Book excerpt: The Regulatory Reform Technical Assistance Project seeks to increase private financing and management of infrastructure within competitive market structures in sectors including toll roads, transport, power, natural gas distribution, telecommunications, water supply, and wastewater treatment. Achieving this objective will help Colombia to improve the quantity and quality of its infrastructure services through the development of an effective policy, regulatory framework, and adequate practices. The project will finance studies, consulting services, and training and equipment; ensure a consistent and effective legal and regulatory framework, including the environmental regulatory framework; and promote private participation and competition by addressing specific issues and removing constraints. The privatization component will identify and develop projects for potential private participation, structure deals, design model bidding documents and implement demonstration projects in priority sectors; develop models to make bidding procedures efficient and transparent; help develop institutional capacity within sector agencies to structure projects suitable for private participation; prepare environmental audits and evaluations for existing installations identified as having significant environmental impact; and carry out marketing and information dissemination activities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China is in the throes of two transitions: from a command economy to a market-based one and from a rural, agricultural society to an urban, industrial one. So far, both transitions have been spectacularly successful. China is the fastest-growing economy in the world, with per capita incomes more than quadrupling since 1978, achieving in two generations what took other countries centuries. Although swift growth and structural change have resolved many problems, they also have created new challenges: employment insecurity, growing inequality, stubborn poverty, mounting environmental pressures, rising costs of food self-sufficiency, and periods of macroeconomic instability stemming from incomplete reforms. Unmet, these challenges could undermine the sustainability of growth, and China's promise could fade. China 2020, a seven-volume set, examines China's recent history, where it is today, and the path it should follow during the first two decades of the 21st century. The volume in the set entitled, Old Age Security: Pension Reform in China highlights two severe difficulties with China's current pension system: the urgent and immediate problem of the pension burden placed on state-owned enterprises, and the longer-term predicament arising from a rapidly aging population. State enterprises inherited heavy pension obligations from the central planning era. With the transition to a market economy, employment in the state enterprise sector is declining, while the number of pensioners is rising rapidly. The study recommends a unified pension system that includes both mandatory funded individual accounts and a social insurance scheme. It also endorses a sustainable contribution rate that attaches considerable importance to long-term financial viability (more than 60 years) and examines the risks associated with low compliance rates and low interest rates.

This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The World Bank Group (WBG) has the potential to improve the contribution of extractive industries (EI) to sustainable development and poverty reduction. However, this report by the WBG's operations evaluation departments finds that although its EI projects have produced positive economic and financial results, it has not been successful in ensuring compliance to environmental and social safeguards. The paper examines the World Bank, the International Finance Corporation and Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency, to assess their performance in moving away from a focus on economic benefits towards sustainable development, addressing the governance challenges associated with resource-rich countries, and mitigating environmental and social costs of the extractive industry.
