In 2001, the annual trade volume between the two was estimated to be US$ 10 Billion. This figure has astonishingly increased to US$ 215 Billion by 2016. This growing relationship has been characterised by scholars under three approaches. The first one sees China as a true development partner of Africa. The second approach is that China is an economic competitor of the West in Africa with the ultimate objective of having its own share in exploiting the natural resources of the continent. The third approach is an extreme position of characterizing the engagement as a new colonialism. The paper concludes that China should be seen as a true development partner as opposed to the claims of exploitation and colonization.

The study examines the role of financial inclusion in supporting women empowerment in Lango sub region, Northern Uganda. Using both purposive and simple random sampling a Sample of 126 respondents was selected with a response rate of 100% realized. The study found out that financial support appeared to be sparse, The regulations, supervision and monitoring of some of these firms was lacking, causing many women to lose their savings with such firms. The study therefore recommended that Government should establish buffers to serve as collateral security for women who intend to secure financial credit. Financial service providers should lower down the costs of operating accounts for the financial inclusiveness of women, particularly women from rural areas. Government should tighten monitoring, regulating and supervisory policies of financial service providers to restore public trust in financial institutions in Uganda. Financial services providers, government and other development partners should offer both formal and informal business education training.

Moreover, when a business crossed the borders of a nation, it becomes infinitely more complex. Along with this, export marketing offers ample opportunities for earning huge profits and valuable foreign exchange. Export marketing has wider economic significance as it offers various advantages to the national economy. It promotes economic, business, industrial development, to earn foreign exchange and ensures optimum utilization of available resources. Every country takes various policy initiatives for promoting exports and for meaningful participation in global marketing. Every country has to open up its markets to other countries and also try to enter the markets of other countries in the best possible manner. This is a normal rule which every country has to follow under the present global marketing environment. In the absence of such participation in global marketing, the process of economic development of the country comes in danger. This paper covers new foreign trade policy, various means to identify an export market, role of director general of foreign trade, national small industries corporation, role of international trade promotion organization, export pricing, and role of export credit guarantee corporation in facilitating exporters and banks.

The validity of the twin deficits issue is examined in the context of Pakistan economy using annual time series data for the period 1972 to 2015. The three different econometric techniques are used to check the robustness and comparison of results for Twin Deficit hypothesis. Impulse response function is also imposed to check the policy impact of variables. Results through all co-integration techniques have given a support of Twin Deficit hypothesis and one way causality from current account deficit to the budget deficit has been proved by three approaches. Finally this empirical study confirms the validity of twin deficits hypothesis and concludes that trade deficit is one of the determinants of budget deficit and can cause it in case of Pakistan.

To evaluate the performance of the Indian banks, the researcher has opted to compare the financial performance of different Scheduled Commercial Banks (SCBs) applying the parameters Return on Asset, Return on Equity and Net Interest Margin. Furthermore, his study proves if
any significant difference of profitability means among different banking groups really exists. For this purpose, he has chosen the parameter of quantitative research using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) from 2009 to 2013 following the global financial slump of 2008. To state, ROA for Public Sector Banks was recorded 0.97%in 2010 from 1.02% of 2009. For the State Bank of India group (SBI), it was a notch lower at 0.91% (2010) than 1.02% in 2009. ROE for all banks saw a decrease during 2009-2013: but the OPSBs and the NPSBs recorded increase in ROE from 14.6 % and 10.6 % in 2009 to 16.22% and 16.51% in 2013
respectively. For all the banks, NIM shows a significant rise during 2011-12 excluding the FBs. Furthermore, the result indicates that there is no significant means in difference of profitability among various banking groups in respect of ROA and NIM, yet a significant means of difference is seen among the peer groups in terms of ROE.

FDI operations, in the rest of the world have increased after 2010, while flows to the MENA region
continued their downward trend as is exacerbating the economic, political and social conditions. In the
wake of the "Arab Spring", the level and composition of FDI flows had been severely affected. In the
current international context, especially in MENA region, the understanding of country risk by
international investors is extremely important. This paper will firstly present the literature review related
to different aspects of FDI and country risk. Secondly, principal concepts on traditional and nontraditional
FDI determinants will be presented. Thirdly, an in-depth analysis on FDI in the MENA region
will be carried out. Finally, a set of suggestions and recommendations will be presented in order to develop
potential strategies attracting and enhancing FDI in the MENA region.
