1 THE EFFECT OF BUDGET DEFICIT ON INTEREST RATES IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA COUNTRIES: A PANEL VAR APPROACH Ikechukwu Kelikume Lagos Business School, Pan-Atlantic University, Lagos, Nigeria ABSTRACT The global economic crisis and the recent effects of declining global oil prices has led most countries in sub- Saharan Africa to respond by borrowing massively from both domestic and international market to fund the day to day running of the home country. The effects of borrowing and increased deficit financing raises the age old question of the linkage between government deficit financing and domestic interest rates. Notable amongst the issue raised by increasing deficit financing is the issue of government borrowing crowding out private sector investment. Though there are theories, which link budget deficit and interest rate, however, there is no consensus on the relationship between them. This study, therefore, examine the effect of government deficit financing on interest rates. The study made use of the panel Vector Auto regression techniques on dataset collected from 18 countries across Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) over the period 2 to 214. The results obtained for this study showed that interest rate initially responded negatively to rising budget deficit which negates the conventional Keynesian proposition which states that government deficit reduces the stock of loanable funds and subsequently crowds out private sector investment. Subsequently, the result shows that interest rate became neutral or insensitive to rising government budget deficit. The findings lend credence to the Ricardian Equivalence theory, which emphasizes the neutrality of budget deficit on interest rate. It was also found that interest rate response positively to exchange rate, inflation, and money supply. The policy implication of this study is that Sub-Saharan African economies can increase government borrowing without concerning itself with rising domestic interest rate.

There have been cases of large government budget deficit since the late 197s and this has generated controversial issue among economists. Notable of the issues is that the high interest rate in the past years is attributable to the government deficit budget. Though there are theories, which link budget deficit and interest rate, however, there is no consensus on the relationship between them. The Conventional Keynesian preposition (CKP) is of the view that budget deficit results in the reduction of loanable funds thus, leading to a rise in the interest rate and crowding out of private sector investment. The CKP further presupposes that reduced loan able funds will cause net foreign investment to fall in an open economy since domestic savings now attract higher rates of return and investing abroad is less attractive. Hence, budget deficit according to the CKP, raise both domestic and foreign interest rates, causing decline in net foreign investment. Some authors work such as Laumas (1989), Dua (1993), and Bovenberg (1998) tend to lend credence to the CKP. The Ricardian Equivalent Hypothesis (REH), on the other hand, emphasized on the neutral effect of budget deficit on interest rate, that is, government budget deficit has no impact on macroeconomic variables. The Ricardian argument is based on the premise that an increase in government budget deficit is equivalent to a future increase in tax liabilities and therefore, budget deficits do not have any impact on macroeconomic variables. Some of the authors whose studies conforms to the REH include Barro (1987), Evans (1987), Darrat (199), Findlay (199), and Ostrosky (199). Fiscal policy in most sub-saharan countries has remained expansionary, which has resulted to vulnerability to external shocks. Over one-third of the sub-saharan Africa countries have been experiencing fiscal deficit after the global financial crisis of 27 (Punam et al., 211) and this has led to the accumulation of public debt by oil exporters, middle-income, and low-income countries in sub-saharan Africa countries. For instance, the rate of change in public sector debt between 27 and 212 in the oil exporting countries in sub- 37
2 Saharan Africa countries include Chad 26%, Nigeria 12.7%, and Angola 21.4%. For the middle-income countries, the rate of change in public sector debt in Senegal was 23.5%, South-Africa 25.4%, Ghana 31%, Cape Verde 73.9% Mauritius 56.2%, Lesotho 5.6% while for low income earner include Malawi 41%, Tanzania 4.6%, Sierria Leone 43.2 and Ethiopia 43.5% (International Monetary Fund, 213). Despite this trend, the impact of budget deficit on interest rate still remains controversial and inconclusive as many studies came up with diverse findings. This, therefore, has motivated the study to examine the effects of budget deficit on interest rate in sub-saharan Africa countries. The major innovation of this study is the methodology adopted as well as its scope This paper is structured into five sections. The first section is this part which introduces the topic. Section two examines the empirical literature while section three presents the methodology and data source. Section four discusses the results of findings while section five which is the last part presents the conclusion. LITERATURE REVIEW Several studies abound on the relationship between government budget deficit and interest rate. Empirical findings as regards the relationship are however, conflicting and inconsistence. Mukhtar & Zakaria (28) in their study of the budget deficits and interest rate in Pakistan and tested the conventional crowding-out prepositions against the Ricardian deficit neutrality. They found that budget deficits have no significant effect on nominal interest rate, thus lending credence to