India's participation in global value chains (GVCs) has significantly lagged behind countries like China, Korea, Malaysia and Thailand despite its rising global output. This is due to India's historically protected policy framework that restricted international competition and enterprise engagement in exports. However, GVCs provide advantages like export-led growth, job creation and poverty reduction as seen in East and Southeast Asian economies. For India to achieve its export goals, it needs to address barriers and boost GVC participation as GVCs account for about 70% of global trade. Some measures India could take include reducing trade tariffs to lower costs, increasing foreign direct investment, and improving infrastructure quality.

G20 Australia Presidency oecd stocktaking seminar on global value chainsDr Lendy Spires
G20 Australian Presidency-OECD Stocktaking Seminar on Global Value Chains was held in Paris on May 5, 2014 to discuss progress on measuring the impact of global value chains (GVCs) on trade, economic growth, and job creation. Participants discussed policy actions by G20 governments to raise collective GDP by 2% by 2018 through GVCs. Key points included: (1) protectionism increases costs and reduces competitiveness in GVCs; (2) reducing behind-the-border trade costs through standards harmonization could increase income by over $40 billion; and (3) ratifying the WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement and improving services sector regulations are critical to enabling GVCs and lowering trade
1. The document discusses regional challenges in Asia from the perspective of the OECD, focusing on trends in global and Asian economic integration driven by trade, investment, and global value chains.
2. It notes that while Asian integration was initially market-driven, the number of free trade agreements in Asia has risen sharply in recent years, though financial integration remains limited.
3. Challenges to further Asian regional integration include promoting cooperation across the various regional frameworks and balancing regional and global trade regimes.
OECD Skills Outlook Global Launch - Skills and Global Value ChainsEduSkills OECD
Since the 1990s, the world has entered a new phase of globalisation. Information and communication technology, trade liberalisation and lower transport costs have enabled firms and countries to fragment the production process into global value chains (GVCs). Many products are now designed in one country and assembled in another country from parts manufactured in several countries. Thirty percent of the value of exports of OECD countries comes from abroad. In this new context, GVCs and skills are more closely interrelated than ever. Skills play a key role in determining countries’ comparative advantages in GVCs. A lot of the opportunities and challenges brought about by GVCs are being affected by countries’ skills.
The OECD Skills Outlook 2017 shows how countries can make the most of global value chains, socially and economically, by investing in the skills of their populations. Applying a “whole of government” approach is crucial. Countries need to develop a consistent set of skills-related policies such as education, employment protection legislation, and migration policies, in coordination with trade and innovation policies. This report presents new analyses based on the Survey of Adult Skills and the Trade in Value Added Database. It also explains what countries would need to do to specialise in technologically advanced industries.
This document discusses foreign direct investment (FDI) promotion and its effects. It provides evidence that FDI leads to knowledge transfers which can stimulate economic growth in host countries. Studies show that foreign ownership improves productivity and performance in FDI recipient firms. FDI also induces productivity spillovers to domestic firms within industries and supplying industries through demonstration and competition effects as well as through backward linkages. Investment promotion agencies are effective in attracting more FDI to targeted sectors, especially in countries with large information gaps. However, the quality of investment promotion institutions varies widely and higher quality is associated with greater FDI inflows.

Class#1 Document #2 : Value Chain And Globalization, OECD 2007atala67
The document discusses the globalization of value chains and its implications. It notes that globalization is not new, but is occurring at an unprecedented pace and scale today through the emergence of global value chains. As production processes become more fragmented geographically, firms can locate different stages of production in various locations around the world to reduce costs. This has led to a growth in outsourcing, offshoring, and relocation of some activities abroad as firms internationalize their supply chains. It has also increased trade in intermediate goods as parts and components are exchanged between countries in global production networks.

Editor's Notes
Good Morning
Let me make a short presentation to introduce the next panel discussion on ASEAN integration into GVCs
In the recent decades we have seen a significant shift in the landscape of international production. GVCs are today a dominant feature of the global economy. In ASEAN is not different.
Production is increasingly fragmented around the world and components are traded across borders multiple times before the final product reaches its final market.
Why does this matter?
First, firms rely on access to world class inputs in order to increase their productivity – in other words, they import in order to export successfully.
Second, the services sectors play a vital role in well-functioning GVCs. Services are not just important contributors to economic growth and jobs in their own right, they also provide essential contributors to competitive manufacturing sectors.
Third, participation in GVCs is not automatic, depends to some extent on fixed factors (geographic location, resource endowment) but also policies play a significant role in the integration of firms into GVCs, and above all in facilitating upgrading opportunities and higher value added generation.
They are an important driver of productivity and economic growth across countries, both developed and developing countries.
Why does this matter?

