The research came in three topics, the first of which dealt with the Public Budgeting, the second dealt with oil prices, and the third discussed the exchange rate.
The research has reached a number of results, perhaps the most important of which is that lowering the exchange rate of the dinar against the dollar worked to reduce the value of real income for individuals and increase the proportion of individuals below the poverty line, but on the other hand it will encourage local industries as well as diversify sources of national income, and this matter will have implications Mission in reducing the volume of imports and creating local job opportunities.
