East Asia and Pacific Regional Outlook

The document is from the World Bank's Global Economic Prospects report from January 2013. It summarizes recent trends in the global economy including declining default risk in the Euro area, rebounds in capital flows to developing countries, but continued weakness in industrial production and business confidence. It also discusses downgraded growth projections for 2012-2013, risks from external shocks, the benefits of fiscal space, and the long term gains from improvements in growth.

East Asia & Pacific Outlook, Jan 2014

Growth in the East Asia and Pacific region moderated to 7.2% in 2013 from 7.4% in 2012, with growth in China unchanged at 7.7%. Growth slowed in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand due to policy tightening aimed at reducing imbalances from loose policies in 2007-2012. The region's growth is expected to remain flat at around 7.2% in 2014-2016, though risks include a sudden tightening of global financing conditions or a rapid decline in China's investment rates. Major downside risks have decreased but not been eliminated and include a protracted Eurozone recovery and US fiscal policy uncertainty. Regional tensions could also undermine growth prospects.

South Asia Outlook, Jan 2014

South Asia's regional GDP growth slowed to a decade low of 4.6% in 2013 due to both external and domestic challenges. Growth in India fell below 5% and Pakistan's growth averaged 3.5% since 2010. However, regional growth is projected to strengthen to 5.7% in 2014 and rise further to 6.7% by 2016, led by increases in domestic investment and external demand. Risks to the outlook include the ability of countries to sustain fiscal reforms and reduce inflation, as well as potential global economic issues.

Final Presentation (2)

Elijah Fiore

This document summarizes current economic conditions and projections from various reports. It finds that GDP growth increased in Q3 while surveys reported mixed interpretations. Several manufacturing surveys strengthened while others weakened or remained sluggish.

Wei Xiang Tay

Recently our partner, Rong Viet, issued their extensive and very interesting annual Outlook for 2018. Based on rising consumption and investment, RongViet expects Vietnam's GDP to grow by 6,7%. While the State's divestment plan, the development of three Special Economic Zones or potential renegotiations of trading agreements offer further upside, negative effects of higher consumption tax or delays in IPO plans represent some risk. With earnings growth still positive and market valuations acceptable, RongViet forecasts the VNIndex to rise by almost 20% (normal case). Inflation is expected to be around 3,7%, with the trading USD/VND rate at slightly above 23.000. Please read the presentation for further details.

Where Is The Global Economy Heading, According to QNB Group?

QNB Group

The document summarizes QNB Group's outlook on the global economy. It finds that advanced economies like the US and Eurozone will see stagnant or weak growth in 2013-2014. Emerging markets will also slow due to capital outflows from anticipated US tapering. However, QNB believes a few areas will be bright spots and help drive global growth - China is expected to grow around 8% annually, sub-Saharan Africa over 6.5-7%, and GCC countries around 4.5-5% led by Qatar at 6.5-6.8%. Overall the global economic horizon is clouded but these regions may help offset weakness in other areas.

Juha Kilponen: Outlook for the Finnish economy 2016-2019

The document summarizes an outlook for the Finnish economy from 2016 to 2019 presented by Juha Kilponen of the Bank of Finland. Global and euro area growth are expected to slow slightly, weakening the outlook for Finland's export-driven economy. However, positive domestic factors such as strengthening of the labor market and investments are expected to support continued economic recovery in Finland. Risks to the forecast are tilted to the downside and include uncertainty from Brexit and future US policies. Public debt is projected to exceed 70% of GDP by 2019.

Erkki Liikanen: Monetary policy and economic outlook

The document summarizes Erkki Liikanen's remarks on the economic outlook for the euro area and monetary policy decisions by the ECB Governing Council. It notes that: 1) Euro area growth is expected to proceed at a moderate but firming pace between 2016-2019, supported by monetary policy. 2) Inflation in the euro area was faster in November due to energy prices but there are no signs yet of a sustained upward trend in underlying inflation. 3) The ECB Governing Council decided to continue its expanded asset purchase programme until the end of 2017 and potentially beyond to support growth until inflation rises.

The document summarizes Erkki Liikanen's presentation on the euro area economy, ECB monetary policy, and their transmission in the euro area and Finland. It notes that while euro area growth is broadly based, inflation remains slow. It discusses the ECB's monetary policy measures including low interest rates, expanded asset purchase programs, and forward guidance. It also examines the transmission of monetary policy to the euro area and Finnish economies through interest rates, bank lending, and exports. Finally, it addresses risks to economic growth from weak productivity, aging populations, and household indebtedness in Finland.

