The aim of this UACES study group is to analyse a specific set of
macroeconomic policies in selected Eastern European countries not
covered by the current EU Enlargement process. Specifically, the
aim is to concentrate on the major CIS (Community of Independent
States) countries: Belarus, Kazakhstan, Russia and Ukraine. We will
analyse current and prospective monetary and exchange rate policy
options for those countries. We welcome especially papers dealing
with the following subjects:
Current monetary policy and exchange rate developments in the CIS
countries; Regional monetary integration in the CIS; Exchange rate
policy in a resource/oil-abundant country; External anchors for the
CIS countries; Coordination of fiscal and monetary policy in CIS
countries; Monetary transmission mechanism in CIS countries.
