How the Macroeconomic Environment and Investment Climate Have Affected the Manufacturing Sector

Varela, Gonzalo; Ghosh, Swati; Rahardha, Sjamsu (2012-09)

The performance of Indonesia's manufacturing sector has lagged over the past decade. This is seen in the decline in growth after the Asian financial crisis, by the sector's decline relative to other sectors within the economy, and relative to countries in the region. This note documents the effects of the challenging macro and external environment on the profits of manufacturing firms, and on the uncertainty they face, and argues that these adverse conditions partially explain the stagnation of the sector in the past decade. The changes in incentives appear to have particularly affected labor-intensive sectors, with important consequences for job creation. Policies to promote growth in the manufacturing sector should aim at alleviating pressures on manufacturing costs by: (i) reducing rigidities in the market for labor; (ii) promoting competition in the market for services; and ...

Designing Effective National Programs to Improve Industrial Energy Efficiency

Liu, Feng; Tromop, Robert (2016-03)

This guidance note, about Industrial energy efficiency is closely linked to the economic competitiveness of countries with significant manufacturing bases and to the energy security of countries that rely heavily on imported energy. For individual enterprises, improving energy efficiency strengthens the bottom line, often reducing direct energy costs by 10 to 30 percent Industry accounts for approximately 30 percent of global final energy consumption and a similar share of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Its total energy intensity could be reduced by about 25 percent by modernizing technology, particularly in developing countries. The main barriers to achieving broad energy efficiency gains are insufficient information; difficulty obtaining financing; and, in many developing countries, insufficient capacity for identifying, preparing, and delivering projects. A welldesigned national ...

Out of School and Out of Work : Risk and Opportunities for Latin America’s Ninis

de Hoyos, Rafael; Rogers, Halsey; Székely, Miguel (2016-01-19)

One in five youth aged 15 to 24 in Latin America is out of school and not working (ninis). Nearly 60 percent of ninis in the region are from poor or vulnerable households in the bottom 40 percent of the income distribution, and 66 percent are women. At the same time, it is men who account for the growth in 2 million ninis during the last 20 years. The study undertakes a comprehensive diagnosis quantifying the problem, develops a conceptual framework identifying the determinants of youths' choices, uses all the available data to test the theoretical implications, and reviews the evidence regarding interventions that have proven effective in keeping youth in school and helping them become employed. The findings of the study offer policy makers in the region with options to provide opportunities to the region's 20 million ninis.
