Boosting Export Performance

World Bank (2021)

Improving Kosovo’s export competitiveness can help to catalyze growth and reduce poverty. As a small economy, Kosovo will benefit from integration, both globally and regionally, to exploit scale economies from access to a larger market. Higher exports will not only contribute to growth and lower current account deficits but can also help heighten productivity due to more innovation and learning by exporting. Exporting firms, which are more competitive, will also be able to create better jobs and economic opportunities for Kosovars. This background note examines export dynamics in Kosovo over the period 2010-19, benchmarking Kosovo against relevant comparator countries. It overviews Kosovo’s trade structure, export dynamics at the firm level, trade policy and regulatory framework, and constraints to trade in goods and services and identifies policy options for consolidating trade ...

Public Expenditure Review of the Education Sector in Jamaica

World Bank (2021-06)

The objective of this public expenditure review (PER) is to analyze the adequacy, efficiency, and equity of public spending on education in Jamaica. These three aspects will be compared to national and international standards, in line with Jamaica’s educational challenges and goals. To this end, Caribbean countries will serve as regional peers; select top performing education systems (Finland and Estonia) will serve as aspirational comparators; and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) member countries, which represents a composite of high-income country systems, will serve as an international comparator. This report uses data from the Ministry of Finance and the Public Service (MOFPS), the Ministry of Education, Youth, and Information (MOEYI), the Statistical Institute of Jamaica, and the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS). The analysis focuses on the ...

Innovation in Payments : Opportunities and Challenges for EMDEs

World Bank; International Monetary Fund (2022)

The global economy is undergoing a rapid digital transformation that is changing many conventional notions about our behavior and preferences. This includes the way in which we, as consumers, as businesses, or in interactions with government, seek out goods and services and pay for them or how we receive money from others or transfer it to family or friends. As the payments industry undergoes radical changes due to digital transformation, users, providers of payment services, and regulators are adapting to the new dynamics at varying paces. This note discusses the most significant innovations in payments and their key impacts and implications on users, banks and other payment service providers, regulators, and the overall structure of the payments market. The note places special emphasis on how emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs) can reap the benefits of payment ...
