 6% of GDP. Off-budget
3. 3
spending by the DBM on public investment projects should be taken into account when
determining the macro-economically sustainable level of government spending. A clear policy
needs to be drawn up to ensure that the DBM can help meet the long-term infrastructure needs
of Mongolia in a macro-economically sustainable manner.
Mongolia’s public debt as of the third quarter of 2012 stood at US$ 2.4 billion, which includes
external debt of US$ 1.9 billion and internal debt of US$ 436 million as reported by the Ministry
of Finance. This corresponds to a ratio of 24.2% of GDP. The government plans to issue US$ 5
billion in bonds in the international financial markets, of which US$ 1.5 billion was sold on 28
November 2012. Including the recent issuance of government bonds, the public debt ratio
currently stands at about 40% of GDP. According to the IMF/World Bank Debt Sustainability
Analysis (DSA) 2012, the public debt to GDP ratio is estimated at 56.7 percent in 2012. The
World Bank and IMF apply a wider definition of public debt, including contingent liabilities as the
DBM bonds amounting to US$ 580 million. The 2012 DSA suggests that Mongolia’s risk of debt
distress remains low. However, the 2012 DSA does not include the recent international bond
issue.
Inflation picked up further in 2012 and was 15.0% in October. Price pressures are likely to
continue given strong demand and the two stage increase in pensions and civil servant wages
implemented in the first half of 2012. The ADB projection for inflation is 15% in 2012 and 12% in
2013.
Economic policy need to be set against the continued uncertainties in the global economic
outlook. Further significant falls in global commodity prices would severely impact on Mongolia’s
economy, while putting strong pressure on public finances and current account position. One
major risk is significant weaker growth momentum in the economy of the PRC and further
significant falls in global commodity prices.
The main priority for economic policy is to restrain fiscal spending to contain the fiscal deficit,
ensure funding for core government expenditure. Fiscal policy has been pro-cyclical in the past
years and did not create sufficient reserves which could be used to support public spending and
stimulate aggregate demand in case of a further slowdown of the economy. It is critical that the
FSL will be implemented and complied with, while off-budget spending by the DBM should be
taken into account when determining the macro-economically sustainable level of government
4. 4
spending. Instead of implementing universal social welfare benefits as the proposed re-
introduction of the Child Money Program which are fiscally expensive and have limited effects
on poverty reduction, the amended Social Welfare Law should be implemented through
introduction of a targeted poverty benefit. Recent monetary policy tightening helped to contain
inflationary pressures, but may need to be further tightened if inflationary pressure remains high.
In case of a further slowdown of the economy, monetary policy can be eased to stimulate
aggregate demand.
BOM should consistently implement its monetary policy framework based on inflation targeting
and a managed floating exchange rate. The flexible exchange rate is a crucial adjustment
mechanism to stabilize the real economy in case of further commodity price and related
economic and financial shocks. For example, a depreciation of the exchange rate due to less
export revenue from mining sector because of lower coal prices will lower labor costs, improve
competitiveness and increase production in other industries of the economy. Defending an
overvalued exchange rate, on the other side, will lead to falling currency reserves and may
eventually trigger a foreign exchange crises.
