The Impact of Financial Account and Capital Account at the Central Bank on the General Price Index of Jordanian Exports for the Period (2000-2013)
Standard figures have a role in the assessment of changes in the prices of commodities, as well
as the figures of agricultural and industrial production and exports. A standard figure can be
defined as a statistical figure which is used in measuring the relative change in the prices or
quantities of a certain phenomenon from one time to another, or from one place to another.
Standard figures are used in statistical applications in research, in which the various conditions
of the different countries are evaluated through the study of the several variables in the future.
This study aims at exploring the nature financial and capital accounts at the central bank of
Jordan, as well as identifying their effects on the standard figure of the prices of Jordanian
exports for the period (2000-2014), by employing the SPSS software and the t-test. The results
of the study showed the existence of a positive correlation (? =0.05) between the financial
account and the standard figure of the prices of Jordanian exports for the period (2000-2014) ,
which applies also to the capital account and its correlation to the standard figure of the prices
of Jordanian exports for the period (2000-2014). The value of the total correlation coefficient
was (0.744) , and the variable of the financial account has an effect and a high predictable
power concerning the standard figure of the prices of Jordanian exports for the period (2000-
2014), and the absence of an effect and a predictable power for the financial account on the
standard figure of the prices of the Jordanian exports for the period (2000-2014)>
