The term Stability is associated with firmness in position, performance and

excessive volatility in exchange rates and financial markets (International Monetary
Fund 2012).

A well-known definition of sustainability which emphasizes its economic

motion, comes from the Bruntland Report (World Commission on Environment and
Development 1987). It says that development that meets the needs of the present
without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs
deserves the label of sustainability.
