Download or read book The Impact of the Global Crisison South Eastern Europe written by Mr.Emidio Cocozza and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2011-12-01 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper analyzes the impact of the global crisis on six South-Eastern European countries. The main objective is to compare macro-financial conditions and policies in the run-up to the crisis as well as to compare the policy responses to it, so as to highlight, inter alia, possible country-specific constraints. While sharing a common pre-crisis pattern of strong capital inflows and robust growth, a key difference in the conduct of macroeconomicpolicies is that some countries adopted expansionary (and procyclical) fiscal policies. These moves exacerbated external vulnerabilities and compromised the ability to discretionarily use the fiscal instrument in acountercyclical fashion.

Download or read book Barriers to Trade in Services in the CEFTA Region written by Borko Handjiski and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2011-07-05 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Central European Free Trade Agreement (CEFTA) was concluded among the countries of Southeastern Europe with the aim to promote further trade integration. The agreement states the objective to 'expand trade in goods and services and foster investment by means of fair, clear, stable and predictable rules.' While recent literature on trade in the CEFTA region has focused on analyzing trade in goods, the purpose of the paper is to identify the remaining barriers to trade in services among the CEFTA countries. The paper presents: (i) the economic and trade importance of the service sector in CEFTA countries, and (ii) the existing barriers to trade in services between CEFTA countries, with a focus on four sectors: construction, land transport, legal and information technology (ICT) services. The analysis shows that the export of services has a significant share in CEFTA countries. These countries have achieved considerable market openness, mostly in the context of pursuing WTO and EU accession. Nonetheless, obstacles to trade in services remain. Some, such as the movement of professional workers, are of general nature, while others are sector specific.

Download or read book Investment Policy Review written by United Nations Conference on Trade and Development and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Investment Policy Reviews (IPRs) of UNCTAD help countries improve their investment policies and familiarise Governments and the international private sector with an individual country's investment environment. The IPR of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, initiated at the request of the Macedonian Government, analyses FDI trends and their impact on the host economy, provides a detailed evaluation of the legal and regulatory framework for investment, including concrete recommendations to improve it, and presents an overall strategy to attract investment that feeds into a government programme for stimulating investment covering the period 2011 to 2014. The report stresses that during the past decade, the Government has undertaken ambitious reforms to modernise the country, complete the process of transformation into a market economy, and improve the living conditions of the population. However, FDI inflows, though increasing, have so far been low compared to other South-East European countries. Among the factors holding back investment, the most important are outstanding issues in the business and investment environment, including in areas such as access to land and construction permits, as well as employment of foreigners, or implementation of existing legislation, and lack of coordination in policy-making and execution and the ensuing proliferation of insufficiently related and consistent development strategies, competitiveness plans, industrial policies and investment strategies. To meet the Government's double goals of increasing FDI inflows and deepening the benefits derived from them, an overall strategy building on five main pillars is suggested in the IPR, namely: (a) achieving global excellence in the investment framework; (b) creating synergies between FDI and industrial policy; (c) strengthening policy-making in the area of investment and competitiveness; (d) rationalizing the investment promotion effort and (e): ensuring effective policy implementation.
