Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latvia stands out as the East European country hardest hit by the global financial crisis; it lost approximately 25 percent of its GDP between 2008 and 2010. It was also the most overheated economy before the crisis. But in the second half of 2010, Latvia returned to economic growth. How did this happen so quickly? Current Latvian Prime Minister Valdis Dombrovskis, who shepherded Latvia through the crisis, and renowned author Anders slund discuss why the Latvian economy became so overheated; why an IMF and European Union stabilization program was needed; what the Latvian government did to resolve the financial crisis and why it made these choices; and what the outcome has been. This book offers a rare insider's look at how a national government responded to a global financial crisis, made tough choices, and led the country back to economic growth.

The year 2003 was selected, for it maight be interesting to compare the economic situation of the country just before the enlargement. This time interval was selected, since there are scarcely empirical collections and evaluations about this topic. Therefore, the execution supplies an approach and remarks, which are not present in this form yet. The goal of this work is to confer an overview of this specific topic. The paper is subdiveded into four main areas regarding Latvia?'s economic development: the economic competitiveness of the Baltic State, integration into the EU, national economy developments and foreign trade policy. Of particular importance are the several comparisons with selective countries; most of all the other Baltic States (Estonia and Lithuania), and Germany. Attention should also be paid to the current situation, analyses of relationship between trade and investments in Latvia. Moreover, I will make an attempt of a final consideration. The analysis is supported by a review of global trends as well as several figures and tables. Thereby most sources were afforded by the Ministry of Economics Republic of Latvia, the Bank of Latvia as well as Central Statistical Bureau of Latvia.
Download or read book Latvia s Transition to a Market Economy written by M. Nissinen and published by Springer. This book was released on 1998-11-22 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The postcommunist transitions to a market economy raised doubts about the political sustainability of an economic reform under democracy. At the same time, they turned the attention to the centrality of political factors in economic policy-making. Latvia has succeeded in proceeding into the consolidation phase of its market reforms while remaining committed to both political pluralism and macroeconomic austerity. Even if politics were not treated as a mere constraint, the basic question is still: how are the government's adjustment choices modified in the political process?
Download or read book Republic of Latvia written by International Monetary Fund. European Dept. and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2017-07-07 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper discusses potential growth and its drivers for Latvia 6 years after the growth turnaround and presents projections for the medium term. As the labor force is projected to decline, implementation of policies to increase investment and support total factor productivity (TFP) growth will be essential to ensure income convergence going forward. The level of potential growth has direct consequences for Latvia’s convergence path. Latvia’s GDP per capita was about 62 percent of the EU-15 average in 2015. A better understanding of potential output is important for policy setting. For example, an estimate of the output gap enters the fiscal reaction function through the cyclical adjustment of the fiscal balance and therefore directly influences policy makers’ assessments of whether fiscal policy should respond to deviations from potential. Potential output is an elusive concept and can be defined in various ways. Potential output is generally defined according to the Okun concept as the level of output consistent with stable inflation, while short-run deviations of actual from potential output, due to the slow adjustment of wages and prices to shocks, reflect the output gap—or economic slack.

This book was released on 2016-06-16 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this paper is to examine selected issues related to Latvia’s economic development. Latvia experienced a large macroeconomic adjustment in the aftermath of the crisis in 2007. The adjustment was characterized by internal devaluation via a combination of wage restraint and productivity gains. Latvia’s creditless recovery has taken unusually long to turn compared to international experience. Although lack of credit has not undermined recovery so far, support from the financial sector will be crucial for its continuation going forward. Emphasis on resuscitating credit growth is key to maintaining recovery. Focus should be on facilitating access to credit for small- and medium-sized enterprises and first-time borrowers, where market failures are the largest.

This book was released on 2016-06-16 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper focuses on the key issues related to the economy of Latvia. Growth picked up somewhat last year despite a weak external environment. GDP growth rose to 2.7 percent, up about 1⁄4 percent over the previous year. However, growth is expected to slow slightly in 2016 to 21⁄2 percent. While Latvia continues to make steady economic progress, a key challenge will be to generate the growth necessary to sustain the pace of income convergence with Western Europe. Structural reforms will be required to improve state-owned enterprise governance and strengthen the business environment, upgrade public infrastructure, and modernize legal systems.

This book was released on 2019-08-26 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2017 in the subject Economics - Finance, grade: 8.9, SBS Swiss Business School (BA School of Business and Finance/ SBS Swiss Business School), language: English, abstract: This work describes the great influence of the European Union (EU) funding on a variety of economic sectors and functions of funds. It displays some of the macroeconomic statistics in relation to their contribution to the economic development agenda, evaluates the level of awareness of EU funding opportunities, and provides informed assumptions of the future without knowing the EU budget allocation strategy and its distribution between the target sectors. The author elaborates on a short history of the early stages of the funds absorption of the EU. Furthermore, the work gives an insight regarding the existing financing mechanisms, a closer description of the most common source of financial aid to small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), and an evaluation of future prospects of EU funding. The two questions of interest for the study are: "Is society really aware of the broad opportunities provided?" and "What will happen to Latvian economy after the end of the last planning period - is the implementation of these funds well-considered and utilized to its best ability?" Nowadays, a noteworthy portion of Latvian citizens, both natural persons and owners of SMEs, have promising business ideas, but lacke funding and knowledge of ways to acquire it. Moreover, the current EU funds planning period will come to an end in 2020 without a clear vision of future EU stimulus towards building competitive and inclusive economy and their budgetary distribution.
