Need for policy for contribution of bangladeshi diasporaM S Siddiqui
In Bangladesh, the diaspora’s contribution to development is viewed only in terms of remittances that go primarily to support families in Bangladesh. Bangladesh should accelerate its efforts to harness the knowledge skills, expertise and investment potential of diaspora to support transformative development. However, to accomplish this task, Bangladesh needs to be more systematic, structured and strategic in its engagement with its diaspora.
G20 Foundation Lecture on Green Growth, Sustainability and Climate Change at ...G20_Foundation
G20 is a group of 20 major economies which represent 90% of the world’s overall GDP, 80% of world trade and 2/3 of the world’s population. As a result of a G20 Summit, the heads of state produce a leaders declaration, where they agree to a number of macro economical reforms and regulations.
Since Green Growth, Sustainability and Energy Efficiency were significant agenda topics through past G20 presidencies, the first part of this lecture will evaluate the success of the governance process and identify key obstacles for implementation. The second part will deal with governance innovation and dialogue facilitation between governments, businesses, academia and civil society. Inclusions will be underlined as an important measure for improvement of quality and acceptance of the governmental decision making process.

In an age where technology is thriving and economic activity is booming, Nigeria can take advantage of active participation in Global Value Chain to improve and sustain her economy.
Private sector development has become an important part of development policy. Until recently, however, policymakers around the globe as well as in international organizations adopted a narrow perspective of the challenges involved, focusing in particular on efficiency gains in existing enterprises. In the face of rapid social and technological change, slow economic recovery and jobless growth, many countries have shifted the focus of their policies to facilitating new firm creation. With the inclusion of entrepreneurship as part of the development policy agenda there is an opportunity to better link private sector development to the goals of inclusive and sustainable development. The Entrepreneurship Policy Framework developed by UNCTAD is, therefore, a timely contribution as it aims to assist policymakers in identifying the key elements of an entrepreneurship policy and formulating actions. It also provides policy options that will help developing countries and countries in transition to stimulate inclusive and sustainable growth. While cautioning that one-size does not fit all, the policy recommendations are clearly stated and are accompanied by practical checklists, an inventory of selected examples and monitoring indicators. The four design principles that underpin the findings in this document are the following: 1. Consensus building: development partners should contribute to a national entrepreneurship strategy that is the result of extensive consultation between the government and representatives of all sectors of business activity, local communities, education and financial institutions. 2. Sustainability: poverty reduction, gender equality and environmental protection are core goals. 3. Implementation: multiple ministries, as well as implementing agencies from the private sector and civil society should be identified and their role clearly defined 4. Monitoring and evaluation: the periodic measurement of policy effectiveness is essential for the management of entrepreneurship policy and should incorporate feedback from lessons learnt on an on-going basis.
India’s engagement at multilateral forums has significantly increased over the last one decade. It has been playing a constructive role in forums like G-20 (B-20) which has been deliberating on critical issues of global economic and trade governance post the financial crisis. Besides this, India has also joined the grouping like IBSA and BRICS, which again are playing an important role in current global scenario.
CII complements the Government of India’s enhanced engagement with East and Southeast Asia, Africa and Latin America. In recent years, Indian industry too has started taking keen interest on these issues and is looking outward, slowly emerging as one of the significant sources of global investment. CII in association with its partner business associations has formed a Business 20 alliance to feed business inputs into the G-20 discussions on issues which are of direct interest to them.
Through this newsletter, CII hopes to provide an insight to all such multilateral and regional engagements of India and Indian industry.

