Syed Nawab Haider Naqvi, Dr A. R. Kemal, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen: It is a matter of pleasure and privilege for me to inaugurate the Seventh Annual General Meeting of the Pakistan Society of Development Economists. I;un grateful to the President of the Society for his invitation to address this august body. I am pleased to observe that in its short but eventful existence the Society has grown in stature, nationally and internationally. It has contributed immensely to the cause of development economics and has deepened our understanding of the development process in Pakistan. The Society has carried out its task: in a low-keyed but efficient fashion, and has shown its commitment to achieving academic excellence. I wish to congratulate the Society for its accomplishments, with the sincere hope that it will continue to pursue its mission with undivided attention. This session of the Society is taking place at a crucial time. On the international front, the world is in the grip of a serious crisis emanating from the Gulf situation and the slowing down of world economic growth. And at home, despite many constraints the newly elected Government has embarked upon a bold programme of economic and social development and reforms.

It is with great pleasure that I inaugurate the Eleventh Annual General Meeting of the Pakistan Society of Development Economists. I have noted with satisfaction the contribution this Society has made over the years to add to our knowledge about the importance of development economics, and particularly in comprehending adequately the multi-dimensional character of the development process and for framing fruitful policies to accelerate the rate of economic development. Above all, it has given an institutional shape to the meaningful dialogue between professional economists and policy-makers. I am delighted to see such a large number of distinguished economists from all over the world participating in the Society’s deliberations. Only the best results can be expected to come out of such objective discussions about some of the highly topical economic issues of our time. I wish to extend my appreciation to the Society for providing such an effective platform to economists, demographers, and anthropologists.

The Past

Syed Nawab Haider Naqvi, Dr Ghaffar Chaudhry, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen: It is my privilege to inaugurate the Fifth Annual General Meeting of the Pakistan Society of Development Economists. During the past six years of its existence the Society, which I founded in 1982, has become an institution devoted to the pursuit of scientific virtuosity and academic rectitude. It has provided a powerful medium through which a serious discussion of economic and demographic issues related to Pakistan's economy has become possible. I am happy to know that by this time over one hundred papers, written by scholars from all over the world, have been presented in this forum. In addition, the Inaugural Address, the Presidential Address, the Quaid-i-Azam Lectures, and the Guest Lectures, presented in this forum each year, provide a synoptic review of the fields of development economics and demography, and of issues relating to the economics of education, health and the role of women in the development process. This massive intellectual output should strengthen the process of knowledge creation by matching the theories of economic development with the 'reality' in the developing countries. The resulting literature, with a focus on Pakistan, also provides rich source material and guidelines for policy formulation in the field of socio-economic development. I must add, however, that while due to the contributions of the Society we know much more about the nature of the development problem, our knowledge of how to solve it has probably not expanded as much.

Mr President of the Society, Secretary of the Society, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen: It gives me great pleasure to inaugurate the Third Annual General Meeting of the Pakistan Society of Development Economists (PSDE). I am happy to note that, within only four years of its existence, the Society has become one of the most important national forums for discussing economic and demographic issues relating to Pakistan's economy and has attracted to its fold a large number of social scientists from all over the world. The first and second Annual General Meetings of the Society, held in the last two years, have already generated a substantial body of relevant knowledge about development economics and Pakistan's economy. I am sure that the third meeting will be even more fruitful in this respect.

Main Factors

Russian economy has reached the low level of inflation, but economic growth has not accelerated. Moreover, according to official forecasts, in the following years it will still be low. The article concludes that domestic demand, which is one of the main factors of growth, is significantly constrained by monetary, budgetary and fiscal spheres. The situation in the Russian economy is still hampered by the decline of the world economic growth. The prospects of financial markets are highly uncertain. This increases the possibility of crisis in the world. Leading countries widely use non-traditional measures to support their economies in the similar environment. In the world economy as well as in Russia a principally new combination of factors has emerged, which create specific features of economic growth. It requires special set of measures to stimulate such growth. The article proves that Russian regulators have large unused potential to stimulate growth. It includes monetization, long-money creation, budget and tax stimuli. It is important that the instruments, which will be used, should be based on domestic mechanisms. This will strengthen financial basis of the economy and may encourage economic growth. Some specific suggestions as to their use are made.

Prof. Syed Nawab Haider Naqvi, Dr M. Ghaffar Chaudhry, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen: It is a privilege for me to inaugurate the Fourth Annual General Meeting of the Pakistan Society of Development Economists. I am pleased to note that within only five years of its existence the Society has evolved into a prestigious forum for a free and precious exchange of ideas among economists and policy-makers. I am told that through these annual general meetings 74 papers on various topics have been prepared and published, and that, in its Lecture Series on Development Economics, eminent international economists and demographers have read papers on leading issues in economics and demography. The literature created under the aegis of the Society furnishes useful insights into the functioning of the economy and has contributed to the comprehension of the problems of almost all areas of Pakistan's economy - agriculture, industry, trade, resource mobilization, etc. I am happy to note that the Society has helped to promote a scientific and pragmatic approach in policy-formulation and economic decision-making, and has enabled us to think systematically about the nature of the challenges posed and faced by Pakistan's economic development and about the response to this challenge.

This chapter tracks the economy of the 1970s as it began to decline after the prosperity of previous decades. Economic growth had defined human history for two hundred years, reaching a peak in the generation after 1945 when world economic growth averaged an extraordinary 5–7 percent per year. Americans rode that growth to a higher standard of living than anyone else. But in the 1970s it all seemed to be flowing away. Unemployment, oil shortages, a plunging stock market, recession, and, above all, inflation were apparently ending these golden years of unparalleled prosperity. Inflation hit everyone, and it hit the poor hardest of all. Persistent inflation undercut dreams and hopes for the future. The economic trauma of the 1970s threatened to destabilize Americans' understanding of how the world worked.
