      •       Peru has had a long history of instability
      •       Since 2001, Peru has experienced high rates of economic growth
                 – Recent surge in FDI and exports has been driven by commodities
      •       Implementation of sound macroeconomic policies has allowed Peru to weather the
              current global crisis
                 – Peru’s economy has been one of the most resilient in Latin America


                                                           BUT


      •       Prosperity remains low and large segments of the population lack access to basic
              needs
      •       High unemployment and inequality persist
      •       Peru is overly dependent on commodity exports with limited potential to drive job growth
              and economic diversification



      •       Returning to 8 to 9% growth is possible only if Peru can substantially improve
              competitiveness
      •       Peru will need an ambitious economic and social strategy, building on the country’s
              unique competitive advantages

What is Competitiveness?
 • Competitiveness depends on the productivity with which a nation uses
   its human, capital, and natural resources.
             – Productivity sets the sustainable standard of living (wages, returns on
               capital, returns on natural resources)
             – It is not what industries a nation competes in that matters for prosperity, but
               how productively it competes in those industries
             – Productivity in a national economy arises from a combination of domestic
               and foreign firms
             – The productivity of “local” or domestic industries is fundamental to
               competitiveness, not just that of export industries



• Only competitive businesses can create wealth and jobs
• Nations compete to offer the most productive environment for business
• The public and private sectors play different but interrelated roles in
  creating a productive economy

   • Macroeconomic competitiveness creates the potential for high productivity, but is not
     sufficient
   • Productivity ultimately depends on improving the microeconomic capability of the
     economy and the sophistication of local competition

Clusters as a Tool For Economic Policy

    • A forum for collaboration between government, the private sector,
      trade associations, educational institutions, and research institutions
    • Brings together firms of all sizes, including SME’s
    • Creates a mechanism for constructive business-government
      dialogue
    • A tool to identify problems and concrete action recommendations
    • A vehicle for identifying investments that strengthen multiple
      firms/institutions simultaneously
    • A framework for implementing government polices towards business




    • Foster more sophisticated competition rather than distorting the
      market

State of Cluster Development in Peru

       • Peru has strengths in several clusters, including mining, fishing,
         agribusiness, tourism, jewelry and apparel


       • Peru’s clusters are based heavily on natural endowments, with limited
         further upgrading


       • Peru’s clusters are shallow, with weak supplier bases and supporting
         institutions

       • The limited cluster development efforts underway in Peru suffer from
         poor coordination between the private and public sectors



       • Clusters are so far an unexploited dimension of economic policy at
         the national and regional levels

Cluster Development in Peru
                                               Action Priorities

       • Adopt cluster development as a central tool for organizing business
         development and implementation of economic policies supporting businesses

       • Use cluster development to encourage value-add upgrading within existing
         clusters
                  – Promote spillovers and synergies to upgrade local economies


       • Apply a cluster based approach to economic diversification

       • Apply a cluster based approach to economic diversification

       • Leverage clusters to attract FDI and facilitate integration with the global
         economy

       • Use cluster initiatives to engage the private sector in more effective
         collaboration with government at the national and regional levels
                  – Cluster development is an effective approach to promote private sector-led
                    growth
                  – Create Institutions for Collaboration (e.g., trade associations) to organize cluster
                    participants

Regions and Competitiveness

       • Economic performance varies significantly across sub-national
         regions (e.g., provinces, states, metropolitan areas)
       • Many essential levers of competitiveness reside at the regional level
       • Region’s specialize in different sets of clusters

Regions and Competitiveness

       • Economic performance varies significantly across sub-national
         regions (e.g., provinces, states, metropolitan areas)
       • Many essential levers of competitiveness reside at the regional level
       • Region’s specialize in different sets of clusters
       • Cluster strength directly impacts regional performance
       • Each region requires its own distinctive competitiveness agenda
       • Improving competitiveness requires effective policy collaboration
         between regions and the national government



       • Decentralization of economic policy is especially important in larger
         countries to foster regional specialization, internal competition, and
         greater government accountability

Competitiveness of Peru’s Regions
     • Strong disparities exist
       across Peruvian regions in
       business environment,
       innovative capacity, and
       economic performance

     • Decentralization remains
       incomplete and has
       produced some social
       tension and unrest

     • There is weak planning,
       design, and
       implementation capacity
       at the local level

     • Sub-national governments
       are highly dependent on
       transfers from the central
       government

Peru’s Regions
                                           Action Priorities

                  • Continue decentralization of responsibilities and resources to
                    sub-national governments
                  • Improve the capacity of local governments to plan, design
                    and implement development polices
                  • Improve national-regional collaboration to implement
                    regional programs
                  • Adopt specific steps to reduce corruption at the regional level
                  • Improve physical connections among regions to support
                    economic and social integration
                  • Promote greater linkages between resource clusters and
                    regional economies
                  • Address the underlying causes of inequality between the
                    highland, coastal and Amazon regions
                      – Strengthen human development in the poorer highland regions

