Kriteria vir die evaluering van 'n optimum valutagebied vir Suid‐Afrika en die BLS ‐ lande
Abstract
A set of criteria has been identified to evaluate the optimality of currency area formation. The set consists of one political criterion and a number of interdependent economic criteria. According to the economic criteria for currency area formation an optimum currency area is possible in South Africa and the BLS countries. There are practical obstacles, however, and with regard to the political criterion an optimum currency area between these countries is not possible at present. However, a second best option is possible. From time to time, the membership of each member country could be evaluated while economic cooperation and integration (such as the SADU) continues to benefit all the members concerned. Hierdie artikel evalueer die monetêre strukture en breë ekonomiese omstandighede van Suid-Afrika en van Botswana, Lesotho and Swaziland (BLS-lande) aan 'n stel kriteria om die eise van die moontlikheid van 'n optimum valutagebied te bepaal, gebaseer op data tot 1987.
