Despite significant economic reforms in many Southern Mediterranean EU neighbour countries, their growth performance has on average been subdued. This study analyses the differences in growth performance and macroeconomic stability across Mediterranean countries, to draw lessons for the future. The main findings are that Southern Mediterranean countries should benefit from closer ties with the EU that result in higher levels of trade and FDI inflows, once the turbulence of the ‘Arab Spring’ is resolved, and from the development of financial markets and infrastructure. They will also benefit in keeping inflation under control, which will depend in great part on their ability to maintain fiscal discipline and sustainable current accounts. One of the main challenges for the region will be to implement structural reforms that can help them absorb a large pool of unemployed without creating upward risks to inflation.

What is the Gold Monetisation Scheme?
The Gold Monetisation Scheme launched by the RBI is another attempt to curb the import
demands from the country and thus cut the current account deficits forIndia, as gold imports
constitute a significant chunk. Find out the rise and fall of gold, and the advantages and
disadvantages of the Gold Monetisation Scheme below:
The Gold Monetisation Scheme, proposed in this year’s budget, would enable depositors, such as
households and jewellers to open metal deposits with banks, place their gold holdings in them,
earn interests on the gold deposits and if needed, borrow money from it.
The scheme also intends to circulate the stashed unproductive gold in the economy, estimated at
around 20,000 tons, by pulling it out of domestic safes and lending it out.
