Book Synopsis Dance of the Trillions by : David Lubin
Download or read book Dance of the Trillions written by David Lubin and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2018-08-14 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Dance of the Trillions, David Lubin tells the story of what makes money flow from high-income countries to lower-income ones; what makes it flow out again; and how developing countries have sought protection against the volatility of international capital flows. The book traces an arc from the 1970s, when developing countries first gained access to international financial markets, to the present day. Underlying this story is a discussion of how the relationship between developing countries and global finance appears to be moving from one governed by the “Washington Consensus” to one more likely to be shaped by Beijing.
Download or read book World Development Report, 1985 written by and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1985 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report focuses on the contribution that international capital makes to economic development. While the report pays close attention to the events of the recent past, it also places the use of foreign capital in a broader and longer-term perspective. Using such a perspective, the report shows how countries at different stages of development have used external finance productively; how the institutional and policy environment affects the volume and composition of financial flows to developing countries; and how the international community has dealt with financial crises. This report concludes that the developing countries will have a continuing need for external finance. It demonstrates that many of the policies required to attract external finance and promote economic growth are either being implemented or planned already.

Download or read book Making It Big written by Andrea Ciani and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2020-10-08 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic and social progress requires a diverse ecosystem of firms that play complementary roles. Making It Big: Why Developing Countries Need More Large Firms constitutes one of the most up-to-date assessments of how large firms are created in low- and middle-income countries and their role in development. It argues that large firms advance a range of development objectives in ways that other firms do not: large firms are more likely to innovate, export, and offer training and are more likely to adopt international standards of quality, among other contributions. Their particularities are closely associated with productivity advantages and translate into improved outcomes not only for their owners but also for their workers and for smaller enterprises in their value chains. The challenge for economic development, however, is that production does not reach economic scale in low- and middle-income countries. Why are large firms scarcer in developing countries? Drawing on a rare set of data from public and private sources, as well as proprietary data from the International Finance Corporation and case studies, this book shows that large firms are often born large—or with the attributes of largeness. In other words, what is distinct about them is often in place from day one of their operations. To fill the “missing top†? of the firm-size distribution with additional large firms, governments should support the creation of such firms by opening markets to greater competition. In low-income countries, this objective can be achieved through simple policy reorientation, such as breaking oligopolies, removing unnecessary restrictions to international trade and investment, and establishing strong rules to prevent the abuse of market power. Governments should also strive to ensure that private actors have the skills, technology, intelligence, infrastructure, and finance they need to create large ventures. Additionally, they should actively work to spread the benefits from production at scale across the largest possible number of market participants. This book seeks to bring frontier thinking and evidence on the role and origins of large firms to a wide range of readers, including academics, development practitioners and policy makers.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 861 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is exclusively written as an international finance textbook, providing a coherent introduction to the financial aspect of international economics.

This book will serve as a good reference source for people who are interested in key issues surrounding the international finance system and international economics.
Book Synopsis Global Markets and the Developing Economy by : V. FitzGerald
Download or read book Global Markets and the Developing Economy written by V. FitzGerald and published by Springer. This book was released on 2003-07-08 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: E.V.K. FitzGerald takes a fresh approach to the macroeconomics of developing countries, based on the influence of global markets on domestic savings, private investment, firm behaviours, employment levels and income distribution. He suggests that a Keynesian approach is still relevant today when reformulated to reflect open economies, heterogeneous firms, poverty reduction objectives and volatile financial markets. The study concludes with clear recommendations as to how global capital markets might be reconstructed in order to better support economic development.

Book Synopsis International Business Expansion Into Less-Developed Countries by : Erdener Kaynak
Download or read book International Business Expansion Into Less-Developed Countries written by Erdener Kaynak and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time, here is the complete history of the International Finance Corporation (IFC). In the fifty years since the end of World War II, the world of development finance has grown rapidly. One of the many financial institutions which cropped up to help war-torn countries with their reconstruction was the IFC. International Business Expansion Into Less-Developed Countries examines the success of the IFC in its wide variety of public sector development activities. Covering thirty-five years of IFC operations, the book thoroughly evaluates the formulation of the concept of the IFC and its evolution as a viable global development finance agency. It is the most complete and up-to-date treatment available of the IFC. The administration and operational procedures are described in detail as are case examples of financial development in all regions. Problems encountered by the IFC and new and future activities of the IFC are discussed. Scholars of economic development and international finance will find the unusual way in which the IFC was established and the case examples presented a highly valuable reference, as will students of international studies and organizations.
Book Synopsis International Finance Strategies for Developing Countries by : Alan Roe
Download or read book International Finance Strategies for Developing Countries written by Alan Roe and published by Washington, D.C. : World Bank. This book was released on 1992 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The seminar on International Finance Strategies for Developing Countries was the first senior policy seminar on the subject of economywide financial resource management strategies for developing countries. It focused in particular on the approaches that countries can adopt to assess the financial risks they face as well as the techniques they can employ to reduce these risks. The objectives of the seminar were to review with developing country financial policymakers and industrial country bankers the issues involved in structuring an international finance strategy for the management of their external financial resources and to exchange experiences among the participating countries on their external asset and liability management practices. More generally, the objective was to assist in strengthening the capacity of financial agencies and institutions in developing countries in the fields of international finance, external debt, external investments and financial adjustment. This report follows the seminar program and discusses special topics which have become an important part of financial strategies for many developing countries.
Book Synopsis Project Finance in Developing Countries by : Priscilla Anita Ahmed
Download or read book Project Finance in Developing Countries written by Priscilla Anita Ahmed and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report explores the changing face of project finance in developing markets. IFC, and more recently, other multilateral, bilateral, and export credit institutions have played a strong suportive role in bringing project finance to its current volumes. This role was highlighted in 1998, when these institutions sustained flows of an estimated $25 billion at a time when there was an abrupt decline in some types of private flows. IFC, in particular, was a pioneer of project finance in developing countries and has a unique depth of experience in this field, which spans more than 40 years in the practical implementation of some 2000 projects, many of them on a limited-recourse basis. Particularly in today's marketplace, IFC's ability to mobilize finance (both loan and equity for its own account and syndicated loans under its B-loan program), the strength of iis project appraisal capabilities, and its experience in structuring complex transactions in difficult environments have been reassuring to other participants and important to the successful financing of many projects. This report draws on IFC's experience in more than 230 greenfield projects costing upward of $30 billion that relied on project finance on a limited-recourse basis (see Appendix A). It opens with a brief description of the major international trends in project finance over the past two decades and then turns to the essential ingredients of successful project financing."--Publisher abstract.
