“…The price gap of a commodity in the domestic market with the international market will also determine the value of export transactions, where producers will make decisions based on a higher profit motive. Besides, exports arise as a result of differences in demand for a commodity between countries due to differences in tastes and income (Vacu & Odhiambo, 2017 ;Bakari et al, 2018) . In this case, differences in tastes in agricultural commodities, trade, industry, and services encourage trade transactions.…”

Export is one sector of the economy with a major role through market expansion between several countries, where it can carry out an expansion in an industry, thereby encouraging other industries and further encouraging other sectors of the economy. This study aims to analyze the effect of exchange rates, inflation, interest rates, and imports on exports in ASEAN countries. The data used in this study were annual data for the 2015-2019 period sourced from the World Bank. This research model employed a panel data method with a fixed-effect model, combining time series and cross section data with the help of EViews 7. The results revealed that exchange rates and imports had a positive and significant effect on exports. In addition, inflation and interest rates had a positive and insignificant effect on exports. Therefore, the governments of the ASEAN countries must monitor the stability of exchange rates, inflation, interest rates, and imports to increase exports from year to year so that the economy in ASEAN countries remains stable.

This research aims to analyze the determinants of fish exports in ASEAN countries from 2012 to 2021. The data used in this research were obtained from official sources that pertain to fish exports in each ASEAN member country. A panel data regression approach was implemented as the analysis method. Gross Domestic Product (GDP), currency exchange rate (ER), FP (fish production), Total population (Pop), and number of ports (NP) were the variables that were observed. The analysis results revealed that GDP, currency exchange rate, and fish production variables significantly influenced fish exports from ASEAN countries. Nevertheless, the population (JPNTE) variables and number of ports (JP) were not found to have a substantial impact on fish exports. These findings suggest the importance of macroeconomic and production factors in determining fish export performance, while factors such as population and number of ports did not significantly influence.

South Africa’s municipalities have been called upon to provide potable clean water and to empower local communities to participate in water supply management in view of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations. However, despite such efforts, access to piped water is dwindling and disparities in the distribution of water are growing (Mkize, 2021). This paper aimed to explore the existing policy and institutional frameworks that enhance or inhibit communities’ roles as water services intermediaries in the Eastern Cape and Free State provinces of South Africa. This article adopted the qualitative research methodology in presenting the findings and the analysis of data from communities and government and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) officials’ narratives on the factors that enhance or inhibit communities’ participation in water management. The findings highlight that, despite South Africa’s elaborate legal frameworks for water governance, South Africa has not managed to achieve water equity or to engage meaningfully with beneficiary communities as part of water management. Water inequalities are still predominantly characteristic of formerly excluded areas in the villages, townships, and informal settlements, and have grown in tandem with overall social and economic inequalities that are making South Africa the most unequal country in the world.
