...Version 1 General Certificate of Education (A-level) January 2013 Economics ECON2 (Specification 2140) Unit 2: The National Economy Final Mark Scheme Mark schemes are prepared by the Principal Examiner and considered, together with the relevant questions, by a panel of subject teachers. This mark scheme includes any amendments made at the standardisation events which all examiners participate in and is the scheme which was used by them in this examination. The standardisation process ensures that the mark scheme covers the candidates’ responses to questions and that every examiner understands and applies it in the same correct way. As preparation for standardisation each examiner analyses a number of candidates’ scripts: alternative answers not already covered by the mark scheme are discussed and legislated for. If, after the standardisation process, examiners encounter unusual answers which have not been raised they are required to refer these to the Principal Examiner. It must be stressed that a mark scheme is a working document, in many cases further developed and expanded on the basis of candidates’ reactions to a particular paper. Assumptions about future mark schemes on the basis of one year’s document should be avoided; whilst the guiding principles of assessment remain constant, details will change, depending...

...Introduction In Malaysia, Employee Provident Fund (EPF) is known as Kumpulan Wang Simpanan Pekerja (KWSP). In brief, EPF is a mandatory savings scheme for every employee from Private and Non-Pensionable Public Sector in Malaysia. 11% of the employees’ monthly gross income would be contributed to the EPF. In addition, the employer would contribute certain percentage to the employees’ EPF accounts. For wages of RM 5,000 and below, the employer would contribute 13% of the wages to the employees’ EPF account, whereas for those wages exceeding RM 5,000, the employer’s contribution would be only 12%. The contribution would then be invested in a number of approved financial instruments such as Malaysian Government Securities, Money Market Instruments, Loans & Bonds, Equity and Property to generate income. The EPF ensure us to have a secure savings and reasonable dividends. A minimum dividend of 2.5% is guaranteed annually. The actual dividend rate declared would be varied according to the investment return made in approved financial instruments as stated. The annual dividends are calculated based on the opening balance in the EPF account as at 1 January of each year, while the monthly dividends would be credited into the EPF account based on the monthly contributions received.

...the Central Provident Fund (CPF), a social security savings scheme as an alternative to a state pension scheme. The CPF has evolved significantly since its humble beginnings more than half a century ago. With multiple modifications over the years, citizens now can use their CPF savings to purchase public and private housing, pay for medical expenses, education, investment options and even insurance protection plans. However, with changes come a myriad of benefits as well as flaws. General public discontent lies in a few main issues. Firstly, the fact that interest accrued by CPF savings is too low. Secondly, much of the government approved investments of CPF monies were lost due incorrect timing of the investments and high transactions costs. Thirdly, the minimum-sum scheme introduced in 1987, disallowed full withdrawal of one’s CPF savings at age 55. CPF savings are invested in Special Singapore Government Securities (SSGS). These bonds have consistently achieved a triple-A (AAA) rating, the highest possible credit rating by the three main credit rating agencies worldwide. Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch Group. The income from the issuance of these bonds are then combined together with other government funds which are then placed with the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), the central bank. Before the establishment of the Government Investment Corporation (GIC), a sovereign wealth fund, MAS managed the CPF savings through an outdated, central-banking investment system...

...Marketing Approach to Promoting Banking Services Biswa N Bhattacharyay In recent years, banks in India have not been able to mobilize surplus funds owing to the rapid emergence of competitive non-banking financial institutions. Non-fund based banking services have been underutilized by customers because of low awareness and this has affected banks' profitability. In this article, Bhattacharyay presents a marketing approach to promoting banking services and mobilizing deposits. Using primary data obtained from a country-wide survey of 19,000 households, Bhattacharyay has identified different segments of the customers which could be tapped by identifying their current and future needs and providing an appropriate range of services. Biswa N Bhattacharyay is Professor at the National Institute of Bank Management, Pune. After nationalization, banks in India have largely succeeded in mobilizing surplus funds in the Indian economy. Of late, however, the rate of growth of deposit mobilization has reduced considerably with the emergence of non-banking institutions and growth of competitive financial instruments. Banks have also failed to keep pace with the growth of surplus investible funds. If this present trend continues, banks may find it rather difficult to meet credit.obligations. At the same time, usage by customers of nonfund based miscellaneous banking services is quite low and has affected the profitability of the banking industry. There is also a sense of dissatisfaction with...

It is similar to making FDs of a certain amount in monthly installments, for example Rs 1000 every month. This deposit matures on a specific date in the future along with all the deposits made every month. Thus, Recurring Deposit schemes allow customers with an opportunity to build up their savings through regular monthly deposits of fixed sum over a fixed period of time. The Recurring Deposit can be funded by Standing instructions which are the instructions by the customer to the bank to withdraw a certain sum of money from his Savings/ Current account and credit to the Recurring Deposit every month. When the RD account is opened, the maturity value is indicated to the customer assuming that the monthly instalments will be paid regularly on due dates.

Questionnaires were used to collect the data and were analyzed via cross tabulation, mean score analysis and multiple regressions. The findings indicate Sungai Petani’s community is aware of the term Islamic pawn broking but the awareness is at a different level among the races. The majority of Chinese and Malays were aware of this scheme. However the Indians were not aware of the scheme. The findings also indicate that the majority of Islamic pawn broking consumers are in a lower income group, mainly from the private sector with an income of RM1000 and below. It is also found that the main factor influencing public to pursue Islamic pawn broking was its cheap cost of loan. The other factors that were tested were confidential, customer service, locality and income level.

...BANKING IN INDIA Banking in India originated in the first decade of 18th century. The first banks were, The General Bank of India, which started in 1786, and Bank of Hindustan, both of which are now defunct. The oldest bank in existence in India is the State Bank of India, which originated in the "The Bank of Bengal" in Calcutta in June 1806. This was one of the three presidency banks, the other two being the Bank of Bombay and the Bank of Madras. The presidency banks were established under charters from the British East India Company. They merged in 1925 to form the Imperial Bank of India, which, upon India's independence, became the State Bank of India. For many years the Presidency banks acted as quasi-central banks, as did their successors. The Reserve Bank of India formally took on the responsibility of regulating the Indian banking sector from 1935. After India's independence in 1947, the Reserve Bank was nationalized and given broader powers. Early history The first fully Indian owned bank was the Allahabad Bank, established in 1865. However, at the end of late-18th century, there were hardly any banks in India in the modern sense of the term. The American Civil War stopped the supply of cotton to Lancashire from the Confederate States. Promoters opened banks to finance trading in Indian cotton. With large exposure to speculative ventures, most of the banks opened in India during that period failed. The depositors lost money and lost interest in keeping deposits...
