GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT HORIZONS 2013 Capital for the Future: Changing Needs and Opportunities in Global Investment Of all the developments that link present and future generations and tie the world's economies together, none is more influential than how financial capital is allocated across firms, industries, and nations. In both its transnational and intergenerational functions, capital plays an essential role in determining the future course of the world economy and prosperity. The pronounced shift in the global demand for and supply of capital has led to the start of what Global Development Horizons 2012 identifies as the Third Age of Financial Globalization, during which developing countries will become highly integrated into the global financial system—similar to their degree of integration in the international trade system at the present. Looking ahead, several long-term trends are likely to transform patterns of global investment flows: i. the increasing proportion of global growth accounted for by emerging economies ii. demographic changes in both advanced and emerging countries iii. the degree to which a redrawing of the global growth landscape will be associated with trade and logistics patterns different from the existing ones

It will allow for the diversification of idiosyncratic national risks, the imposition of greater market discipline on policy making, increased capacity for balance of payments financing, and the opportunity to supplement domestic savings in ramping up long-term investment and growth. Such benefits will be particularly valuable to developing countries with young populations and large infrastructure investment needs.

GLOBAL MONITORING REPORT 2013 Rural-Urban Dynamics and the Millennium Development Goals The 2013 Global Monitoring Report (GMR) marks the tenth edition of the GMR since the inception of the report in 2004. The GMR continues to provide an annual assessment of progress towards the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). This assessment allows the World Bank and the IMF together with the larger international development community to reinforce accountabilities among developing and developed countries and institutional partners. As a monitoring report, the GMR draws on recent and ongoing research work at the IMF, the World Bank, and the UN, and other outside sources. The theme of this year's report, rural urban dynamics, is highly relevant for assessing progress within the current MDG framework, but it also has the potential to inform discussions about the post-2015 development framework. Urbanization matters for the MDGs in several ways. Two main channels by which the MDGs are impacted are through the benefits of agglomeration, as cities have the potential to generate higher living standards for all their residents (not just migrants), and through the benefits of scale economies, as basic public services can be provided at lower unit cost in urban areas. Overall, urbanization can play a positive role in reaching both the income and service delivery MDGs if these potential benefits of agglomeration and scale economies are realized. In addition, the official list of MDG indicators calls for disaggregating the MDGs by urban/rural as far as possible. This disaggregation has not been addressed in earlier GMRs.

JOBS FOR SHARED PROSPERITY Time for Action in the Middle East and North Africa By Roberta Gatti, Matteo Morgandi, Stefanie Brodmann, Diego Angel-Urdinola, Juan Manuel Moreno, Daniela Marotta, Marc Schiffbauer and Elizabeth Mata Lorenzo

In the aftermath of the Arab Spring, when thousands of young women and men fought for the opportunity to realize their aspirations and potential, the question of jobs continues to be crucial in the Middle East and North Africa region. This report uses jobs as a lens to weave together the complex dynamics of employment creation, skills supply, and the institutional environment of labor markets. Consistent with the framework of the 2013 World Development Report on jobs, of which this report is the regional companion, this work goes beyond the traditional links between jobs, productivity, and living standards to include an understanding of how jobs matter for individual dignity and expectations—an aspect that was clearly central to the Arab Spring. Just as important, this report complements the economic perspective with an analysis of political economy equilibrium, with a view to identifying mechanisms that would trigger a reform process.

PLANNING, CONNECTING, AND FINANCING CITIES NOW Priorities for City Leaders This report provides Mayors and other policymakers with a policy framework and diagnostic tools to anticipate and implement strategies that can prevent their cities from locking into irreversible physical and social structures. At the core of the policy framework are the three main dimensions of urban development. Planning: Making land transactions easier, and making land use regulations more responsive to emerging needs, especially when coordinating land use planning with infrastructure, natural resource management, and risks from hazards. Connecting: Making a city’s markets (for labor, goods, and services) more accessible to neighborhoods in the city and to other cities. Here the focus is also on investing in public transport and pricing private transport fully.

February 2013. 120 pages. Stock no. C19839 (ISBN: 978-0-8213-9839-5). US$25.95

Financing: Enabling a city to leverage its own assets to finance new assets, for example, through land value capture; establishing creditworthiness for local governments and utilities so they can access domestic debt and bond markets; and setting clear and consistent rules to attract private investors to create jobs in cities.