Competitiveness and the Neighborhood

  • Opening trade and investment among neighbors fuels growth and
    specialization
             – A country’s neighbors are its most natural trading and investment partners
             – The most natural path for internationalization by local firms is the
               neighborhood
             – Open trade and investment make each country a more attractive location for
               foreign investment


  • Economic coordination with neighbors drives improvements in the
    business environment
             – Capturing synergies in policy and infrastructure
             – Gaining greater clout in international negotiations


  • External agreements help overcome domestic political barriers to
    reform

Peru and the Neighborhood
              Assessment
              • Peru remains a relatively isolated country for geographic reasons
              • Peru has weak relations with some of its neighbors
              • Peru has taken some positive steps to improve relations with some
                neighbors
              • Peru’s recent trade liberalization program, including with the U.S. and
                China, has created significant opportunities for new economic
                linkages with neighbors

              Action Agenda
              • Economic coordination with neighboring countries is an important
                tool in economic development
              • Peru can take a proactive leadership role in promoting trade
                liberalization efforts with particular neighbors and the region
              • Peru can be a platform for South American firms seeking to access
                the U.S. and Asian markets
              • Leverage inbound and outbound FDI with neighbors to upgrade
                local competitiveness

Organizing for Competitiveness in Peru
                                                  Assessment


              • Peru has weak coordination among government ministries and
                agencies responsible for improving competitiveness
                      – Across different ministries to align policies
                      – Across geographic levels of government


              • The National Council on Competitiveness was created in 2002,
                a positive step, but it has had limited impact

              • There are few competitiveness initiatives at the regional level to
                mobilize strategic thinking and drive action

              • The private sector has limited engagement in competitiveness
                development

Revitalizing Peru’s Organization to Drive Competitiveness
                                              Action Agenda
      • Create an effective coordination structure within government
        across ministries and agencies

      • Restart the National Council on Competitiveness to build consensus
        on an overall economic strategy and track implementation
                  – The council will require strong private sector leadership


      • Create Regional Competitiveness Councils to drive consensus on
        state plans and monitor implementation
                  – Involve representatives from the private, public and academic sectors as
                    well as federal government participation


      • The private sector must assume a catalytic role in economic
        strategy formulation and implementation

Corporate Role in Competitiveness
                               The Concept of Shared Value


                      Shared Value: Policies and practices that enhance the
                      competitiveness of a company while simultaneously
                      advancing economic and social conditions in the
                      communities in which it operates




          • Find the points of convergence between economic and social objectives, not
            assumed tradeoffs or the need for redistribution
              – These points of convergence are growing

          • Achieving shared value requires new thinking, new technologies, and new
            approaches to management

          • Shared value opportunities are even greater in developing countries

          • Shared value thinking applies equally to NGOs and governments

Corporate Role in Competitiveness
                                      Action Agenda

            • Organize the private sector to have a collective voice in
              competitiveness
            • Participate actively in national and regional competitiveness
              initiatives
            • Inform government on business needs and constraints bearing
              on company and cluster development
            • Nurture local suppliers and attract foreign suppliers
            • Work closely with local educational and research institutions to
              improve their quality and create specialized programs
              addressing the cluster’s needs
            • Collaborate with other companies to enhance competitiveness
              through trade associations and other mechanisms
            • Focus corporate social responsibility initiatives on enhancing
              the business environment

    The Peruvian Economyin 2009 • Peru has had a long history of instability • Since 2001, Peru has experienced high rates of economic growth – Recent surge in FDI and exports has been driven by commodities • Implementation of sound macroeconomic policies has allowed Peru to weather the current global crisis – Peru’s economy has been one of the most resilient in Latin America BUT • Prosperity remains low and large segments of the population lack access to basic needs • High unemployment and inequality persist • Peru is overly dependent on commodity exports with limited potential to drive job growth and economic diversification • Returning to 8 to 9% growth is possible only if Peru can substantially improve competitiveness • Peru will need an ambitious economic and social strategy, building on the country’s unique competitive advantages 20091130 – Peru.ppt 9 Copyright 2009 © Professor Michael E.

    What is Competitiveness? • Competitiveness depends on the productivity with which a nation uses its human, capital, and natural resources. – Productivity sets the sustainable standard of living (wages, returns on capital, returns on natural resources) – It is not what industries a nation competes in that matters for prosperity, but how productively it competes in those industries – Productivity in a national economy arises from a combination of domestic and foreign firms – The productivity of “local” or domestic industries is fundamental to competitiveness, not just that of export industries • Only competitive businesses can create wealth and jobs • Nations compete to offer the most productive environment for business • The public and private sectors play different but interrelated roles in creating a productive economy 20091130 – Peru.ppt 10 Copyright 2009 © Professor Michael E.
