World trade and production are increasingly structured around “global value chains”
(GVCs). A value chain identifies the full range of activities that firms undertake to bring a
product or a service from its conception to its end use by final consumers. Technological
progress, cost, access to resources and markets and trade policy reforms have facilitated the
geographical fragmentation of production processes across the globe according to the
comparative advantage of the locations. This international fragmentation of production is a powerful source of increased efficiency and firm competitiveness. Today, more than half of world manufactured imports are intermediate goods (primary goods, parts and components,and semi-finished products), and more than 70% of world services imports are intermediate services.

Challenges Adversely Affecting the Performance of the Manufacturing Sector of...Dr. Amarjeet Singh
The manufacturing sector of Ghana is bedeviled with many challenges, both external and internal, ranging from poor regulatory environment to inadequate level of skilled labour. Manufacturing firms in Ghana were surveyed, using a sample size of 120, based on purposive sampling. The study was poised to determine those variables that were available and those that were not available in the firms and were a setback. In addition a rating scale was used to determine those that were more critical and could adversely affect the performance of the sector. The results revealed there were high rent costs (84.2%) and influx of foreign products (87.5%) as well as inadequate level of skilled labour (77.5). The study was also intended to determine which variable was critically challenging and its absence could affect the performance of the sector. Clearly, poor regulatory environment was ranked the highest on the part of external challenges while inadequate skilled labour was rank the highest on the part of internal challenges. It is therefore recommended that skills development should be the priority of manufacturing firms, with the aim of closing manufacturing skills gap. Further, the government should make conscious attempt to regulate the influx of foreign products into the country.

• Real GDP growth slowed down due to problems with access to electricity caused by the destruction of manoeuvrable electricity generation by Russian drones and missiles.
• Exports and imports continued growing due to better logistics through the Ukrainian sea corridor and road. Polish farmers and drivers stopped blocking borders at the end of April.
• In April, both the Tax and Customs Services over-executed the revenue plan. Moreover, the NBU transferred twice the planned profit to the budget.
• The European side approved the Ukraine Plan, which the government adopted to determine indicators for the Ukraine Facility. That approval will allow Ukraine to receive a EUR 1.9 bn loan from the EU in May. At the same time, the EU provided Ukraine with a EUR 1.5 bn loan in April, as the government fulfilled five indicators under the Ukraine Plan.
• The USA has finally approved an aid package for Ukraine, which includes USD 7.8 bn of budget support; however, the conditions and timing of the assistance are still unknown.
• As in March, annual consumer inflation amounted to 3.2% yoy in April.
• At the April monetary policy meeting, the NBU again reduced the key policy rate from 14.5% to 13.5% per annum.
• Over the past four weeks, the hryvnia exchange rate has stabilized in the UAH 39-40 per USD range.

what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.
6. Community Engagement: The Pi community plays a critical role in its future. Engaged users can help build trust and grow the network.
7. Monetization and Sustainability: The Pi team's monetization strategy, such as fees, partnerships, or other revenue sources, will affect its long-term sustainability.
It's essential to approach Pi or any new cryptocurrency with caution and conduct due diligence. Cryptocurrency investments involve risks, and potential rewards can be uncertain. The success and future of Pi will depend on the collective efforts of its team, community, and the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics. It's advisable to stay updated on Pi's development and follow any updates from the official Pi Network website or announcements from the team.

5. What is a value chain?
A value chain describes the full
range of activities that firms
and workers carry out to bring a
product from its conception to
its end use and beyond.
7. Global Value Chains
• Global perspective, not just U.S.-
centric
• Organization of entire industries:
raw materials to production to
final sale & beyond
• Linkages across firms and
countries – coordination and
integration
• Upgrading opportunities
• Power in the chain (drivers)
10. U.S. and North Carolina Projects

and performance of an industry
• Identify needed skills
• Identify important market & technology trends
• Identify key stakeholders
12. North Carolina in the Global Economy (NCGE)
Seven key industries in North Carolina:
• Tobacco

14. Geographic Analysis at Three Levels
NC, U.S. & Top States
• Data can all be viewed at three levels:
• NC, U.S. & U.S. (Top) States
• Graphics & Text Analysis
• Applies to data on establishments,
employment, wages, exports & imports
NC Exports U.S. Exports Top State Exports
15. Data Formats: Three Types
Tables, Charts & Maps
NC Exports NC Exports NC Exports
• Data can be viewed in three formats: table, chart or map
• Similar numbering convention makes it easy to find
comparable information across formats
• North Carolina tables/charts/maps all end in “a”
• U.S. tables/charts/maps all end in “b”
• Top U.S. states/all states tables/charts/maps all end in “c”
16. Interactive Visuals
Example: NC County Maps
• County-level maps allow you
to view data for each county
for all years (1992-2012)
across multiple variables
Current: NC Textile Establishments by County New: NC Textile, Textile Product & Apparel
Establishments by County
• Previous maps only showed
two years of data, for one
variable without showing data
for each county
17. U.S. Level Data
• Data is now available for the United States and other U.S. states using the same
industry definitions for North Carolina
• Data is designed to easily show trends in default visual, but is also interactive
• Applies to labor market and trade data sections
New Maps: U.S. Employment by StateNew Charts: U.S. Employment Over Time
18. NC in the U.S. Economy
Chart 3c: Top U.S. States (Employment) Table 3c: Top U.S. States (Employment)

34. Findings from the Furniture
Value Chain: Problem areas
• Massive declines in employment over the past 20
years, especially in non-upholstered (~28k, -88%) and
upholstered (~9.5k, -36%) furniture.
• Establishments in North Carolina manufacturing non-
upholstered furniture have declined by 51% (115) and
42% (149) for upholstered furniture since 1992.
• Declines have effects upstream (broadwoven fabric,
cut stock) and downstream (trucking)
• The employment declines in high value added
industries (institutional & office furniture) is greater
in North Carolina than in the US as a whole.
• Wages in the value chain generally have not kept
pace with national levels. Household furniture
manufacturing in NC has seen an erosion in wages
paid to employees relative to the national industry.
• Export market concentrated on Canada. Huge
markets in emerging economies are not developed.
35. Findings from the Furniture
Value Chain: Bright spots
• Employment in mattress manufacturing and in
furniture wholesale has added 2,700 jobs over the
past 20 years.
• Establishments in design services and customized
manufacturing saw large percentage increases
over the past 20 years.
• Wages for upstream and downstream industries in
the NC furniture value chain have increased more
than the national industry.
• International production may relocate to Mexico.
Reduced freight costs and time to market.