the Ricardian view. Caporale, Pittis & Prodromidis (213) research, on the other hand, examined the relationship between budget deficits and interest rates in the US economy using cointegration and causality approach and found a positive relationship between budgets deficit and interest rates in both short-run and long-run. Bovenberg (1998) empirical investigation of the long-term interest rates in the United States noted that fiscal deficits results in increase in real long-term interest rates. The study, on the bases of both theoretical and empirical evidence, asserts that neither the response of national capital mobility nor private savings has prevented budget deficits from raising interest rates. On the contrary, Chen (211) study of budget deficits and interest rates for Japan found that a higher government deficit as a percentage of GDP leads to a lower long-term interest rates in Japan. Meanwhile, Darrat (199) study on structural Federal deficits and interest rates using causality and co-integration test failed to establish the existence of causal relationship between structural federal deficits and interest rates. In addition, it was found that there was no co-integration between structural deficits and corporate rate, implying that there is lack of long-run relationship between the two variables. This result, therefore, cast a doubt on the crowding-out effects of budget deficits preposition by the CKP. In the same vein, Odionye & Uma (213) a long-run relationship between budget deficit and interest rate in Nigeria. The result, however, indicate the existence of a long-run relationship between budget deficit and interest rate, hence, lending the credence to the Keynesian preposition. Laubach (29) study of interest rate effects of budget deficits concluded that the effect of government deficits on interest rates is significant. The outcome of the study noted that a one percent point increase in projected deficit-to-gdp ratio would result in a rise in the long-term interest rates by approximately 25 points. Aisen & Hauner (29) explored the interaction between budget deficits and interest rates in both the advanced and emerging economies using the generalize method of moment (GMM). The overall findings revealed that there is a positive and significance relationship between budgets deficit and interest rates. Also, Cebula (23) study of budget deficits and interest rates in Germany revealed that there exists a long-run relationship between budget deficits and the nominal interest rate. Laumas (1989) investigated the effects of anticipated and unanticipated effect of budget deficit on interest rates and found that the impact of both variables, anticipated and unanticipated budget deficits, on interest rates are statistically significant. In the same vein, Dua (1993) conducted a study on the relationship between interest rates, government purchases, and budget deficits. The outcome of the study showed that the movements in both expected and actual deficit have significant impact on long-term interest rates. On the contrary, Evans (1987) carried out a study on interest rates and expected future budget deficits in the United States and found no evidence that current, past, and expected budget deficits are related to interest rates. Pandit (25) examined the impact of fiscal deficit on long-term nominal interest rate in Nepal. The findings of the 371
3 study revealed that the impact of fiscal deficit on long-term nominal interest rates is insignificant, thus, lending credence to the outcome of Evans (1987). Pandit findings, however, differ from that of Evans, as the study observed a positive relationship between fiscal deficits and long-term interest rates. Kormendi & Protopapadakis (24) investigated the impact of budgets deficits on cash account deficits and real interest rates by testing the conventional preposition against the Ricardian view. They found no evidence of a positive effect of both current and expected budget deficits on real interest rates. In the same vein, Dvorný (26) examined the impact of budget deficit on interest rates in Czech in bid to testing the predictions of the three paradigms, Keynesian, neoclassical and the Ricardian. The results of the study showed that there is a negative relationship between budget deficit and interest rate in the short-run, hence, validating the Ricardian preposition. However, Gale & Orszag (24) conducted a study on budget deficits, national saving, and interest rates with the view of testing the Ricardian and the non-ricardian models. They found that projected future budget deficits affect long-term interest rates while the current deficits do not. Cebula (212) investigation of the causality between primary budget deficits and the ex ante real longterm interest rate in the United States using error correction model (ECM) estimation suggests a bi-directional relationship exist between primary budget deficit and ex ante real long-term interest rate yield. Also, Cebula (1991) study on Federal budget deficits and the term structure of real interest rates in United States using 2SLS estimation of quarterly data noted that budget deficits increases the slope of the yield curve. On the contrary, Hussain & Saaed (214) study on the relationship between budget deficits and macroeconomics variables in United Arab Emirates, using the granger causality technique, found that there is no directional causality between budget deficits and nominal effective exchange rates. The foregoing empirical literature signal that the relationship between budget deficit and interest rate is yet inconclusive, that is, deficit budgets either increase, decrease, or do not have any effect on interest rate. It is believed that the outcome of this study, in addition to previous studies, will