This report also distills lessons from prototypes of urbanization diagnostics which reflect challenges for countries at nascent (Uganda, Vietnam), intermediate (China, India, Indonesia), and mature (Brazil, Colombia, South Korea, Turkey) urbanization. These diagnostics under the World Bank's Urbanization Review program have engaged strategic counterparts, such as those in national ministries of finance and planning, in thinking about policy choices that influence urbanization and city development. 6

THE NEW MICROFINANCE HANDBOOK A Financial Market System Perspective By Joanna Ledgerwood and Julie F. Earne

The New Microfinance Handbook takes a market systems approach to financial inclusion, oriented by client needs. Framing the book with the client as the central element recognizes the emerging awareness that financial needs of the poor are many and are provided by multiple market players beyond the scope of any single institutional form. The book explores the fundamentals of this expanded view through examining client needs (demand), products and providers (supply), and the support systems required to increase financial access to the poor with a focus on operational support, rules and regulations, infrastructure and delivery channels, information, and funding. The objective of The New Microfinance Handbook is to provide a strategic guide to help assess the financial service needs of the poor and to determine how a diversified financial sector can address these needs. It takes a different approach from the original Microfinance Handbook. Rather than taking an 'institutional' perspective (supply driven), the book considers the clients and their needs (demand side) and how the market can January 2013. 546 pages. better meet their needs first and foremost.

UNTIL DEBT DO US PART Subnational Debt, Insolvency, and Markets Edited by Otaviano Canuto and Lili Liu

Reforms in subnational borrowing frameworks and debt restructuring mechanisms have gathered momentum in developing countries since the late 1990s. The objectives of reforms are broadly similar—strengthening fiscal management and preventing future insolvency. Often, these proceed in tandem with broader public finance reforms, macroeconomic stabilization, and the development of a robust medium-term fiscal framework and transparency. The reform paths and sequences that these countries chose reflect their own historical context, legal framework, and reform dynamics. Until Debt Do Us Part surveys the reform experience of a range of countries in strengthening subnational fiscal discipline and developing a framework for the resolution of subnational debt stress. Part I of the volume reviews the experience of subnational debt restructuring in Brazil, China, India, and Mexico. Part II presents the experience of developing subnational insolvency systems in Colombia, France, Hungary, and the United States. Part III focuses on the experience of China, the Philippines, January 2013. 648 pages. Russia, South Africa, and the United States in subnational credit market development. Stock no.

INTERNATIONAL MIGRATION AND DEVELOPMENT IN EAST ASIA AND THE PACIFIC By Ahmad Ahsan

The East Asia and Pacific region has an international emigrant population of over 21 million people, who remitted more than USD 90 billion to their home countries in 2010. The region also hosts more than 7 million migrant workers, mostly from other Asian countries. These migrant workers account for 20 percent or more of the labor force in economies such as Malaysia and Singapore and thus play a significant role in the economies of the labor-receiving countries. The ageing of the population in many East Asian countries will create significant labor shortages leading to greater demand for migrant workers. For these reasons, international labor mobility is emerging as an important development issue in East Asia with important implications for the Bank's mission of poverty reduction and supporting sustainable economic development in the region.

EMERGING ISSUES IN FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT Lessons from Latin America Edited by Tatiana Didier and Sergio Schmukler

Since the last wave of financial crises in the late 1990s and early 2000s, the financial systems of Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) have continued to gain in soundness, depth, and diversity. For all the gains, however, many challenges remain. In many respects, LAC’s financial services industry is underdeveloped by international comparisons, notably, bank credit to the private sector lags and domestic equity markets remain liquidity. Furthermore, the provision of long-term finance—whether to households, firms, or infrastructure—is probably well below what would be desired. This book aims to meet the dual challenge of stock-taking and reassessment of the state of financial development in LAC, so as to set on firmer grounds the financial development agenda going forward. The chapters offer a comprehensive analysis of the status, prospects, and challenges of sustainable financial development in the region. Rather than going in detail into sector-specific issues, the book focuses on the main architectural issues, overall perspectives, and inter-connections. Its value added thus hinges on its holistic view of the development process, its broad coverage of the financial services industry beyond just banking, its emphasis on comparisons and benchmarking, its systemic perspective, and its explicit effort to incorporate the lessons from the recent global financial crisis.

