Download or read book Fiji written by Asian Development Bank and published by Asian Development Bank. This book was released on 2015-11-01 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 2010 onward, Fiji witnessed one of its strongest spells of economic growth since independence. Extreme poverty is in the single digits, but nearly a third of the population is unable to meet basic needs. Fiji thus faces two major challenges: to create a business environment that can attract more private investment to help sustain its growth momentum, and to make that growth inclusive so that all of Fiji can benefit. This country diagnostic study undertaken by the Asian Development Bank identifies the critical constraints to inclusive growth in Fiji and proposes policy options for addressing them.
Download or read book Reinvigorating Growth in Belize written by Dmitry Vasilyev and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2019-02-04 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1990s and early 2000s, Belize grew faster than its regional peers. By the mid-2000s, however, economic growth had slowed down to the regional average. A vicious circle of low growth and increasing public debt has been clouding Belize’s outlook. This paper applies a growth diagnostic approach based on the Hausmann-Rodrik-Velasco framework to investigate the main growth constraints and opportunities for higher growth in Belize. Improvements in access to finance and in the business climate could unlock Belize’s strengths.

This book was released on 2018-09-30 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Trade integration can play a much larger role in boosting shared prosperity. The current focus on trade tensions threatens to obscure the great untapped benefits possible from further trade reform. The opportunities provided by information technology and other fundamental changes in the global economy are yet to be reflected in modern areas of trade policy, such as services and electronic commerce. Greater openness in these areas would promote competition, lift productivity, and raise living standards. In many other areas, such as the rural economy, smaller enterprises, and women’s economic empowerment, trade-related reforms are important particularly to foster more inclusive growth. Harnessing flexible approaches to WTO negotiations may be the key to reinvigorating global trade reform. Despite the benefits at stake—and with important exceptions such as the WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement—trade reform has lagged since the early 2000s. For much of this period, governments focused their efforts in the WTO on a single negotiating approach. Now, as groups of WTO members pursue joint initiatives in several areas, attention is turning to how other negotiating approaches—including some used effectively in the past—can be leveraged so that trade once again plays its full role in driving increased global economic prosperity. Building greater, more durable openness—this paper’s focus—should be part of a broader effort to strengthen and reinvest in the global trading system. The system of global trade rules that has nurtured unprecedented economic growth across multiple generations faces tensions. Though only recently brought to the fore, those tensions are rooted in issues that have been left unresolved for too long. Governments need to promptly address outstanding questions involving, for example, the WTO dispute system and the reach of subsidy disciplines. Cooperative action to secure greater openness—an imperative in its own right—could also help to resolve these"

Download or read book Reinvigorating Workplace Pensions written by Great Britain: Department for Work and Pensions and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2012-11-22 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The UK's pensions system is need of reform for two primary reasons. Firstly, the UK has an aging population and secondly, working age people are not saving enough to meet their expectations of income on retirement. The Government has already begun to set in train a series of reforms. In particular it has brought forward plans to increase State Pension age; set out proposals to create a single-tier State Pension to provide a firm foundation for saving for retirement; and introduced automatic enrolment into workplace pensions. We do, though, also need to ensure that those people saving privately for their retirement are doing so in high quality schemes. This strategy sets out the key issues which need to be tackled. The reinvigoration objectives include: increase the amount people are saving in pensions; increase the amount people receive for their savings; enable industry innovation to develop products which will give more certainly about pensions; increase transparency; and ensure the sustainability and stability of the UK pension system.
