    Rhetoric Stages in Ustaz Khalid Basalamah's Lecture on Youtube. This research is entitled Rhetoric Stages in Ustaz Khalid Basalamah's Lecture on Youtube. The reason the author chose this title is because this research has never been done at the Islamic University of Riau and the object being carried out has also never been studied by students of the Islamic University of Riau. And Ustadz Khalid Basalamah was able to attract the attention of listeners, so the writer wanted to know the stages used by Ustadz Khalid Basalamah. This research is included in qualitative research using descriptive method. The data collection technique of this research is through documentation. This study uses the theory proposed by Rakhmat (2014), Abidin (2013), Keraf (2015), Morrisan (2014). The results of research on the stages of rhetoric in Ustaz Khalid Basalamah's lecture on Youtube found 40 data. (1) In the invention stage, there are 7 data including 5 evidence indicators and 2 statement indicators. (2) The disposition stage contains 15 data, including 7 preliminary data, 4 content data, and 4 closing data. (3) The Elocutio stage contains 7 data, including 3 asindenton data, 1 paradox data, and 3 hyperbole data. (4) The memory stage contains 6 data, including 3 information storage data and 3 experience data. (5) The Pronontitio stage contains 5 data, the data is included in the rhythm. It can be concluded that Ustaz Khalid Basalamah in the invention stage is more dominant in using evidence. In the disposition stage, the prelude is more dominant using greetings, content is more dominant using arguments, and closing is more dominant using expectations. In the elocutio stage, it is more dominant to use asidentone and hyperbole. In the memory stage, it is more dominant to use the storage of information and experiences. In the pronontitio stage, it is more dominant to use rhythm. Thus, Ustaz Khalid Basalamah has used the five stages of rhetoric

    Financial Development, Economic Growth, and Poverty Reduction

    No full text
    The frequent failure of financial liberalisation efforts in developing countries, and the serious damage which recent financial crises have imposed on these economies, have led to renewed attempts to understand the relationships between financial sector development, economic growth and poverty reduction, and to provide a more robust intellectual foundation on which to design efficient and pro-poor financial sector policies for developing countries. The paper examines the contribution that financial sector development can make to poverty reduction in developing countries. The linkages between financial and economic growth, and between economic growth and poverty reduction, are considered, and some preliminary empirical evidence is presented on these linkages. The paper goes on to argue that financial market imperfections are a key constraint on pro-poor growth, and that public policy directed at the correction of these financial market failures is needed to ensure that financial development contributes effectively to growth and poverty reduction. The final part of the paper examines in some detail the role of financial regulation and supervision policy as a key area for public intervention directed at enhancing the financial sector’s contribution to poverty reduction.

    Financial constraints and productivity growth across the size spectrum: microeconomic evidence from Morocco

    No full text
    To what extent do financial constraints act as conditioning factors on firm productivity? Is this impact different across firm size classes and across sectors and in what way is it different? We explore these issues for Morocco. We use firm level data, taken from two surveys of the World Bank Enterprise Surveys (WES) for Morocco (2004, 2007), to investigate the relationship between two proxies of a firm’s financial constraint (perceived financial constraint as the most serious obstacle and credit constraint) and its productivity growth. The analytical framework assumes a Cobb–Douglas production function for firms where technical progress is not exogenous but depends on financial constraint. Two different econometric estimates are adopted: within estimators and GMM system estimates to address endogeneity and to correct for potential selection, simultaneity and omitted-variable bias (OVB). The estimations using the GMM give results that are consistent with the expectations: they show that each of the two financial constraint proxies has a significant and negative impact on small- and medium-sized firms (i.e. firms with less than 100 workers) but not on large firms (i.e. firms with more than 100 workers). To see whether the main results of the analysis persist (i.e. credit constraints harm small-sized firms more than large-sized firms) several robustness checks are performed. We change the threshold of the separation between small- and large-sized firms from 100 to 50 workers. We keep the threshold at 100 but exclude alternatively small-sized firms that are too small (less than 20 workers) and the large-sized firms that are too large (more than 500 workers). We keep the threshold to 100 and the whole sample but add a control variable which gives the legal status of the firm. Finally, we examine the sensitivity of the results to the sectoral composition of the sample. The main result holds for all sectors except “Wearing apparel”.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
