The paper presents evidence supporting the existence of a stable money demand relationship for Germany plus a core group of countries—France, Belgium, Denmark, Luxembourg and the Netherlands—that have not realigned their parities against the deutschmark since at least 1987. The predictive power of the core ERM aggregate for French and German inflation is also examined; it is shown that the ERM aggregate is a better predictor of German inflation than the German monetary aggregate alone. Thus, the ERM money supply is a useful indicator for German monetary policy, even if the latter only focuses on achieving domestic inflation targets.
The implementation of online banking in Indonesia is in line with the increasing of mobile device users who have become a part of people's lifestyle, hence online banking offers easiness to access on banking services. This study is to examine risk mapping on the implementation online banking using ERM approach, including risk mitigation strategies for identified risks. This research was conducted at XYZ Bank who has implemented online banking. The results of this study find 55 potential risks. Some of it identified risks related to bank system security such as vulnerability to viruses, malware, hacking, also access information by an unauthorized person. Risk mitigation strategies applied by XYZ Bank is mostly done by managing the risk because the implementation online banking is still on the development process, and the Bank remains optimistic with the future prospect of online banking by staying with government regulations. ; The implementation of online banking in Indonesia is in line with the increasingof mobile device users who have become a part of people's lifestyle, hence onlinebanking offers easiness to access on banking services.

Corporate and government organizations can use electronic records as an important strategic resource, if the records are managed properly. In addition to meeting legal requirements, electronic records can play a vital role in the management and operation of an organization's activities. Corporate America is facing challenges in managing electronic records, and so too is the U.S. Air Force (USAF). The deployed environment is particularly problematic for electronic records management (ERM). This research, thus, investigates ERM in the deployed environment to identify and characterize the barriers faced by USAF personnel who deployed to locations supporting Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. This investigation was conducted through a qualitative approach, drawing much of its rich data from in-depth interviews. An exploratory case study was designed using a socio-technical framework and inductive analysis was used to proceed from particular facts to general conclusions. The analysis revealed 15 barriers to ERM. All 15 barriers were determined to exist throughout the entire records lifecycle and were categorized based on common overarching themes. This research reveals some unique barriers contained within the context of a deployed location, while also showing that the barriers are similar to known ERM challenges.
The paper aims to highlight the main difficulties on the monetary path towards the euro zone experienced by Emerging Europe. Emerging European Economies (EEEs), EU members, adopted either double shift or smooth transition monetary approach towards the euro zone. Double shift assumes changes from floating exchange rate regimes (ERRs) to the ERM II target zone and, finally, monetary union as a rigid ERR. The smooth transition is practiced by economies with mainly rigid ERRs before the ERM II entrance and, at the end, again rigid ERR of a monetary union. Despite chosen monetary path towards the euro zone, crucial difficulties or aggravating factors could be identified in the form of real exchange rate appreciation due to productivity growth or capital inflows. A reconciliation of inflation and exchange rate target zone is extremely complex, at the same time striving not to jeopardize the real convergence. What is stressed here is the vicious cycle between real and nominal convergence as the reason why the ERM II target should be regarded as a "waiting room" not as a "training room" in the pre-EMU phase.
The politically and legally complicated character of the EU Eastern Enlargement heavily influenced the conflict between the legal and economic rationality underlying the construction of the EMR-II. This makes the ERM-II vulnerable to currency crises and creates conditions for a widespread currency and asset substitution in the accession countries. As a result, the required participation of all accession countries in the ERM-II imposes unnecessary costs on the whole enlargement process. The costs could be avoided if the EU adopted a more flexible approach to the enlargement of its monetary union, allowing for an individual path of adopting the euro in each accession country depending on the country's economic conditions.
