The hope was to attain sustainable development within a generation. The Plan encountered many obstacles and towards the end of 1965, policy-makers abandoned it. However, considerable levels of economic growth were achieved despite there being developmental disparities between the regions. Sudan found it difficult to build on this success and increase the capacity of her economy in future years

Our sample is an aggregate quarterly dataset that spans from 1960 – 2008. Our geographical area investigated is a multitude of countries i.e. USA, UK, Japan, Australia, Germany, Italy, Brazil and India. Our model is the Markov Switching Regime Chain multiple regression model. The model allows capturing for non-linearity in the relationship between external finance premium (EFP) and GDP (economic activity). Our results show the EFP is indeed an important indicator of macroeconomic policies such as inflation, monetary policy as well as economic activity for most of the countries studied. This is more supporting evidence for the already existing evidence Bernanke and Gertler (2000), Ferre de Graeve (2007) among others.