OECD_Inclusivegrowth

Global growth is strengthening, driven by recovery in advanced economies and steady growth in emerging markets like China and India. Unemployment remains high, especially in the euro area, despite falling rates. Inflation is declining in the euro area, raising deflation risks. Monetary policy needs to adjust as quantitative easing ends in the US while fiscal policy has stabilized debt levels but must further reduce debt. Structural reforms are also needed to address economic scars of the crisis and boost potential growth.

Inflation in India.

Parul Oberai

The document discusses inflation in India, focusing on the wholesale price index, factors affecting inflation such as interest rate hikes by the Reserve Bank of India, and consequences like a potential slowdown in investment and private consumption. It recommends further interest rate hikes by RBI and measures like rationalizing price disparities, attracting foreign capital for infrastructure and agriculture, and pushing reforms in land, tax, and infrastructure to manage inflation going forward.

Philippines to toe the line april

Garry De Castro

The document discusses the recent weakness in the Philippine stock market. It attributes this to prospects of reduced liquidity from US Fed tapering, normalization of interest rates, and weakness among other emerging markets. However, it argues that most negative factors are "noise" and that the Philippines remains fundamentally strong relative to other EMs. It sees the current market weakness as an opportunity to accumulate stocks, as the country's economic fundamentals remain positive with growth in remittances, BPO, and infrastructure spending. Stocks also offer the most attractive returns compared to other peso assets.

1) The US Federal Reserve's announcement that it would stop its bond-buying program sparked turmoil in the Indian markets, causing foreign investors to exit emerging markets like India. 2) The declining Indian rupee, which has fallen nearly 20% this year, has led to losses for foreign investors and increased inflation, raising concerns about interest rate hikes. 3) Multiple factors are contributing to concerns about India's economic growth slowing further, including a high current account deficit, rising fiscal deficit, and the potential costs of the new Food Security Bill.

Asia Frontier Capital - AFC Vietnam Fund presentation 2015.08.09

Thomas Hugger

The AFC Vietnam Fund invests exclusively in listed Vietnamese equities to capture value in growth companies with a focus on the small to medium size companies. This market segment offers a unique investment opportunity as the valuation gap between large- and small-cap stocks in Vietnam is presently much wider than in comparable neighboring markets and the valuations are significantly depressed versus their regional peers. The fund adopts a fundamental-quantitative approach and employs an in-house earnings model to identify attractive companies where we see high growth opportunities. In conjunction with targeting the maximum upside potential the portfolio has been structured to mitigate corporate government and liquidity risks. The fund invest in a diversified portfolio of 60-70 attractively valued companies to carefully control concentration risk. This approach allows the fund to sell, or buy, positions without having a significant market impact. The fund is directed under the executive leadership of Thomas Hugger, Andreas Karall and Andreas Vogelsanger who have more than 75 years combined experience managing investments in frontier markets, Asia and around the world.

Russian economic outlook – from stagnation to reforms?

The document summarizes the economic outlook for Russia, including both short-term and long-term perspectives. In the short-term, GDP growth is forecast to continue at around 1-2% through 2019. Several reforms have been proposed to support longer-term growth, but major reforms face uncertainty without strong political will. The banking sector has seen some successful reforms through closure of unstable banks, though state ownership remains dominant in banking and other key sectors of the economy. Overall economic growth depends on oil prices and implementation of significant reforms, but the status quo is likely to continue without consensus on reform priorities.

How To Graduate With: Group Studying

The document provides tips for effective group studying. It recommends choosing a small, consistent group of 4-5 people from different backgrounds. The group should decide on a study timetable and agenda at the start of each semester. Members should teach each other topics and discuss questions to reinforce learning. The group can meet in person or online. In addition to textbooks, they can do activities like movie nights, quizzes, and sharing recordings to explain concepts. Members should balance group with individual study and help each other in both strong and weak subjects. Forming these bonds can build lifelong friendships and professional networks.

Cambodia Poverty Assessment - Feb 2014

This document summarizes Cambodia's progress in reducing poverty between 2004 and 2012 based on official estimates. It finds that poverty rates declined significantly from 53.2% in 2004 to 20.5% in 2011 due to rising rice prices and production, pro-poor economic growth, and investments in rural infrastructure by the government. However, challenges remain as the poor remain concentrated in rural areas and are vulnerable to economic shocks. The document recommends policies to further enhance agriculture, diversify the economy, improve access to education, health, and social services, and strengthen accountability to reduce poverty and vulnerability.

Primary ed

This document summarizes data on primary education from a global report. It includes information on enrollment rates, out of school children, gender and income disparities, pupil-teacher ratios, repetition rates, completion rates, learning outcomes, and education expenditures for primary education. The key findings are that primary enrollment has increased globally but progress has stalled since 2008, sub-Saharan Africa has the lowest enrollment rates and largest number of out of school children, and the biggest disparities in attendance rates exist across income levels in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa.

