dc.description.abstract	A competitive city is a city that successfully facilitates its firms and industries to create jobs, raise productivity, and increase the incomes of citizens over time. Worldwide, improving the competitiveness of cities is a pathway to eliminating extreme poverty and to promoting shared prosperity. The primary source of job creation has been the growth of private sector firms, which have typically accounted for around 75 percent of job creation. Thus city leaders need to be familiar with the factors that help to attract, to retain, and to expand the private sector. This document aims to analyze what makes a city competitive and how more cities can become competitive.	en

Global Economic Prospects, January 2023

World Bank (2023-01-10)

Global growth is projected to decelerate sharply, reflecting synchronous policy tightening aimed at containing very high inflation, worsening financial conditions, and continued disruptions from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Investment growth in emerging market and developing economies (EMDEs) is expected to remain below its average rate of the past two decades. Further adverse shocks could push the global economy into recession. Small states are especially vulnerable to such shocks because of the reliance on external trade and financing, limited economic diversification, elevated debt, and susceptibility to natural disasters. Against this backdrop, it is critical that EMDE policy makers ensure that any fiscal support is focused on vulnerable groups, that inflation expectations remain well anchored, and that financial systems continue to be resilient. Urgent global and national efforts are also needed to mitigate the risks of global recession and debt distress in EMDEs, and to support a major increase in EMDE investment.

Rapport sur le développement dans le monde 2017 : Loi et gouvernance

World Bank Group (2017-01-30)

L’édition 2017 du Rapport sur le développement dans le monde aborde les questions fondamentales suivantes : pourquoi des politiques prometteuses sont-elles souvent conçues sans être adoptées ou mises en œuvre ? Et pour quelles raisons, lorsque ces politiques sont mises en œuvre, échouent-elles souvent à générer les résultats attendus en matière de sécurité, de croissance et de lutte contre les inégalités ? Par ailleurs, pourquoi certaines mesures politiques qui s’avèrent être inefficaces ou mal conçues perdurent-elles?
