This transition is facilitated through the implementation of a range of legislative measures&nbsp; that align with the goals of the energy transition program. Furthermore, Germany leads in European scientific research, prioritizing the&nbsp; involvement of the private sector. These initiatives have resulted in positive outcomes in the German energy market, prompting the&nbsp; development of infrastructure for renewable energy sources. Consequently, their contribution to Germany’s energy supply has seen a&nbsp; gradual rise.</p> Zakaria Hireche Moussa Boucheneb Copyright (c) 2024 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-08-01 2024-08-01 7 1 1 21 Human capital investment and economic development: empirical evidence from the Middle East region MENA https://www.ajol.info/index.php/ripe/article/view/275358 <p>This paper explores the role of human capital in economic growth in the MENA region.

Information was collected and analyzed using multiple tools and&nbsp; approaches.The study reached a set of results, the most important of which is that Islamic banking in Algeria is still somewhat weak compared to some countries that have made great strides in this field, and also compared to the traditional banking reality in Algeria, as&nbsp; it did not exceed 3% of the total financing volume, despite the efforts and attempts made. By the Bank of Algeria to strengthen Islamic&nbsp; banking, and in order for this type of financing to be promoted, development requirements must be taken into account and horizons&nbsp; studied that make it an Islamic banking industry in line with the reality of the Algerian banking system.&nbsp;</p> Yassamine Bendjebbes Copyright (c) 2024 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-08-01 2024-08-01 7 1 73 87 Sustainable leadership practices in business organizations https://www.ajol.info/index.php/ripe/article/view/275362 <p>An overview of sustainable leadership techniques and their significance for business organizations is given in this study, about the&nbsp; essential components of business organizations' sustainable leadership, by using the descriptive method.

This study was conducted on a group of eight (8) Algerian banks: three (3) private banks, and&nbsp; five (5) public banks. The population of the study is the managers {General Director and his staff, department director and some district&nbsp; managers), and the study sample consisted of 80 individuals, with 10 representatives from each bank. The curriculum that is appropriate&nbsp; for this study involves analytical methods for testing hypotheses, as well as using the descriptive approach in building the theoretical&nbsp; aspect of the study. Data were collected through a questionnaire and analyzed using statistical methods through the program (spss). The&nbsp; most important result of this study is that Technology is one of the primary elements that demands close attention at the strategic&nbsp; management level due to its important role in bringing about fundamental changes to suit the requirements of the future. The study&nbsp; recommends that Algerian banks must recognize the significance of the relationship between their success and the direction of creativity&nbsp; in hiring technology and investing in the identification of customer preferences, and they must support technology in order to link&nbsp; strategic orientation towards technology and the general strategy of the bank.&nbsp;</p> Adnane Amina Copyright (c) 2024 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-08-01 2024-08-01 7 1 180 205 Impact of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the OIC countries https://www.ajol.info/index.php/ripe/article/view/275367 <p>The main purpose of this article is to examine the effect of Information Communication Technology (ICT), market size and trade&nbsp; openness on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) for the panel of 21 countries of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), over the&nbsp; period 1998-2021, using the panel Vector Error Correction Models (panel VECM). overall, we find a strong evidence supporting the view&nbsp; that ICT, market size and trade openness effects FDI in OIC members countries in the long-term. however, in the short-term ICT, market&nbsp; size and trade openness haven’t a significant effect on FDI inflows.