BUSINESS INCUBATION AS ELEMENT OF BUSINESS SERVICE INSTITUTION AND SME DEVEL...Vasily Ryzhonkov
The core of the political and economic transformation of any country in transition (CIT) is
the creation of the private sector, the development of entrepreneurship and creation of small and
medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). They are consideredto be one of the principal driving forces in
economic development. SMEs stimulate private ownership and entrepreneurial skills, they are
flexible and can adapt quickly to changing market demand and supply situations, they generate
employment, help diversify economic activity and make a significant contribution to exports and
trade. SMEs also play an important role in innovation and the high-tech business, due to their
flexibility and creativity many of them became large businesses. In this process emphasis should be
laid on creation of a business friendly environment in which the transformation of the society
towards a market economy should be taken place
Meeting of the OECD Council at Ministerial Level Paris, 6-7 May 2014Dr Lendy Spires
My strategic orientations set out how the OECD will continue to support Member and Partner Countries in addressing the four main legacies of the global financial crisis – low growth, high unemployment, declining trust and rising inequality – by providing timely, targeted, evidence-based advice on the design and implementation of “better policies for better lives”. • To effectively fulfil this role, the OECD needs to continuously upgrade its analytical framework and to better incorporate into its recommendations the inter-linkages, trade-offs and synergies that are the defining feature of the current policy landscape. This was the main motivation behind the launching of the ‘New Approaches to Economic Challenges’ (NAEC) initiative, the initial findings of which will be presented at this year’s Ministerial Council Meeting. Global Outlook • The ‘four cylinders’ of the global economy are still running at half speed, leaving the recovery weak, uneven and fragile. Despite some recent signs of improvement in trade and investment, credit growth and activity in emerging-markets have yet to regain their pre-crisis dynamism. • This challenge is compounded by policymakers’ limited room for manoeuvre. Expansionary fiscal policy has been accompanied by a surge in public debt in OECD economies, while highly supportive monetary policy is showing diminishing marginal returns and should be gradually normalised. For leaders in advanced and emerging economies alike, productivity-enhancing structural reforms remain the best avenue for pursuing robust long-term growth. • But stronger growth alone is not enough! We need growth that is balanced, inclusive and green, built on resilient national institutions and effective international co-operation. Structural reforms must aim to increase productivity, but also to reduce inequality, improve well-being, protect the environment and to help rebuild public trust. In this regard, the OECD’s approach to – “go structural, go social, go green, go institutional, and go national” – remains as pertinent as ever. Growth and Jobs • NAEC is already delivering a multi-dimensional policy analysis framework that is expected to permeate across the Organisation.

G20YEA2015 Communique
1. 1
G20 Young Entrepreneurs’ Alliance Communiqué
Issued on behalf of the world’s young entrepreneurs at the 2015 Young
Entrepreneurs’ Summit in Istanbul, Turkey: September 9, 2015
Endorsed by B20 Turkish Presidency
The G20 Young Entrepreneurs’ Alliance (G20 YEA) is a global network of approximately
500,000 young entrepreneurs and the organizations that support them. In conjunction with
the 2015 G20 Leaders’ Summit in Antalya, Turkey, hundreds of young entrepreneurs met in
Istanbul for the annual G20 YEA Summit from September 7 to 9, 2015. This gathering built
upon a tradition of collaboration between the world’s young entrepreneurs that began in
Italy at the 2009 G8 summit and continued at successive G20 YEA Summits in Canada,
France, Mexico, Russia and Australia. Each summit released detailed communiqués to
engage the G20 Leaders and other bodies, deepening our shared understanding of the
importance of entrepreneurship and presenting ideas to advance it.
In 2014, at the G20 YEA Summit in Sydney, Australia, the Alliance produced an Action Plan
on Youth Employment that has led to positive policy changes in several G20 countries. As a
companion to this plan, we co-authored a white paper on entrepreneurship (in partnership
with the Youth 20) as part of our contribution to the United Nations Sustainable
Development Goals. Both the Australian Government and the UN Development Program
(UNDP) endorsed our work in this area, recognizing that entrepreneurship is part of the
solution to the global youth employment crisis. The G20 Brisbane Leader’s Declaration and
the G20 Brisbane Action Plan called upon the G20 Employment Working Group to
implement policies to support entrepreneurship.
Our 2015 Istanbul Summit also benefited from formal collaboration between the G20 YEA
and task forces of the B20 (specifically those on SMEs and Entrepreneurship, Employment
and Trade). Together, we collectively developed global policies (reflecting the B20’s
priorities of Inclusiveness, Implementation and Investment) to support entrepreneurship,
SME development and measures to address youth employment. Our global movement was
also encouraged by the emergence of the World SME Forum, an initiative of the Turkish
government to recognize the contribution that SMEs can make to global economic growth
and employment. The G20 YEA looks forward to being actively engaged in this ongoing
endeavor.