Second, the services sectors play a vital role in well-functioning GVCs. Services are not just important contributors to economic growth and jobs in their own right, they also provide essential contributors to competitive manufacturing sectors.
Third, participation in GVCs is not automatic, depends to some extent on fixed factors (geographic location, resource endowment) but also policies play a significant role in the integration of firms into GVCs, and above all in facilitating upgrading opportunities and higher value added generation.
Today a country’s competitiveness depends as much on the capacity to import high-quality inputs as on the capacity to export. Provide access to cheaper, more differentiated, and better quality inputs.
Today more than 50% of world manufacturing imports are intermediate goods, and more than 70% of world’s service imports are intermediate services.
Instead of specialising in an industry full vertical chain, firms and consequently countries are specialising in specific tasks/activities within global value chains.
Chart explanation
As you can see from the chart, a large share of countries’ exports today are related to their participation in GVCs:
either due to backward participation [BLUE COLUMN] – or foreign inputs used in a country’s exports;
or due to forward participation [GRAY COLUMN] – domestically produced inputs used in other country’s exports.
ASEAN7 economies have similar levels of GVC participation of many OECD economies. But to some varying degrees. A few are heavily integrated while others are less so
In most ASEAN7 economies, participation is still driven by foreign inputs used in their own exports. Indonesia’s high degree of forward participation is closely linked to its large exports of natural resources intermediates (e.g. mining and chemicals).
The regional production networks plays an important role in boosting ASEAN economies integration and value-added generation.
In a few prominent industries among ASEAN economies, such as transport parts and equipment, and electric equipment, the foreign content of exports is above 40%.
FDI plays a central role in GVC Participation. As you can see from the left chart, the correlation between the level of FDI stock in countries and their GVC participation is significantly positive.
At least initially, as expected, greater integration is more likely associated with greater backward participation
Countries with greater levels of FDI are found to have higher foreign inputs used in exports
But these are also the countries with the greatest trade value added contribution to GDP
Naturally, the MNC plays a central role in the international production networks, with a large share of cross-border trade taking place within their affiliates network.
UNCTAD estimates that MNCs account for about 80% of global trade, and that about 33% of global trade relates to intra-firm trade.
While centred in MNCs, production networks leave considerable space for linkages between domestic and foreign firms.
And ownership does matter in terms of value added creation:
Foreign controlled firms are generally few, but they usually contribute to a large share of the domestic value added embedded in exports.
And while part of the value generated stays in the country in the form of labour compensation, other part may eventually be repatriated.
Countries ability to participate in GVCs is instrumental for economic integration, but benefiting from GVCs depends on how much value added a country creates/capture in GVCs.
Policy needs to help countries extract the most of it to upgrade within value chains and enhance domestic value added in exports
Countries location on value chains affects how much they benefit form participating.
Certain activities, such as R&D and design, as well certain services, tend to create more value added than others, such as assembly, although this differs by industry.
It is impossible to discuss GVCs without recognizing the importance of the service sector.
While services comprise about only a quarter of total trade in goods
In value added terms it reaches up to 70% in developed countries, averaging almost 50% across OECD countries.
In ASEAN, the total services content (domestic and foreign) in exports varied between 20% and 56% across ASEAN economies
Highest services content are seen in Singapore, Philippines and Cambodia.
But most importantly, the line between goods and services has never been more blurred.
To some extent there has been a “servicification” of manufacturing products.
Global production networks rely increasingly on services-related activities both upstream and downstream in the value chain.
In a number of key export industries of ASEAN economies, the service content of manufacturing exports is particularly high.
Policies – including FDI policies – cannot treat services and goods separate anymore. They are strongly linked.
Services add value to manufacturing both by facilitating manufacturing exports: logistics, communication services, business services, etc.
And also by enhancing product differentiation and upgrade (design, development, marketing, after-sales services).
This places an important responsibility on trade and investment policies as we have seen and discussed during the forum,
but also on a broader range of productivity-enhancing policy areas that help facilitate integration and capturing a greater share of value added.
In the recent decades we have seen a significant shift in the landscape of international production.
Global value chains, or GVCs, are today a dominant feature of the global economy. Production processes are fragmented around the world and components are traded across borders multiple times before the final product reaches its final market.
Firms rely more heavily on intermediate inputs from suppliers across the globe or regions.
Today more than 50% of world manufacturing imports are intermediate goods, and more than 70% of world’s service imports are intermediate services.
Instead of specialising in an industry full vertical chain, firms and consequently countries are specialising in specific tasks/activities within global value chains. Companies do not need anymore to create their own global supply chain, they – particularly SMEs - can join existing international production networks in specific segments of the chain.
Chart explanation
Today a country’s competitiveness depends as much on the capacity to import high-quality inputs as on the capacity to export. Outsourcing and offshoring improve country’s export competitiveness in GVCs by providing access to cheaper, more differentiated, and better quality inputs.
As you can see from the chart, a large share of countries’ exports today are related to their participation in GVCs:
either due to backward participation [BLUE COLUMN] – or foreign inputs used in a country’s exports;
