الخصائص الهيكلية للاقتصاد السوري و دورها في اختيار نظام الصرف الأمثل

This research aims to investigate the optimal exchange rate regime in Syria during the period 1990-2010 in order to know whether the move that took place in 2007 toward more flexible exchange rate regime, through pegging the Syrian pound to the SDR basket within margin 9%, is an optimal choice. For that purpose, we study and analyze a number of determinants relating to the economy's structural characteristics and considered in the economic literature to have an important effect on the economic performance, and hence on the choice of the optimal exchange rate regime.