</p> Salim Boukezata Copyright (c) 2024 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-08-01 2024-08-01 7 1 206 220 Evaluating The Effectiveness Of The Exchange Rate-Channel In Transmitting The Impact Of Monetary Policy To Inflation In Algeria: From ( 1990 - 2017) - An Econometric Study https://www.ajol.info/index.php/ripe/article/view/275368 <p>This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the exchange rate channel in transmitting the impact of monetary policy to inflation in&nbsp; Algeria during the period (1990 – 2017 ), by trying to answer the problem of the study which is: in measuring the effectiveness of the&nbsp; exchange rate channel in transmitting the effects of monetary policy to inflation in Algeria, relying on the SVAR autoregressive&nbsp; methodology. The results of the study led to the acceptance of the second hypothesis, which is that there is little relative effectiveness of&nbsp; the exchange rate channel in transmitting the effects of monetary policy to inflation in Algeria, which reached a rate of (0.09%).</p> Hassani Bouhassoun Copyright (c) 2024 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-08-01 2024-08-01 7 1 221 236 Covid 19 implications on credit loss provisioning rules under IFRS 9: Pro-cyclicality concerns https://www.ajol.info/index.php/ripe/article/view/275369 <p>The objective of this paper is to analyse the procyclicality behavior of Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model introduced by IFRS 9, during the&nbsp; economic downturn due to the Covid 19 pandemic. A regression analysis was conducted on a dataset gathered from euro era in order to&nbsp; investigate the hypothesis suggesting that the new model does not exhibit a procyclical behavior. Our findings indicate that, despite the&nbsp; IASB's expectation that the ECL model would have a countercyclical impact, it still demonstrates procyclical behavior.</p> Bilal Djelil Faiz Saidj Copyright (c) 2024 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-08-01 2024-08-01 7 1 237 256 Exploring the link between financial inclusion and food security in Algeria: A VECM approach https://www.ajol.info/index.php/ripe/article/view/275370 <p>This study explores the link between financial inclusion and food security in Algeria from 2003 to 2022. Using a composite financial&nbsp; inclusion index and the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM), we analyse the data, subjecting it to various diagnostic tests. Surprisingly,&nbsp; our results reveal that financial inclusion (FI) has a significant and positive impact on undernourishment prevalence, indicating a negative&nbsp; effect on food security in both the short and long term. Likewise, food imports (FIM) contribute to higher undernourishment&nbsp; prevalence, implying a weakening of food security in the long-run. Conversely, unemployment rate (UEM) and food production (FOP)&nbsp; show no substantial long-term impact on food security, although UEM has an opposing effect in the short run, meaning it improves food&nbsp; security at the short term; which can be attributed to the informal economy and other State’s policies. Notably, income per capita&nbsp; (INCAPITA) negatively affects undernourishment prevalence, improving food security. These findings offer a nuanced understanding of&nbsp; the complex relationship between financial inclusion and food security in Algeria, emphasizing the need for multifaceted, contextspecific&nbsp; policies to address the country's unique challenges.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> Hania Chetouane Epo Boniface Ngah Sonia Chetouane Copyright (c) 2024 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-08-01 2024-08-01 7 1 257 280 Green Revolution, Agricultural Performance with Sustainability and Bio-diversity: Special Reference to India https://www.ajol.info/index.php/ripe/article/view/275371 <p>The contemporary surge in economic growth often comes at the expense of future generations. This study delves into the multifaceted&nbsp; issues, problems, and challenges associated with environmental sustainability and the pursuit of sustainable economic development. It&nbsp; scrutinizes how a profit-driven capitalist production model frequently exploits natural resources for short-term gains, often at their full&nbsp; capacity. Achieving sustainable economic development necessitates the formulation and implementation of appropriate policies aligned&nbsp; with the United Nations' Millennium Goals. The study's objective was to re-examine the root causes of pollution while identifying the&nbsp; challenges and opportunities for… Analyzing the situation relied on secondary data from a variety of sources, including social media,&nbsp; academic journals, doctoral theses, print media, and webinars, utilizing a qualitative approach. Ultimately, the study proposes a&nbsp; recommendation: for economic development to be sustainable, it must safeguard existing natural resources, striking a balance between&nbsp;&nbsp; the needs of present and future generations.</p> Akhilesh Chandra Prabhakar Gagan Preet Brar Copyright (c) 2024 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-08-01 2024-08-01 7 1 281 318
