| Abstract: | Commodity price fluctuations have always been of importance to developing countries. While positive price swings have led to rising export earnings and domestic income growth, negative price swings have lowered income growth and disrupted investment programs. Longer-term price swings in their downward phase have reinforced secular declining trends in commodity terms of trade, while shorter-term price fluctuations have led to earnings and balance of payments instability. |
