Assignment:
Visit the International Monetary Fund (IMF) website and examine the Regional Economic Outlook report. This report is identified in your required readings for this week. Select a country included within the Middle East and Central Asia report. What are the primary considerations for this country from an international banking perspective? Is there significant country or currency risk noted for this country? Elaborate on these factors and indicate the sources of risk.
Embed course material concepts, principles, and theories, which require supporting citations along with at least one scholarly, peer-reviewed reference in supporting your answer unless the discussion calls for more. Keep in mind that these scholarly references can be found in the Saudi Digital Library by conducting an advanced search specific to scholarly references.
You need to reply to at least two peer discussion question post answers to this discussion question. These post replies need to be substantial and constructive in nature. They should add to the content of the post and evaluate/analyze that post answer. Normal course dialogue doesn't fulfill these two peer replies but is expected throughout the course. Answering all course questions is also required.
Use Saudi Electronic University academic writing standards and APA style guidelines.
