| description |
During the second half of the year 2008,
the world experienced the worst worldwide economic crisis in
over 70 years. The effects deriving from this crisis can
still be felt over most of the planet. Low or negative
economic growth in developed nations and emerging economies,
high levels of unemployment and millions of persons below
the poverty line, are some of the starkest examples. In the
Dominican Republic, the effects of this international crisis
are manifested in the reduction in international trade, the
drop in tourism and in remittances, and an economic growth
rate lower than expected. In this regard, the Dominican
Republic asked the World Bank to prepare nine policy notes
which are presented in this volume. These notes focus on the
following topics: 1) long run economic growth in the
Dominican Republic; 2) ease of doing business; 3) logistics
for competitiveness; 4) access to financial services with
emphasis on financing for micro, small and medium
enterprises (MSMEs); 5) the electricity sector; 6) climate
change and the Dominican Republic, 7) the health sector, 8)
territorial development, and 9) accountability and
performance system. The policy notes presented here argue
that an inclusive development is possible in the Dominican
Republic. However, great challenges must be faced to meet
this goal. From the analysis presented in this volume four
challenges emerge which must be faced head-on in order to
achieve sustainable and inclusive development. |