WORK AND FAMILY Latin American and Caribbean Women in Search of a New Balance By Laura Chioda

Over recent decades the Latin America and the Caribbean region has seen a dramatic and virtually uninterrupted rise in female labor force participation. Women there have increased their participation faster than in any other region of the world, adding nearly 70 million women to the labor force. Female enrollment rates from primary to tertiary education have increased to the point of closing or even reversing the gender gap. Family structures have changed markedly, and fertility rates have started to decline. And social norms have shifted toward gender equality. Recent research from developed countries has stressed the roles and interactions of microsocial factors in determining the economic opportunities available to women and, by extension, the evolution of female economic participation (such as labor supply and sectoral choices). These factors include human capital (education and health), social norms and preferences, and family formation and household structure. Work and Family views the evolution of female participation through this micro lens, drawing on the emerging literature on family formation and household structure, which views many important choices as resulting from intrahousehold bargaining. Without negating the ongoing agenda to ensure equal opportunity in the workplace, this approach shifts the focus to dynamics within the household and provides a powerful framework for interpreting the evolution of gender-related patterns.

THE POLITICAL ECONOMY OF DECENTRALIZATION IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA A New Implementation Model in Burkina Faso, Ghana, Kenya, and Senegal Edited by Bernard Dafﬂon and Thierry Madies

For two decades now, experiences in decentralization and federalization have been in progress in many countries, particularly in Sub Saharan Africa. How can these processes be understood and improved? Focusing on four Sub-Saharan countries (Burkina Faso, Ghana, Kenya and Senegal), this volume applies an original approach to address such questions. This book does not attempt to transpose an ideal Western model—which does not exist. Here, decentralization is viewed as a sequential process, implying choices that are the sole responsibility of the country concerned. For each of the four countries, the authors provide a diagnosis of how decentralization is organized in practice and compare this with the institutional architecture adopted. This analysis of the gaps separating what is formally targeted and what has been achieved on the ground suggests possible directions for reform. A guide for analyzing decentralized policies is proposed, which is useful to help identify the issues at stake, point out stumbling blocks and ensure the coherence of decisions on decentralization.

URBAN LABOR MARKETS IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA Edited by Philippe De Vreyer and François Roubaud

Although labor is usually the unique asset upon which poor people can make a living, little is known about the functioning of labor markets in Sub-Saharan Africa. The purpose of this volume is to contribute to the building of knowledge in this area. In this book, the authors use a unique set of identical and simultaneous labor force surveys conducted in seven capitals of Western Africa, as well as in some other African countries (Cameroon, Madagascar, Democratic Republic of Congo) in the 2000s. They present innovative and original results on how people are faring in these labour markets, using up-to-date econometric and statistical methods. Because so little is known about labor markets in the region, each chapter starts with detailed descriptive statistics that aim to shed light onto specific aspects of African urban labor markets. Comparisons between the ten cities are systematically carried out. Descriptive sections are followed by in-depth analyses on various issues. The book is divided into four parts that examine 13 topics. Part I presents the main stylised facts, which are investigated further in a more analytical way throughout the volume. Part II focuses on job quality and labor market conditions, such as AFRICA DEVELOPMENT FORUM unemployment and underemployment, vulnerability, and job satisfaction.

ENTERPRISING WOMEN Expanding Economic Opportunities in Africa By Mary Hallward-Driemeier

Sub-Saharan Africa boasts the highest share of women entrepreneurs, but they are disproportionately concentrated among the self-employed rather than employers. Relative to men, women are pursuing lower opportunity activities, with their enterprises more likely to be smaller, informal, and in low value-added lines of business. This book brings together new household and enterprise data from 42 countries in SubSaharan Africa to inform policy makers and practitioners on ways to expand women entrepreneurs’ economic opportunities. A central question addressed in the book is: what explains the gender sorting in the types of enterprises that women and men run? Four key areas of the agenda for expanding women’s economic opportunities in Africa are analyzed: ■ ■ ■ ■

strengthening women’s property rights and their ability to control assets improving women’s access to finance building human capital in business skills and networks strengthening women’s voices in business environment reform AFRICA DEVELOPMENT FORUM

These areas are important both because they have wide gender gaps and because they help explain gender differences in entrepreneurial activities. Practical guidelines to move the agenda forward are discussed for each of these key areas.