offer a lucid relationship between the two variables, particularly as it relates to the sub-saharan countries. METHODOLOGY Sources of Data and Description The study used secondary data sourced from the World Bank Development Indicators (WDI) and International Financial Statistics of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The dataset used for the study comprises of annual data on 18 sub-saharan countries over the period of These countries include Angola, Botswana, Cape Verde, Congo, Dr Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gambia, Kenya, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, Sierria Leone, Sao Tome, South-Africa, Seychelles, Zambia, and Uganda. The rationale for using these selected countries out of the 44 countries in sub-saharan Africa is because of the availability of data on the selected variables. The choice of variables for this study include real interest rate (RIR), budget deficits as a ratio of GDP (BDGDP), inflation (INF), money supply as a percentage ratio of the GDP (M2GDP), and exchange rate to US Dollar (EXR). The selected variables are consistence with empirical studies carried out by (Mukhtar & Zakaria, 28; Laubach, 29; Odionye & Uma, 213; Caporale et al., 213). Panel Unit Root Test and Cointegration analysis The study first employed the panel unit root test to examine the properties of the data. Panel unit root test helps to investigate the presence of a unit root. It is important to note that the first generation of panel unit-root test, which include Hadri (2) and Im et al. (23), assumed cross sectional independence among panel units. However, the second generation test, which includes Smith et al. (24); and Pesaran (27), relax the assumption of cross-sectional independence and allowed for variety of dependence across the different units. In investigating the presence of panel unit root of the 18 sub-saharan countries, the study used Levin, Lin & Chu or LLC (22); Im, Pesaran and Shin or IPS (23); ADF-Fisher Chi-square; PP Fisher Chi-square and the Hadri test. 372
4 Impulse Response Function and Variance Decomposition The impulse response function (IRF) gives information on the response of an endogenous variable to one of the innovations. It traces the effects on present and future values of the endogenous variable of one standard deviation shock to one of the innovations. However, IRF does not show the extent in which the shock in variable affects the other. Hence, the estimation of the variance decomposition (VDC) becomes important. The VDC separates the variation in an endogenous variable into component shocks to the VAR. Hence, VDC offers information on the relative importance of each random innovation in affecting the variables in the VAR. The study also employed inverse roots of AR graph to test the stability of the estimated PVAR and the reliability of the IRF. PVAR is said to be stable when the polynomial roots are within the circle. Panel Vector Autoregressive Model Vector Autoregressive (VAR) methodology is appropriate for this study given the lack of an a priori theory regarding the relationship between the variables of the model. Also the choice of panel VAR approach rest on its suitability in incorporating time variation in the coefficients and in the variance of the shocks (Canova & Ciccarelli, 213). The methodology is based on a framework that permits variables to be entered as endogenous within a system of equations, where the short run dynamic relationships could be subsequently identified (Koutsomanoli-Filippaki & Mamatzakis, 29). The VAR also assist in investigating the underlying causal relationships between the key variables: interest rates and budget deficit. In this way, it is possible to have oneway causality, running from budget deficit to interest rate or vice versa. It is also possible to have a bidirectional one. The Panel VAR is specified as follow: Where: RIR = Real interest rate BDGDP = Budget deficit as a percentage of GDP LOG (EXR) = Log of exchange rate in US Dollar INF = Inflation rate M2GDP = Money Supply as a percentage of GDP = Stochastic error term called impulses or innovations or shocks in VAR. = Country and year respectively 373
5 RESULTS Proceedings of the Australia-Middle East Conference on Business and Social Sciences 216, Dubai Descriptive Statistics Table 1 depicts the results of the descriptive statistics of the variables in the 18 selected sub-saharan Africa countries. The results show that the averages real interest rate (RIR) prevalence in the selected countries is 9 percent while the maximum real interest rate is 4 percent. The budget deficit as a percentage of the GDP has an average of -.14 and a maximum average value of The results also indicate that the average exchange rate is The results further reveal that the average inflation (INF) rate in sub-saharan countries is 11.7 percent while the maximum inflation rate is percent. The money supply as a percentage of the GDP (M2GDP), which represents financial deepening, shows an average of and the maximum level of TABLE 1: DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS Mean St-dev Min Max RIR BDGDP LOG(EXR) INF M2GDP Source: Author s Computation and EViews 9 Output Table 2 reports the outcome of the panel unit root test for each variable. On the bases of the principles of Levin, Lin & Chu or LLC (22); Im, Pesaran and Shin or IPS (23); ADF-Fisher Chi-square; PP Fisher Chi-square and the Hadri test, The results reveal that none of the variables, except M2GDP, possesses unit root or common root at 1% and 5% level of significance. Thus, the variable possesses the properties of stationarity, that is, they are integrated of order zero I[]. As a result of this, the issue of testing for panel cointegration would not be relevant for this study.

