This research study examines how COVID-19 affected the supply chain on a worldwide and regional scale, as well as the systemic policy and economic steps governments and businesses took to rebound and maintain resilience. COVID-19 has had a significant influence, prompting governments and businesses to take steps to fortify their operations and businesses against disruptions, highlight the necessity for resilience in supply chains and emphasize the importance of managing risk. The supply value chain is at risk from the prolonged implementation of COVID-19 trade measures like border closure, export restrictions, and import sanctions. Many businesses are transitioning from a "recovery mode" to a resilient and sustainable mode" and are beginning to plan for the future. The study suggests that corporate and government leaders should prioritize proactive and adaptable policy, economic, and structural adjustment. This research will be useful to policymakers and industry leaders in their efforts to lessen the effect of COVID-19 on the global supply chain by enforcing governmental, economic, and business reforms built on resilient supply chains and mitigating economic risks during tough times.

The period during and after 2008 was critical in providing insight on how vital operational risk management is essential to financial institutions and how best these risks can be managed. The study begins with an overview of the concept of risk and BASEL I, II and III and how they apply to financial institutions. Further, the paper discusses the growing need for operational risk management in the context of financial institutions taking into considerations various models and approaches used in the management of financial risks. Moreover, several pieces of literature discussed operational risks in the financial institutions. The paper also looks at the various methods of operational risk identification and management before concluding that for better management of operational risks in banks, there is the need to comply with both the national and international regulations and procedures.

GCC countries showed remarkable economic growth and development. However, this growth and development put severe pressure on the environment, leading to the degradation of the Environment. Therefore, it is essential to investigate essential factors of environmental degradation, such as technological innovation and financial development. However, per capita income and energy consumption are also crucial factors of environmental degradation. Henceforth, the study carried out panel data from 2001 to 2019 to examine the influence of technological innovation, financial development, energy consumption, and per capita income on environmental degradation in GCC. After conducting necessary preliminary tests, the study employed a symmetric and asymmetric ARDL approach to quantify the numerical estimates. Both symmetric and asymmetric models show that technological innovation reduces environmental degradation, while energy consumption, per capita, and financial development expedite the ecological deterioration in GCC. The Wald tests demonstrate the asymmetric relationship between technological innovation, energy consumption, financial development, and environmental degradation. However, the study fails to find a significant asymmetric relationship between per capita and ecological degradation. The recommendations are added in the recommendation part of the paper.

The study employed quarterly time series for analysis and from 1993-2018, and selected variables are Sustainable development, Stock market, financial development, and trade openness. Sustainable development is treated as a dependent variable, while the others are independent variables. It is concluded that a long run association among the stock market, financial development, trade and sustainable development exists. Autoregressive distributed lagged (ARDL) model is applied for long run and short run estimates. In long run stock market, trade openness and financial development are positive and significant factors of sustainable development, while in the short run, stock market is significant negative contributor to sustainable development. It is therefore recommended that efforts should be made to encourage the investor so that the stock market ...

The highest level of growth rate in per capita is attributed to the growth rate in population and energy production. However, There is consensus that growth rate negative affect environment especially growth of population and energy consumption. Furthermore due to Qatar national plan to diversify the economy and reduces reliance on the oil, depletion of oil reservoir in the country and market volatility in the price of petroleum products, there is need to conducted the empirical research to checked the effect of tourism development, energy consumption and urbanization on sustainable development in Qatar. After gathering time series data from the period of 1995 to 2019 and conducting preliminary tests, the study found there is negative and significant effects of energy consumption, urbanization on sustainable development and positive and significant effect of tourism development on the...

However, scientists have insufficient attention to the issues related to the elements that contribute to justifying these impacts and bolstering its response in BRI nations. Accordingly, the existent study executed an in-depth examination of the spatial direct and spillover effects of foreign direct investment inflows (FDI) and biomass energy consumption (BEC) on greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) for 57 BRI countries (1992–2012). We applied the spatial lag model (SLM), the spatial error model (SEM), and the spatial Durbin model (SDM) with five different weights matrices to verify the existence of the pollution haven hypothesis (PHH), the pollution halo hypothesis (P-HH), and the N-shaped environmental Kuznets curve (EKC). We linked the study results with the implementation level of the sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The findings of local Moran’s I (LMI) and Lagrange Multiplier (LM) tests confirm the existence of spatial autocorrelation (SAR). The empirical results revealed that FDI has a positive direct and spillover influence on GHG emissions, which supports the presence of PHH. Also, the nexus between economic growth and GHG emission is an N-shaped curve. The results revered that BEC has a negative sign for direct and spillover effects. In contrast to BEC, Fossil Fuel Energy Consumption (FFEC) and population positively sign for direct and indirect impact. Some policy proposals and future research directions are discussed for BRI countries.

Basel II will apply to internationally active banks and to all banks and investment firms in the EU via transposition of a new Directive into national regulations. By doing so, the national financial supervisory authority (CSSF)in Luxembourg, and a public research center (CRPHT) have engaged in a joint research project that investigates solutions conformant to ISO/IEC 15504 for assessing operational risk management frameworks implemented in banks. The ISO/IEC 15504 requirements can meet the CSSF's expectation on consistent, transparent and sound risk assessments, as well as the expectation on promoting enhancements in institutions' risk management practices without dictating the form or operational detail of their policies and practices. Moreover, although the domain is largely outside the scope of software and systems engineering, the ISO/IEC 15504 process assessment standard provides for an adequate solution to the so-called supervisory review process. This adequacy is validated through the structure of Basel II and financial domain requirements. Last but not least, we will show that ISO/IEC 15504 provides an adequate approach to assessing institutions in two sub-domains, namely the domain of credit operational risk management and the domain of IT risk management (including IT security risks management). 1 Bank supervisors are some national entities having the power to control compliance to national banking laws and to terminate unsafe and unsound banking practices in their country. 2 The Basel Committee consists of senior representatives of bank supervisory authorities and central banks from

This paper was highlighted on the reality of the corporate governance in Yemen through discussing the policies and instructions which are adopted by the financial authorities and banks. We choose the adoption of corporate governance in the banking sector as the importance for this vital industry in economic stability. This study followed the theoretical framework method in the analysis the laws, regulation, and procedures which developed by the central bank of Yemen. Also, analysis the issues and challenges of adoption the corporate governance in the banking sector. We found that the financial authorities in Yemen achieved a remarkable development in launched rules, laws and regulations, while the practice for these rules from the banks still in the minimum level, and this refer to unstable in the political issues in the country since 2011. We recommend more research regarding the effect of adoption corporate governance in the banking sector in developing countries.
