Book excerpt: This Peru Country Program Evaluation for the World Bank Group, 2003-2009 is part of IEG s country program evaluation series. To date, IEG s in-depth country evaluations have comprised IEG-WB Country Assistance Evaluations (CAEs) and IEG-IFC Country Impact Reviews (CIRs). Both the CAEs and CIRs have involved comprehensive evaluations of the respective institutions activities in a country. In a pilot approach, this evaluation was prepared by a single IEG team that looked at development interventions across the three WBG institutions. The evaluation draws on WBG documents, external literature, and on interviews with government officials, representatives of the private sector and civil society, nongovernmental organizations, bilateral and multilateral development partners, and Bank, IFC, and MIGA staff in Washington and in Peru. An IEG mission visited Peru in September 2009. IEG also cooperated with the Evaluation Office of the Global Environment Facility that was conducting a parallel evaluation in Peru.

Download or read book New Finance Capital written by Augusto Luis Alcorta and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thesis develops the concept of New Finance Capital (NFC) and defines it as system of related industrial, commercial and banking capital. Affiliates or 'parts' operate in the interest of the 'whole' and as a result obtain 'systemic gains' or 'synergies' unavailable to individual capitals. The achievement of monopoly power in individual industries and the strengthening of overall financial capacity of affiliates are both key elements in the New Finance Capital's strategy.The research then proceeds to operationalise the NFC into that of financial groups and identifies 27 such groupings in the Peruvian economy. These business groupings are mostly controlled by single families and have as members 40% of the largest private domestic firms and all private financial institutions. They account for around 13% of GDP. Although they invest in all sectors, they have a significant share of their capital in the manufacturing industry.In addressing the issue of the 'systemic gains' of these groupings the thesis identifies the increase in the capacity of finance, a reduction in the capital required to control companies, and a saving in the amount of taxes paid as the three most important financial 'synergies' they obtain. Member-banks and insurance companies are crucial to the achievement of these 'synergies'. They allocate a significant proportion of loans to member-firms and they are prepared to take considerable risks for affiliates.The study shows that financial groups locate some member-firms in concentrated and vertically integrated industries which allow for the appropriation of monopoly profits. Monopoly profits provide the additional financing required by members to invest and diversify into other sectors. One important effect of 'systemic' management of finance and the obtention of monopoly profits is that the financial structure of members has a larger proportion of debt relative to equity than non-group firms.The thesis concludes with the observation that Peruvian financial groups have not performed the developmental role of similar organisational forms in countries like Japan or Korea. Although having the financial knowledge and power to diversify into high technology industries Peruvian groups remain in the less dynamic and traditional sectors. Some of the reasons for such impact are then discussed.

Download or read book World Insurance written by Peter Borscheid and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-08-23 with total page 752 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the end of the eighteenth century, the insurance industry has cast a safety net around the world, first in the British Isles and then further afield, irrespective of cultural, political and ideological divides. Unlike previous publications on insurance history, which tend to discuss the development of national markets or individual companies, this book focuses on the creation of networks across borders from the end of the eighteenth century to the present day. Distinguished international economic historians draw upon examples from twenty countries across the continents to demonstrate how what was called the 'British system' of risk management spread out in waves, and describes the forces that made this possible - first among them migration from Europe and international trade. The book explores the economic, political, religious, and cultural obstacles that blocked the path of this European invention - not only religious law and traditional practices, but above all protectionism, inflation, and political ideologies. It examines the process of transformation through which modern insurance supplanted traditional forms of protection against perils and risks and was able to keep on offering new ways of dealing with the risks of modern life. As well as discussing primary insurance, it also considers the role played by reinsurance, without which the losses arising out of today's natural and man-made disasters would be immeasurably greater. Finally, taking modern-day disaster scenarios as examples, the book shows just what the limits of insurability are and what risks worldwide networks entail.

Download or read book Privatization in Latin America written by Alberto Chong and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2005-03-15 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Privatization is under attack. Beginning in the 1980s, thousands of failing state-owned enterprises worldwide have been turned over to the private sector. But public opinion has turned against privatization. A large political backlash has been brewing for some time, infused by accusations of corruption, abuse of market power, and neglect of the poor. What is the real record of privatization and are the criticisms justified? 'Privatization in Latin America' evaluates the empirical evidence on privatization in a region that has witnessed an extensive decline in the state's share of production over the past 20 years. The book is a compilation of recent studies that provide a comprehensive analysis of the record of and accusations against privatization, with important recommendations for the future. Seven countries are investigated: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru. This book will be vital to anyone interested in the privatization debate but especially to those involved in civil service reform, corporate governance, economic policy, finance, and anticorruption efforts. 'Privatization is important but controversial. While economists typically favor it, others are skeptical. This book provides strong scientific evidence that privatization has been beneficial for many Latin American countries, although some privatizations failed and some groups in society lost out. As usual, the devil is in the details: how privatization is carried out and what reforms accompany it are crucial to its success. The book is definitely an invaluable contribution to the privatization debate.' --Oliver Hart, Andrew E. Furer Professor of Economics, Harvard University

