The financial system in Jamaica has been the subject of much attention since the news broke of the alleged fraud at Stocks and Securities Limited (SSL). The governor of the Bank of Jamaica (BOJ) has been fielding calls from concerned investors, international financial institutions, and even other regional regulators concerning the impact of this situation and the negative media reporting would have on the stability of the financial system in Jamaica and the Caribbean region.The governor would like to preserve confidence in the financial markets and institutions and has decided to embark on a series of educational “road-shows” where he will address targeted stakeholders such as the American Chamber of Commerce (AMCHAM), investor groups and the media.In this regard, the governor has assigned your team of senior professionals employed at the Bank of Jamaica to prepare a presentation slide deck for his address.

Fed Cuts Key Interest Rate Again Washington, DC—Alarmed by the rapidly weakening economy, the Federal Reserve cut a key interest rate again yesterday. The Fed cut the discount rate, dropping it from 2.75 percent at the beginning of the year to a mere 0.25 percent now. The discount rate is the rate the Fed charges for loans it makes to private banks. By dropping the rate, the Fed is hoping banks will borrow more money, then use that money to make new loans to businesses and consumers. What has spooked the Fed is that GDP is falling at the fastest rate in 50 years. The Fed is hoping that record low interest rates will prompt more spending, preventing a protracted recession. If every one-point change in the federal funds rate alters aggregate demand by $180 billion, how far would AD shift in response to the interest rate cuts?
calculate the money growth rate required to finance the budget deficit of Rs. 10,000 in an economy. Given the following information: Income(Y) = Rs. 100,000 Nominal money supply (M) = Rs. 80,000 Price level (P) = Rs. 20
Suppose that the graph below represents the market for financial capital in Palau. How does an increase in the budget deficit of Palau affect its equilibrium interest rate? Interest rate (%) Supply Demand Quantity of financial capital (% of GDP) The equilibrium interest rate increases since the supply curve for financial capital shifts to the left. The equilibrium interest rate decreases since the demand curve for financial capital shifts to the left. The equilibrium interest rate increases since the demand curve for financial capital shifts to the right. The equilibrium interest rate decreases since the supply curve for financial capital shifts to the right.
A country's central bank is engaging in monetary contraction, with M going from M0=40 to M1=20. Its economy is as follows. Goods: slc = 3 MPC = 0.7 G = 10 T = 9 Before the policy, the goods market equilibrium is at Y0 = 54. Financial: I = 18-200r Before the policy, the loans market equilibrium is at r = 4.25% and I = 9.5 Money: M0 = 40 P0 = 2 M/P = 0.02 / (r - Y/5000)^2 and finally, Labor: w = MPL = 0.5 * 4.5 * 16^0.5 / L^0.5 w = EP / P0 * L^0.5 Where workers currently expect the price level of EP=2. How does the monetary contraction directly and immediately affect the goods market? There are four endogenous variables that adjust in response to shock/policy: Y, I, r, P. The policy variable of interest is M. Therefore, let's approach our solution by first recognizing that all other letters are just constants and plug them in. For example: Y = 2 + 0.5(Y-6)+7+I becomes Y = 12 + 2*I First, express the goods market as expenditure being a linear function of investment I of the form: Y = a…