2. 2
Our focus in Istanbul was on a vital element that underpins the ability of young people to
start and grow successful businesses around the world, namely entrepreneurship culture.
We know that governments have a key role to play in fostering this culture to support and
encourage young people to start their own businesses. Through engagement of thousands
of entrepreneurs across our network and in collaboration with the B20, we defined our
priorities for entrepreneurship. This was aided by research we conducted in partnership
with EY and Accenture to identify best practices in promoting entrepreneurship and
encouraging high-potential growth firms.
As a result of our alıgnment and work wıth the B20, the B20 Turkısh Presidency has endorsed
our communiqué. We therefore call upon the G20 leaders to endorse the following
recommendations that will promote global and local ecosystems that are supportive of
entrepreneurship culture:
1. Support specific educational and skills measures to encourage entrepreneurship:
Encouraging an entrepreneurial mindset at various stages in the education system
and providing skills training to entrepreneurs is key to cultural change. We call upon
G20 governments to promote entrepreneurship in all levels of education and support
companion programs that encourage “learning agility” and entrepreneurship culture
and support SMEs and early-stage businesses (e.g. incubators, mentoring, funding,
specific initiatives to encourage women entrepreneurs).
2. Initiate development of G20-wide entrepreneur visa program: A commitment to
remove barriers to entrepreneurial success and to promote SME growth would send
a powerful cultural signal. We call upon G20 governments to review bureaucratic
barriers to enterprise formation and growth, promote harmonization of international
standards to build SME capacity, and to explore a G20-wide entrepreneurs’ visa
program to encourage international mobility.
3. Adopt policies that address taxation and funding issues for entrepreneurs and high-
impact SMEs: As research has shown, government policies regarding taxation and
funding send powerful messages about whether a country is culturally supportive of
entrepreneurs. They are also cited as key reasons for the success – or failure – of
entrepreneurs and high-growth SMEs. In order to encourage entrepreneurship and
facilitate access to capital and new markets, we call upon the G20 governments to
adopt progressive policy measures (e.g. separate tax categories for entrepreneurs
and high-impact SMEs) related to tax and fiscal support for entrepreneurs, and
encourage angel investment, venture capital, and private-equity investment to
broaden and deepen SMEs’ access to alternative financing.
.
4. Develop digital infrastructure and services as a foundation for future growth and
innovation: Digital infrastructure is at the heart of our innovation ecosystems,
improving the performance of a broad range of companies, enabling them to bring
new products to market and allowing them to work with multiple partners. Such
collaboration boosts economic growth and the greater use of digital platforms will
enable a stronger model of entrepreneurship and innovation. We call upon G20
governments to lead a process of collaboration that engages government, high-
3. 3
growth SMEs, businesses, and stakeholders in education and science in building the
next generation of digital infrastructure.
5. Focus on legal certainty and transparency: Entrepreneurial growth and innovation
requires a reliable legal framework for early-stage businesses and a transparent and
streamlined process that will allow them to grow quickly. We call upon G20
governments to enact measures that ensure a progressive legal environment for
entrepreneurs (including intellectual property protection) and practical measures
(e.g. online information regarding international and regional standards, regulations
and practices, etc.) that streamline their path to growth.
6. Support research to better understand how to promote entrepreneurial culture
and the ecosystems that support it: To ensure that policies are based on best
practices and objective data, we call upon G20 governments to directly engage G20
YEA member organizations, the World SME Forum, our knowledge partners and
other relevant stakeholders to identify how an environment that encourages and
supports to entrepreneurship can be promoted and maintained.
7. Encourage collaboration between large corporations and entrepreneurs:
A culture of entrepreneurship and growth relies on collaboration between all
stakeholders, including large national/multinational corporations and earlier-stage
businesses. We call upon the G20 governments to encourage such collaboration
through their work with the B20 and through country-specific initiatives.
We, the leaders of organizations that support young entrepreneurs, urge the G20
Leaders to recognize in their communiqué the importance of encouraging a culture of
entrepreneurship as a key way to address the world’s twin challenges of slowing growth
and rising youth unemployment.
Signed this on 9th
day of September 2015 in Istanbul, Turkey.