Gender ed

The document analyzes gender disparities in education indicators like enrollment rates, attendance rates, literacy rates, and learning outcomes at the pre-primary, primary, secondary, and tertiary levels globally and across different regions. Some key findings presented include: - Gender parity in pre-primary enrollments has been achieved globally and in most regions except the Middle East and North Africa region. - More females than males are out of primary school globally, with over half of out-of-school females living in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. - Most regions have achieved gender parity or are close to gender parity in primary enrollment rates, except for the Middle East/North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa

Rural-Urban Dynamics and the MDGs

Pre primaryed

This document summarizes key statistics about pre-primary education globally and by region from 1999-2010. It finds that pre-primary enrollment increased from 112 million to 164 million children over this period. South Asia and East Asia & Pacific accounted for most enrollments. Gross enrollment rates increased in all regions but remained lowest in Sub-Saharan Africa and Middle East & North Africa. Countries with lower national incomes generally had lower pre-primary enrollment rates. Gender parity in enrollment was achieved globally by 2010.

G20 Growth Agenda: Framework for Strong, Sustainable, and Balanced Growth

The document discusses the G20 agenda to promote strong, sustainable, and balanced global economic growth. It provides context on the G20 process and framework. It then outlines several challenges, including restoring strong growth and job creation in advanced economies, fostering sustainable growth in emerging economies to avoid middle-income traps, promoting balanced growth and reducing global imbalances, and ensuring growth is inclusive. It discusses how G20 countries are developing national growth strategies focused on investment, competition, trade, and employment to contribute to lifting collective G20 GDP growth above current policy trajectories.

Digital Storytelling - Another Tool for Education

The document discusses digital storytelling as a tool for education. It describes how digital stories can be created using software like PowerPoint, Movie Maker, iMovie, and YouTube. Teachers and students can connect course content to students through digital stories by including elements like point of view, dramatic question, emotional content, pacing, and soundtrack. The document provides guidance on planning and creating digital stories, including choosing a topic, writing a story, finding images and music, and sharing the final video.

Expenditure ed

This document analyzes education expenditures globally by examining the share of GDP and total government expenditures spent on education in different countries. It finds that countries spending the least on education as a share of GDP or total expenditures still achieve high primary enrollment rates. Conversely, high levels of spending do not necessarily lead to high enrollment or completion rates. Some countries achieve high enrollment with relatively low spending levels. The document provides data on education spending and outcomes for various countries to illustrate these points.

Global Economic Prospects - June 2013

The document is from the World Bank's June 2013 Global Economic Prospects report. It finds that while global growth is picking up, it remains 1-2 percentage points slower than pre-crisis rates and is less volatile. Confidence indicators continue to send mixed signals. Also, while developing country growth is solid, private sector debt may prove destabilizing if interest rates or risk appetite changes. The outlook calls for muted but solid growth in developing countries.

Fending off Toxic Debt

Kyna Tsai

The banking industries in India and China face growing asset quality concerns due to rising non-performing assets (NPAs) from loans to politically connected and heavily indebted borrowers. In India, NPAs in public banks have sharply increased and threaten banking system stability, while authorities have taken steps to address the problem. However, China seems to be ignoring the full extent of its similar NPA problem. Both countries pursued accommodative monetary policies in response to economic challenges, but India's banking sector credit growth has slowed as NPAs have increased, while China saw rapid credit expansion and a tripling in banking assets.

However, some countries like Indonesia, Vietnam, and India will see faster growth. Private consumption in Asia is forecast to increase strongly, outpacing the global rate, as countries rebalance away from exports. Remittances are also expected to rise due to dollar strengthening and developed market growth. Individual country sections forecast slower Chinese growth, weak recovery in Japan, continued rebalancing and stronger growth in Indonesia, and rising political risks hampering

China’s Latest Stimulus

QNB Group

China's latest stimulus measures have helped the economy avoid a hard landing. Real GDP growth slowed to 7.3% in the third quarter of 2014, in line with projections and above the government's 7.5% target. Stimulus including tax breaks, infrastructure spending, and monetary easing boosted growth. However, overall lending growth declined as regulatory restrictions on shadow banking offset stimulus. While stimulus averted a sharp downturn, the economy is expected to continue gradually slowing in line with weaker global and domestic demand.

It finds that business as usual will not achieve ending poverty, and growth alone must be inclusive to benefit the poorest 40% in each country. It also notes challenges like climate change that could hamper progress, and limitations in measurement due to data availability and quality.