Book excerpt: Este libro ha sido concebido con la vocación de servir como material didáctico. Para ello, se analiza de manera pedagógica, el complejo entorno en que se desenvuelven las entidades financieras, y las herramientas que les puede aportar el marketing para sobrevivir en un mercado maduro y sujeto a innumerables retos. Los autores exponen de manera sencilla y comprensible tanto las estrategias como las tácticas de marketing que requieren las empresas del sector financiero para ser competitivas. El lector encontrará en estas páginas ejemplos e ilustraciones de bancos de países de distintos continentes, y podrá conocer la evolución que ha experimentado el marketing en las entidades financieras, pasando de un enfoque de relaciones públicas, a la promoción de ventas y al uso de la publicidad. En esta evolución, al igual que ha sucedido en otros sectores, la crisis financiera mundial ha provocado que los bancos hayan tomado conciencia de la utilidad del marketing para colocar al cliente en el centro de su modelo de negocio. Como consecuencia, este libro nace con el ánimo de llenar el vacío relativo al conocimiento del uso efectivo del marketing en este sector. Y por ello, en esta obra se expone el proceso estratégico y operativo que deben utilizar las instituciones financieras para satisfacer las necesidades de sus segmentos objetivos. En su interior se desarrollan también, de manera armónica, los conceptos prácticos y empíricos que pueden ser usados tanto por estudiantes de grado y de postgrado, como por profesionales interesados en conocer de qué forma utilizar el marketing de adquisición y de retención en el sector financiero. Este conocimiento es esencial para instituciones que enfrentan condiciones de mercado de creciente complejidad y competitividad. En donde la aparición de nuevos actores (principalmente empresas tecnológicas), ha comenzado a amenazar líneas de negocio hasta ahora exclusivas de los bancos tradicionales.
Download or read book The Rise and Fall of Global Microcredit written by Milford Bateman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the mid-1980s the international development community helped launch what was to quickly become one of the most popular poverty reduction and local economic development policies of all time. Microcredit, the system of disbursing tiny micro-loans to the poor to help them to establish their own income-generating activities, was initially highly praised and some were even led to believe that it would end poverty as we know it. But in recent years the microcredit model has been subject to growing scrutiny and often intense criticism. The Rise and Fall of Global Microcredit shines a light on many of the fundamental problems surrounding microcredit, in particular, the short- and long-term impacts of dramatically rising levels of microdebt. Developed in collaboration with UNCTAD, this book covers the general policy implications of adverse microcredit impacts, as well as gathering together country-specific case studies from around the world to illustrate the real dynamics, incentives and end results. Lively and provocative, The Rise and Fall of Global Microcredit is an accessible guide for students, academics, policymakers and development professionals alike.

Download or read book Access to Justice in Microfinance written by Yasmin Olteanu and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-28 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes the whole path to justice: from the decision to enter the path to justice until justice is achieved and applies a mixed-methods approach using quantitative and qualitative data. It deliberately takes the consumer’s perspective and, beyond the scope of existing studies, does not only take into account the existence of mechanisms and forums to claim justice, but their appropriateness for vulnerable target groups. The book sheds more light on microfinance and other vulnerable clients who, due to existing barriers, cannot access grievance, redress or complaint mechanisms. Eliminating these access barriers would cater to the achievement of the 16th Sustainable Development Goal by increasing vulnerable consumers’ Access to Justice. This book will be of interest to academics researching access to justice, researchers focusing on consumer protection issues in developing countries, and practitioners working in financial inclusion.
Download or read book The Report Peru 2016 written by Oxford Business Group and published by Oxford Business Group. This book was released on 2016-02-11 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the decade to 2014 Peru became one of the fastest-growing economies in Latin America, with an average annual real GDP growth rate of 6.2%, second only to Panama (8.2%), and well ahead of the Latin American and Caribbean average (3.4%). The strong pace of economic growth during a decade-long, commodities-led economic boom tripled Peruvian GDP and led to a major reduction in the poverty rate, which fell from nearly half the population (49.2%) in 2006 to under a quarter (23.9%) in 2013. However, the end of the commodities cycle saw GDP growth slow to an estimated 2.5% in 2015, according to the IMF. In 2016 the mineral-rich Andean country faces some uncertainty, with general elections scheduled for April 2016, the occurrence of the El Niño weather pattern and continued external headwinds. Even so, a recovery is expected to begin, with growth forecast to reach 3.3% in 2016, on the back of increased mining activity and continued public spending on major infrastructure projects.
