OBS

The format of what would become the Shearwater International Air Show or SIAS began to crystallize in 1981. Obviously, it could not compete with bigger shows playing to larger population centres. So, if the biggest was not possible, SIAS aimed to be the best. The show's search for excellence was rewarded by many successes; air displays equaling any in the country and over 75 different static aircraft from as many as seven countries. In addition, over 80 high-quality ground exhibits were displayed, including such as an Iraqi Scud missile and the weapon which brought it down, the US Army's Patriot System. Efforts to raise the Nova Scotia International Air Show(NSIAS) from the ashes were unsuccessful in 1996, but a few dedicated believers took on the task to try again for 1997 and were more than rewarded for their efforts. NSIAS 97 was a co-production of the three levels of government, the private sector and the military in the Atlantic Region. A lot of hard work, negotiations and good will produced a first class show that had all the trade marks of past SIAS events and then some. With a superb two-day attendance and an overall economic impact exceeding 14 million dollars, Shearwater and Nova Scotia were clearly on the air show map.

These are funds that oil producing countries have paid into their accounts with Western banks, usually for a short term. As oil is invoiced and paid in US dollars the term ’petrodollars’ indicates the source of these funds. [Klein, Gerald. Dictionary of Banking. Pitman Publishing, 1995].

DEF

Devises en dollars provenant de la vente du pétrole par les pays producteurs.

CONT

Fin 1973, les pays de l'O.P.E.P. (Organisation des pays exportateurs de pétrole) décidèrent le quadruplement du prix du pétrole, ce qui provoqua des déséquilibres importants des paiements courants et accéléra le processus mondial d'inflation. La monnaie de paiement du pétrole étant le dollar [américain], les pays producteurs accumulèrent des créances en dollars [américains] excédant de loin leur capacité d'importation. Ce sont les «pétro-dollars».

Because of this foreign debt situation the government can only achieve the trade surplus by restricting imports through the awarding of import permits and foreign exchange allotments. At this point the civilian government has not granted the military all necessary approvals and any increase in price could jeopardize the finalization of the currency permit for US dollars to pay for the deal.

From 1980 to 1982, the US dollar appreciated 40% on a trade-weighted average basis against 10 major currencies. In evaluating the effect of exogenous exchange-rate movements on inflation, a good rule to follow is that a 10% depreciation of the dollar's real trade-weighted exchange rate causes consumer prices to rise between 1. 50% and 1. 75%.