IMPROVING LAND GOVERNANCE IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA A Ten Point Program to Scaling Up Land Policy Reforms and Investments By Frank F. K. Byamugisha

This is the first book on land administration and reform in Sub-Saharan Africa, and is highly relevant to all developing countries around the world. It provides simple practical steps to turn the hugely controversial subject of "land grabs” into a development opportunity by improving land governance to reduce the risks of dispossessing poor landholders while ensuring mutually beneficial investors’ deals. The book shows how Sub Saharan Africa can leverage its abundant and highly valuable natural resources to eradicate poverty by improving land governance through a ten point program to scale up policy reforms and investments at a cost of USD 4.5 billion. The book points out formidable challenges to implementation including high vulnerability to land grabbing and expropriation with poor compensation, but also timely opportunities, since high commodity prices and investor interest in large scale agriculture have increased land values and returns to investing in land administration. It argues that success in implementation will require participation of many players including Pan-African organizations, Sub Saharan Africa governments, the private sector, civil society and development partners; but that ultimate success will depend on the political will of Sub Saharan Africa governments to move forward with comprehensive policy reforms and on concerted support by the international development community.

OPENING DOORS Gender Equality and Development in the Middle East and North Africa Given the growing labor, demographic, and fiscal constraints in the Middle East and North Africa and the changing aspirations of its population, reforms are needed to boost job creation for all and to promote women's participation in the economic and political future of their countries. This report analyzes the main challenges to gender equality in the region and provides a set of priorities that could be considered by policy makers in the way forward. In particular, the report identifies measures to secure women's equal participation in society and politics, enshrine their equal treatment under the law, improve their access to economic assets and opportunities, and close the remaining gaps in health and education outcomes, thereby linking the already high investments in female human development to higher levels of economic and political agency.

INCLUSION AND RESILIENCE The Way Forward for Social Safety Nets in the Middle East and North Africa By Joana Silva, Victoria Levin and Matteo Morgandi

Many governments in the Middle East and North Africa region are still relying on blanket redistribution systems that offer universal subsidies of food and fuel, which guaranteed affordable access to all citizens, irrespective of their needs. These systems' only available response to crises is to scale up the subsidies or to provide more and better-paid jobs for middle and upper class people in the public sector. While popular, these systems are unsustainable and, perhaps even more importantly, do not empower citizens to prepare for independent livelihood. Therefore, social safety net systems in the Arab countries are ripe for reform, moving them from the current system to a redistributive, targeted approach focused on the needs of the truly poor and giving them incentives to invest in their own and their dependents' education and health, protecting them against severe destitution, and helping poor and semi-poor households weather the effects of economic shocks.

Unchecked emissions will come at rising economic cost and increasing risk to individuals. There is a clear case for all of the world’s economies to move to a lowcarbon growth path. Yet, climate action has been inadequate, especially in Eastern Europe and Central Asia (ECA). With prospects of a global climate agreement uncertain, this report identifies the actions that governments in the region can take to reduce the carbon footprints of their economies. It shows that many of these actions will more than pay for themselves— and quite quickly when indirect benefits such as better health and increased competitiveness are considered. To realize these benefits, policy makers in ECA need to quickly move on three sets of priorities: use energy much more efficiently, gradually move to cleaner energy sources, and increase carbon capture in soils and forests. This will require transformations in power generation, industrial production, mobility, city living, and in farming and forestry. The report shows how well-designed growth and social policies can make climate action growth-enhancing while protecting the living standards of less-well-off households.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY Lessons Learned from Success Stories By Gary Stuggins, Alexander Sharabaroff and Yadviga Semikolenova

Energy efficiency is an important factor in an economy, since it helps meet energy needs, decrease costs, and lower environmental impacts. A review of the evolution of energy intensity in European and Former Soviet Union countries indicates a positive trend: high-energy-intensity countries have now reached the level of medium-energyintensity economies 15 years earlier, and in the same period, medium-energy-intensity ones had similarly evolved to levels of low-energy-intensity. At the same time, the fast transitioning economies of Central Europe converged towards similar levels of energy intensities, in line with EU Directives, while successful EU-15 countries managed to maintain economic growth while keeping energy use flat. This report looks at how countries effect the transition from high- to medium- to low-energy-intensity, exploring whether leapfrogging is possible and what policies can be particularly helpful. Some of the lessons include: energy prices tend to evolve from subsidized levels to full-cost-recovery to full-cost-recovery-plus environmental externalities; industrial energy efficiency is often the starting point, with privatization and competition driving companies to reduce production costs, including energy; successful countries excel at governance; households tended to be the last, and most difficult, area of reform.

