- Description:
- Saving is regarded as a key performance indicator by the development economists. Increase in savings ratio is necessary for achieving a satisfactory rate of economic growth. Generally speaking, the problem of developing countries is the problem of capital accumulation required to finance economic development plans. Foreign capital accumulation, which has been the major source of capital accumulation, exacerbates the balance of payment deficits as a result of rising debt repayment obligation and tying financial aids to donor-country exports. In consideration of these drawbacks in foreign capital accumulation, there comes the need for most developing countries to consider savings as alternative means of financing economic development plans. Efforts to increase saving potential in developing countries have suffered from a dearth of knowledge regarding the nature of the saving function. There will be more successful policies designed to increase the savings propensities if more is known of the nature of savings determinants in developing countries. Hence, there comes the need for the study of personal saving function in developing economies.
