The Long Run Effect of Interest Rate and Money Supply on Petroleum Profit Tax...iosrjce
The study empirically examined the effect of interest rate and money supply on petroleum profit tax
(PET) in Nigeria. The study employed annual time series data from 1980 to 2013 collected from various issues
of Central Bank of Nigeria’s Statistical Bulletin. An Error Correction Mechanism (ECM) Model was adopted in
the analyses of the interaction among interest rate and money supply on petroleum profit tax. The granger
causality pairwise test was also conducted in determining the causal relationship among the variables. The
empirical results showed that, there was unidirectional causality between money supply and PET, money supply
has positive effect on PET in the short run but negative effect in the long run with (t=-1.35 , P<0.05)>0.05) respectively.

Presentation to the US-South African Women's Business Forum Chicago by Pumla Ncapayi, Department of Trade and Industry Deputy Director General for Trade and Investment October 24, 2011
The April 2018 Africa Market Update covers the economies of Nigeria, Zambia, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda. This issue focuses on, among others, the challenges facing Nigeria's monetary policy environment as peer economies unwind the tightening cycle that dominated the past three years.
We are pleased to release the November 2018 Africa Market Update covering the economies of Zambia, Nigeria, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda. This issue is significant for two reasons - one, with Nigeria's general election slated for February 19th, 2019, this issue delves deep in assessing the political risk profile and how the private sector perceives risk in view of the forthcoming poll. Two, November 2018 will be characterized by Monetary Policy Committee meetings in a number of economies in the region including Kenya, Nigeria and Zambia. As such, this issue takes a look at the underlying monetary environment especially with inflation and foreign exchange pressures surging across the region.
Corporate Tax Reforms in Pakistan
Tax policy plays an important part in inclusive growth, incomes and wealth redistribution. Owing to a narrow tax base in Pakistan, the ability of taxes to alter distribution of incomes in favour of the poorest income quintiles has been limited. This paper specifically makes a case where private sector has been realizing anticipated profits however their rising incomes did not result in progressive changes in tax contribution. The ability of tax administrative machinery to check evasion has also remained weak.
Another important matter is how a distortive tax policy is preventing entry of new firms and investments which can potentially create greater competition and enhance consumer surplus. Since 2007 Pakistan’s economy has been witnessing low levels of investment. Despite low interest rates, the private sector credit has not picked up. The exports have declined during a period when Pakistan enjoys preferential market access from the European Union and the United States. While large firms operating domestically continue to growth, the survival and growth of new firms is weak.
According to several recent studies, part of the answer to this problem may lies in the way taxes are helping cartelization through exemptions and preferences in the direct (corporate) tax structure. We discuss this view in the light of recent tax directory published by the Federal Board of Revenue. Making use of the key informant interviews and focus group discussions involving the business community, tax officials, trade and consumer associations, we present some recommendations for the reform of corporate taxation in Pakistan.

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.
