Item Restricted “Exploring the Macroeconomic Implications of CBDCs”(Brunel University, 2024-09-05) Alnughaymishi, Saleh Mohammed; Korotana, MohammedThis dissertation examines the potential macroeconomic implications of CBDC adoption, focusing on monetary policy, financial stability, and economic growth. A comprehensive literature review explores the historical evolution of money and digital currencies, analysing various CBDC models and design choices. The study delves into the potential impacts of CBDCs on monetary policy transmission mechanisms and financial stability, while also considering the technological and operational challenges associated with their implementation. The dissertation provides a detailed analysis of the UK's legislative framework concerning CBDCs, including an overview of current financial legislation, proposed regulatory changes, and the role of the Bank of England. Comparative analyses with other jurisdictions offer a broader perspective on global regulatory approaches. Empirical analysis1 and case studies of CBDC implementations provide practical insights into the real-world implications of these digital currencies. Based on these findings, the dissertation presents policy recommendations for central banks, governments, financial institutions2, and technology providers to effectively navigate the challenges and opportunities presented by CBDCs.35 0Item Restricted How Inflation Affects Productivity in Oil and Non-Oil Economies? (Comparative Study between Saudi Arabia and United Kingdom)(University of Essex, 2024) Alamer, Abdullah; Reisinezhad, ArshamThis study empirically analyses the relationship between total factor productivity (TFP) and inflation for the period 1989-2019 in an oil producing country (Saudi Arabia) and non-oil country (UK) to understand how the relationship is different in different economic contexts. The study employed ARDL Bound testing approach with GDP growth, unemployment and crude oil prices as control variables. The study found that in both Saudi Arabia and UK inflation has a negative impact on productivity and vice versa, however the relationship is significant in UK but not Saudi Arabia. TFP and inflation have a causal relationship with each other in both oil and non-oil countries. Policymakers should focus on economic diversification strategies in oil-dependent countries and adopt policies to enhance productivity through sustainable energy resources in non-oil countries to mitigate the impact of inflation on productivity.12 0Item Restricted Saudi Stock Market Under Vision 2030: The Economic Factors at Play(University of Sussex, 2024) ALmuhaisen, Fahad; Pelkonen, PanuThis research provides an in-depth analysis of the relationship between macroeconomic variables and the performance of the Saudi stock market, mainly (TASI) the Tadawul All Share Index within the context of Saudi Vision 2030. Using monthly data covering between January 2017 to December 2023, the study addresses the influence of inflation, interest rate on deposits, oil price, and foreign exchange reserve on the TASI index. Understanding how these macroeconomic factors impact the TASI will be useful for Saudi Arabian policymakers and investors, enabling more informed decisions and reduced risk exposure. The research utilizes the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) framework for conducting the analysis. and discovers that the short- and long-term positive relationship between the price of oil and TASI is substantial, highlighting their continued influence on the Saudi stock market despite economic diversification efforts. Other variables like foreign exchange reserves, inflation, and interest rates show no significant long-term nor short impact on TASI. The study highlights the stability of the model parameters and the non existence of heteroskedasticity, autocorrelation, and omitted variables, offering valuable insights for paunderstanding market dynamics and guiding financial decision making in Saudi Arabia.42 0