The panel VAR selection criteria was estimated in bid to determining the optimum lag length to be adopted in estimating the panel VAR (Anetor et al., 216). All the information criteria, that is, the Sequential modifies LR test statistics (LR), Final prediction error (FPE), Akaike information criterion (AIC), Schwarz information criterion (SC), and the Haanan-quinn information criteria (HQ), suggest the optimum lag length of 1.

Figure 1 shows the IRFs derived from the estimated panel VAR equations above. The horizontal axis of the IRFs indicates the number of periods that have passed after the impulse has been given. The vertical axis, on the other hand, measures the responses of the variables. It is important to emphasize that explanation will be 375
7 focused on the response of the real interest rate (RIR) due to the shocks in other variables. Panel A IRF depicts the response of RIR to a shock in budget deficit as a percentage of GDP (BDGDP) in the period of 1 years. It shows that a shock in BDGDP results in a negative impact on RIR in the first-five period and subsequently produces neutral effect on RIR as shown by the graph i.e. lying on the origin. It can be inferred from this results that budget deficits in sub-saharan Africa countries have negative impact on the interest rate in the short-run (Dvorný, 26) and subsequently have no effect on the interest rate in the long-run (Evans, 1987; Kormendi & Protopapadakis, 24; Pandit, 25; Mukhtar & Zakaria, 28). Panel B shows that a one percent innovation in exchange rate LOG(EXR) produces a positive effects on real interest rate (RIR). This suggests that currency appreciation in sub-saharan Africa countries give rise to increase in interest rate. In the same vein, Panel C indicates that a shock in inflation lead to rise in interest rate. Panel D reveals that a one percent innovation in M2GDP results in a positive effects in RIR.

The results are appears consistence with the IRFs outcomes. For instance, a cursory look at the BDGDP trend vis-à-vis the RIR shows that an upsurge of BDGDP results in slight negative respond in RIR. However, a comparative of LOG(EXR), INF, and D(M2GDP) with the trend in RIR is similar, that is, they almost have the pattern of movement. These patterns of movement suggest a positive relationship.

11 Table 4 depicts the variance decompositions (VDCs), which shed more light to the IRFs results. The results shows that 1.2% of budget deficit (BDGDP) forecast error variance of interest rate (RIR) after ten year period, while exchange rate (LOG(EXR)) accounts for 1% of the variation in RIR. In the case of inflation (INF), the VDCs report reveals that INF accounts for about 2% variation in RIR, while money supply (D(M2GDP)) accounts for just.1%. This implies that the predominant source of variation of RIR in sub-saharan Africa countries is INF follow by BDGDP. TABLE 4: VARIANCE DECOMPOSITION OF REAL INTEREST RATE (RIR) S.E. RIR BDGDP LOG(EXR) INF D(M2GDP) Source: Author s Computation using EViews 9 Table 5 depicts the panel VAR granger causality test. The outcome of the test reveals that budget deficit (BDGDP) does not granger cause the interest rate (RIR) because the p-value =.1923 exceeds.5. Thus, the null hypothesis that BDGDP does not granger cause RIR cannot be rejected. In the same vein, the p-value of exchange rate (LOG(EXR)) is also greater than.5, which implies that the null hypothesis that LOG(EXR) does not granger cause RIR cannot be rejected. However, inflation (INF) has a p-value =.77, which is less than.5. This outcome suggests that INF is significant. Hence, the null hypothesis that INF does not granger cause RIR is rejected. This outcome further suggests that there is a unidirectional causality between INF and RIR that is, INF causes RIR. The panel VAR granger causality test further indicate that money supply (D(M2GDP)) does not granger cause RIR. These results substantiated the outcomes of the IRFs and VDCs, particularly the VDCs, that inflation is a key determinant of interest rates in the sub-saharan Africa countries. 38

The outcome of the panel VAR analysis, in terms of IRFs, VDCs, and causality, revealed some interesting findings. From the IRFs, it was found that the interest rate initially responded negatively to budget deficit and subsequently, there was a neutral reaction of interest rate to budget deficit. It was also noted that interest rate reacted positively to exchange rate. The same applies to inflation and money supply, interest rate responded positively to money supply and interest rate. The VDCs, however, showed that inflation rate accounts more for the variation in interest rate vis-à-vis other variables. The panel VAR granger causality test revealed that inflation mainly granger cause interest rate. This, therefore implies that inflation rate provide much explanation for interest rate. 381
