The Objective of this study is to examine the effect of exchange rate system on the balance of payments, with a case study of a group of Arab countries. First we shed light on the most important theoretical and empirical studies of exchange rate systems and their macroeconomics effects in one hand. In the other hand we study a case of six oil exporting Arab countries. To achieve this purpose we adopted a panel data and run an econometric model to examine the relationships between the variables during the period 2000 to 2016. The study concluded that there is a significant positive correlation between the exchange rate as an independent variable and the balance of payments as a dependent variable, and there is no deference in the effects of the exchange system in the study of six Arab economies.

Purpose: Over the last decades, tourism has experienced continued growth, and its impact on economic activity can be observed through its effects on the balance of payments and the labour market, as well as connections with other economic activities. According to the ITB report (2016), urban tourism recorded the largest increase, noting that tourist arrivals in urban areas increased by 58% in the past five years. This was due to growing urbanization, better road accessibility and air connectivity between cities, shorter stays and an increasing number of trips per year. In recent years, the number of tourist arrivals in urban areas has also increased in Croatia. In 2018, over 12 million arrivals were recorded, which represents 64% of the total tourist arrivals for that year. Methodology: The aim of this paper is to investigate the relationship between tourism (tourism indicators) and sustainable development (investment in sustainable development) in cities in Croatia. The survey covered all 128 cities. The data analysis was conducted using descriptive analysis, correlation analysis, Mann-Whitney test and regression analysis. Results: The results show that there is a correlation between tourism and sustainable development in the analysed cities. Cities with thriving tourism pay more attention to sustainable development. Conclusion: It is necessary to continuously increase the levels of knowledge and understanding of tourism in accordance with the principles of sustainable development.

Australia's development capital requirements cannot be solely financed from domestic savings but need to be supplemented by overseas capital. Thus there should be no impediments to the inflow of overseas funds and variable deposit ratio controls (currently suspended) should be abolished.Overseas capital inflow is important for the balance of payments, as imports of capital goods are likely to rise during the developmental stage of large resource projects. Exports in subsequent years will provide the funds for amortization of borrowings.However the Australian capital markets can still provide for adequate local participation and funding. In particular, Australian banks have a capacity to finance our share of large projects, but it will be argued that a less controlled banking system will improve its long term ability in this regard.As a consequence the relationship between money supply management and interest rates will be discussed.Overall the capital needs of structural change will be reviewed with the conclusion that Australia is already turning its attention to capital investment in areas of comparative advantage - resource development, particularly beneficiation of raw materials.
