Book excerpt: Answers the question: why are foreigners investing in Chile, Colombia and Costa Rica, but nor in Ecuador. Compares the foreign direct investment (FDI) regimes of the four countries and attempts to draw conclusions and make recommendations for Ecuador. Ecuador's problem is that the country has a relatively small, stagnant economy and so many disincentives or contraindications for investment -- local or foreign -- that there is not yet a basis for investor confidence that Ecuador is an inviting place for FDI. Makes recommendations in a number of areas.

Book excerpt: Improving the investment climate in Ecuador is essential for taking advantage of the opportunities provided by a Free Trade Agreement with the US., as well as for promoting sustained growth and poverty reduction, through higher levels of productivity growth and foreign direct investment. A free trade agreement with the U.S. would provide an important opportunity for increasing Ecuador's degree of integration in the world economy. However, the welfare gains from such a treaty depend on the country's ability to adjust the structure of its economy, as a response to the changes in relative prices caused by trade liberalization, while at the same time avoiding substantial increases in unemployment. Such an efficient adjustment process requires, in turn, that Ecuador manages to improve its overall investment climate, so that resources can move towards the sectors in which their productivity is highest. This report identifies the critical constraints on firms' productivity in Ecuador, and provides policy recommendations for addressing them. The analysis presented hereby is based on a detailed evaluation of the investment climate in Ecuador, using a unique database of manufacturing firms interviewed. The Investment Climate Survey (ICs) covers a stratified sample of firms, and encompasses five provinces - Azuay, Guayas, Manabi, Pichincha and Tungurahua - and manufacturing sectors - oil-derived products, food, beverages, textiles, garments, leather products, wood products, chemicals, rubber and plastic products, and metal products. The results of the ICs indicate that deficiencies in all five areas of the investment climate affect the productivity of Ecuadorian firms, and increase their cost of doing business. Overall, the combined results of intra-national, and international simulations suggest that a national agenda aimed at improving the investment climate, should encompass actions to achieve at least the following objectives: Reduce delays at customs; Reduce the current levels of criminality and corruption; Improve the reliability of infrastructure services; Make bank finance available to a larger fraction of Ecuadorian firms; Increase the amounts of resources invested by firms in research and development activities. The report combines the results of the ICs with other sources of information, in an attempt to provide a diagnosis of the problems that are found in each of the areas of the investment climate that were found to be of greater importance.

Book Synopsis An Assessment of the Investment Climate in South Africa by : Vijaya Ramachandran
Download or read book An Assessment of the Investment Climate in South Africa written by Vijaya Ramachandran and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2007-05-10 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most aspects of South Africa's investment climate the location-specific factors that shape opportunities and incentives for firms to invest productively, create jobs, and grow are favorable. The majority of large, registered firms believe that the legal system is able to protect their property rights. Infrastructure is reliable. Tax rates are relatively low. The burden of regulation is comparable to other middle-income countrries. Few firms pay bribes. And most firms have adequate access to credit. In many dimensions, South Africa has a good investment climate. Consistent with this, large South African firms are very productive. Labor productivity is far higher than in the most productive low-income countries in Sub-Saharan Africa and compares favorably with other middle-income countries such as Brazil, Lithuania, Malaysia, and Poland. And although labor productivity in South Africa is slightly lower than in the most productive cities in China, it is over three times higher than in China as a whole. So, why hasn't South Africa been growing faster? As this title explores, while the investment climate is generally favorable, some problems remain. Firms appear to be particularly concerned about four areas: difficulty hiring skilled and educated workers, rigid labor regulations, exchange rate instability, and crime. Using rigorous statistical information on these and related topics, the book aims to assist policy makers and private sector stakeholders in developing reforms that will improve firm performance and growth.

Book Synopsis Investment Climate Reforms by : World Bank World Bank
Download or read book Investment Climate Reforms written by World Bank World Bank and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2015-11-02 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Private firms are at the forefront of the development process, providing more than 90 percent of jobs, supplying goods and services, and representing a significant source of tax revenues. Their ability to grow, create jobs, and reduce poverty depends critically on a well-functioning investment climate--defined as the policy, legal, and institutional arrangements underpinning the functioning of markets and the level of transaction costs and risks associated with starting, operating, and closing a business. The World Bank Group has provided extensive support to investment climate reforms. This evaluation by the Independent Evaluation Group (IEG) assesses the relevance, effectiveness, and social value of World Bank Group support to investment climate reforms as it relates to concerns for inclusion and shared prosperity. IEG finds that the World Bank Group has supported a comprehensive menu of investment climate reforms and has improved investment climate in countries, as measured by number of laws enacted, streamlining of processes and time, or simple cost savings for private firms. However, the impact on investment, jobs, business formation, and growth is not straightforward. Regulatory reforms need to be designed and implemented with both economic and social costs and benefits in mind; IEG found that, in practice, World Bank Group support focuses predominantly on reducing costs to businesses. In supporting investment climate reforms, the World Bank and the International Finance Corporation use two distinct but complementary business models. Despite the fact that investment climate is the most integrated business unit in the World Bank Group, coordination is mostly informal, relying mainly on personal contacts. IEG recommends that the World Bank Group expand its range of diagnostic tools and integrate them in the areas of the business environment not yet covered by existing tools; develop an approach to identify the social effects of regulatory reforms on all groups expected to be affected by them beyond the business community; and exploit synergies by ensuring that World Bank and IFC staff improve their understanding of each other's work and business models.
Book Synopsis Does the Investment Climate Matter? by : Pablo Fajnzylber
Download or read book Does the Investment Climate Matter? written by Pablo Fajnzylber and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2008-11-12 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the Latin American region's growth rates are at a three decade high, they have been historically disappointing in relative terms, which cannot be dissociated from the microeconomic environment in which firms operate. Policy makers may need to complement their focus on macroeconomic stability with an increased emphasis on microeconomic reforms. By providing empirical evidence linking actual firm performance to shortcomings in Latin America's investment climate, the book discusses policies that could have a significant impact on firm productivity by improving the environment in which firms invest and operate.
