dc.description.abstract	In 2010, 25 water and sewerage projects with private participation reached financial or contractual closure in seven low and middle-income countries, involving investment commitments of US$1.8 billion. In addition, a second partial divestiture of a water utility in China raised US$516 million, bringing total investment commitments for 2010 to US$2.3 billion. That investment remained in the US$2 billion to US$3 billion range of the last six years. However, by number of projects, private activity in 2010 declined by 34 percent compared with 2009, reaching the lowest level in the last 15 years. The lower activity in China accounted for most of this decline. Overall, investment was highly concentrated in a few projects. The three largest projects (one water treatment plant in Mexico, a wastewater treatment plant in Egypt, and a partial divestiture of a water utility in China) accounted for 76 percent of investments.	en

The Early Labor Market Impacts of COVID-19 in Developing Countries : Evidence from High-Frequency Phone Surveys

Khamis, Melanie; Prinz, Daniel; Newhouse, David; Palacios-Lopez, Amparo; Pape, Utz; Weber, Michael (2021-01)

The economic crisis caused by the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic sharply reduced mobility and economic activity, disrupting the lives of people around the globe. This brief presents estimates on the crisis’ impact on labor markets in thirty-nine countries based on high-frequency phone survey (HFPS) data collected between April and July 2020. Workers in these countries experienced severe labor market disruptions following the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. Thirty-four percent of respondents reported stopping work, twenty percent of wage workers reported lack of payment for work performed, nine percent reported job changes due to the pandemic, and sixty-two percent reported income loss in their household. Measures of work stoppage and income loss in the HFPS are generally consistent with gross domestic products (GDP) growth projections in Latin America and the Caribbean but not in ...

World Development Report 2020 : Trading for Development in the Age of Global Value Chains

World Bank (2020)

Global value chains (GVCs) powered the surge of international trade after 1990 and now account for almost half of all trade. This shift enabled an unprecedented economic convergence: poor countries grew rapidly and began to catch up with richer countries. Since the 2008 global financial crisis, however, the growth of trade has been sluggish and the expansion of GVCs has stalled. Meanwhile, serious threats have emerged to the model of trade-led growth. New technologies could draw production closer to the consumer and reduce the demand for labor. And conflicts among large countries could lead to a retrenchment or a segmentation of GVCs. This book examines whether there is still a path to development through GVCs and trade. It concludes that technological change is, at this stage, more a boon than a curse. GVCs can continue to boost growth, create better jobs, and reduce poverty provided that developing countries implement deeper reforms to promote GVC participation; industrial countries pursue open, predictable policies; and all countries revive multilateral cooperation.

Lao People's Democratic Republic Public Expenditure and Financial Accountability Assessment

World Bank (2019-03-27)

Efficient utilization of overall resources through sound public financial management (PFM), good governance and oversight are priorities in the Lao PDR government’s reform agenda. The strengthening of PFM systems is fundamental to the successful development of Lao PDR and has been center stage in the Government’s policy agenda. There has been slow progress since 2010 in strengthening the quality of PFM systems and processes and there has also been a pause in the PFM reform agenda since 2013. This Public Expenditure and Financial Accountability (PEFA) Lao PDR 2018 is intended to assess the current state of PFM in Lao PDR. This PEFA uses the upgraded 2016 methodology that has more demanding PFM standards with new calibration and scoring criteria. While it is expected that the assessment generates relatively low scores and reveal severe PFM performance gaps. The Government expects that the narrative ...