Poverty Assessment Dissemination - Feb, 2014 - KHMWB_Research

Public services fight inequality

This document summarizes comments on an Oxfam report about public services and inequality. It discusses several key points: 1) There is now greater discussion of inequality in policy, and the World Bank focuses on both eliminating poverty and shared prosperity. Oxfam deserves credit for consistently arguing this. 2) While the report makes a persuasive case for progressive taxation, user fees and taxes do not cover all revenue options in poor countries, which could better target resources to reduce poverty and inequality. 3) Access to some public services like healthcare and education still show steep income gradients in some countries, while other services like water show less inequality. A broader range of potential interventions should be considered. 4) Both

Latina America & Caribbean Outlook, Jan 2014

Subdued global trade and lower commodity prices slowed economic growth in Latin America and the Caribbean to 2.5% in 2013. Exports growth fell from 7.6% in 2012 to 1.7% while the current account balance declined from -1.7% to -2.6%. However, economic growth is projected to gradually increase to 3.5% by 2016, driven by a pickup in exports and private investment as commodity prices and global trade strengthen. Net capital flows to the region are also expected to rise again after declining in 2013.

Middle East and North Africa Outlook, Jan 2014

The document is a report from the World Bank on the economic prospects of the Middle East and North Africa region. It finds that political instability has weakened economic activity in oil-importing countries like Egypt, Jordan and Tunisia. While exports are beginning to stabilize, tourism arrivals remain depressed by over 50%. Oil production has also declined in some exporters due to security issues. The region faces worsening external imbalances and fiscal deficits. Growth is projected to improve slightly but remain below potential and subject to downside risks.

Sub-Saharan Africa Outlook, Jan 2014

The document discusses economic growth and prospects in Sub-Saharan Africa according to a World Bank report. It notes that real GDP growth picked up to 4.7% in 2013, driven by strong domestic demand. However, fiscal deficits deteriorated and inflation declined due to lower food prices. The report forecasts continued robust growth in the region of 5.3-5.5% through 2016, but cites risks such as a decline in commodity prices, tighter monetary conditions, fiscal deficits, political unrest, and adverse weather.

Global Financial Development Report 2014 - Financial Inclusion

World Development Report 2014

The document discusses how pursuing opportunity requires confronting many risks, including job loss, crime, disease, natural disasters, and financial crises. Facing these risks alone can be burdensome, but sharing risks with others through collective action, institutions, families, communities, enterprises, banks, government, and the international community can help overcome obstacles. Effective risk management, including knowledge, protection, insurance, and coping strategies, is a process that can be a powerful tool for development.

Latin America & Caribbean Regional Outlook June 2013

http://www.worldbank.org/globaloutlook After a sharp recovery from the global economic crisis in 2010, when regional output expanded by 6 percent, growth in the Latin America and the Caribbean decelerated markedly, to an estimated 3 percent by 2012. Supply side constraints have become apparent in some of the larger economies, where output was near or above potential during the recovery phase, and which contributed to relatively high inflation and deterioration of current account balances. Despite a sharp deceleration in growth, regional output is only now in line with potential GDP.

Middle East & North Africa Regional Outlook June 2013

http://www.worldbank.org/globaloutlook More than two years after the Arab Spring began, economic activity remains weighed down by elevated political tensions and continued civil strife in the region. Regional growth accelerated to 3.5 percent in 2012 from minus 2.2 percent in 2011 reflecting mainly a rebound in Libya’s crude oil production to pre-war levels that doubled real GDP and a weak growth recovery in Egypt (to 2.2 percent in FY2012 from 1.8 percent in FY2011).

Science of Delivery in Education

This document discusses the "Science of Delivery in Education" method known as deliverology. It summarizes key points made about deliverology's reported results in improving education in Pakistan. While initial reports showed large gains, upon further analysis the data does not provide clear or consistent evidence that deliverology alone caused such improvements. Enrollment data does not clearly show breaks from prior trends and learning data lacks comparable measures over time. More independent and rigorous data is still needed to fully evaluate deliverology's effectiveness.

Quality ed (1)

This document analyzes key education quality indicators such as pupil-teacher ratios, repetition rates, and literacy rates globally and by region from 1999-2011. It finds that Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia generally have higher pupil-teacher ratios at the primary, secondary, and pre-primary levels compared to other regions. Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America also tend to have higher primary repetition rates. Many countries in these regions have made progress in reducing these ratios and rates over time.

Literacy ed

The document summarizes literacy rates for youth and adults globally and by region over time. Some key findings: - Global youth literacy has risen from 83% to 90% from 1985-2010, though 10% of youth still lack basic literacy. All regions have seen improvements, especially South Asia which rose 21 percentage points. - Adult literacy has risen globally from 76% to 84% over this period. The Middle East/North Africa saw the largest rise at 20 percentage points. - Sub-Saharan Africa has the lowest rates for both youth and adult literacy and largest gender disparities, though all regions have reduced these gaps over time.