BALANCING ACT Cutting Energy Subsidies while Protecting Affordability By Caterina Ruggeri Laderchi, Anne Olivier and Chris Trimble

Energy plays a key role in the economy of most Eastern European and Central Asian countries, both in their industrial and residential sectors. Fiscal pressures and environmental concerns are calling for an increase in residential energy tariffs throughout the region, by eliminating the unsustainable current high rate of subsidies to fully cover the economic cost of energy generation, distribution, and necessary capital upgradesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;if a lights-out scenario is to be averted.

However, evidence from microeconomic data to news reports points to the difficulties faced by the most vulnerable in affording heating and electricity charged at full cost. And, since these reforms would also affect the middle class significantly, they remain politically unfeasible unless appropriate shock absorbers can also be devised. These concerns are made even more serious by the recent extreme weather patterns and the legacy of past infrastructural investment, which pose a serious cap on households' ability to manage their energy demand. Policy makers will need to face the competing claims of fiscal and environmental concerns on the one hand, and affordability and political economy on the other, by building on the improvements in social assistance and energy efficiency already initiated in the last decade.

MUNICIPAL FINANCE A Handbook for Local Government Practitioners Edited by Catherine D. Farvacque-Vitkovic and Mihaly Kopanyi

Municipal Finance aims to help local government practitioners, particularly staff of medium and large cities, improve strategic management of municipal finances. The demands for pragmatic knowledge are fueled in part by decentralization and fiscal pressures, as transfer of responsibilities from central to local governments are not often accompanied with an adequate transfer of resources. Practitioners seek ideas and tools to control expenditures, strengthen revenues, as well as to tap large external funds, achieve creditworthiness, and adopt good borrowing practices.

June 2013. 336 pages. Stock no. C19830 (ISBN: 978-0-8213-9830-2). US$34.95

Advocating sound municipal management based on improved governance and enhanced accountability, this handbook provides a comprehensive picture of municipal finances with a broad scope. The eight chapters cover such topics as fiscal decentralization and intergovernmental finances; management of metropolises; instruments of good financial management; management of revenues, expenditures, assets, and external resources; and performance measurement. Focusing on the perspectives of local officers, this handbook combines theory, pragmatic how-to advice, best practices from global experiences, and possible solutions.

URBAN AGRICULTURE Case studies of Accra, Bangalore, Lima, and Nairobi and a Global Review By Daniel Hoornweg, Marielle Dubbeling, Judy Baker, Anjali Acharya and Gisela Campillo

Urban agriculture offers important contributions to sustainable urban development and poverty reduction in cities. Although urban agriculture cannot be expected to meet the food consumption requirements of all urban residents, it can have a critical role to play in food security and nutrition, particularly for the urban poor. It can also contribute to urban resilience, in the face of increasing climate variability, and also promote resource efficiency, by stimulating the productive reuse of organic wastes in cities. At the same time, city decision-makers need to take into account competing land uses, and how best to allocate scarce urban land for agriculture, when other activities such as manufacturing and services, as well as infrastructure, are key to economic vibrancy in a dense urban setting. This report offers useful lessons and experiences on urban agriculture in developing countries, providing a detailed review of urban agriculture from different regions of the world: Accra, Bangalore, Lima, and Nairobi. These four cities help to highlight how urban agriculture provides an important component of municipal management that enhances food security, increases urban resilience, and responds to increasing climate variability. The case studies of these cities are placed within the broader context of the state of urban agriculture globally, the use and re-use of scarce resources and wastes, and the economics of urban agriculture.

TRANSFORMING CITIES WITH TRANSIT Transit and Land-Use Integration for Sustainable Urban Development By Hiroaki Suzuki, Robert Cervero and Kanako Iuchi

Transforming Cities with Transit explores the complex process of transit and landuse integration in rapidly growing cities in developing countries. As one of the most promising strategies for advancing environmental sustainability, economic competitiveness, and socially inclusive development in fast-growing cities, transit and land-use integration is increasingly being embraced by policy-makers at all levels of government. This book focuses on identifying barriers to and opportunities for effective coordination of transport infrastructure and urban development. Global best-case practices of transit-oriented metropolises that have direct relevance to cities in developing countries are first introduced. Key institutional, regulatory, and financial constraints that hamper integration and opportunities to utilize transit to guide sustainable urban development are examined in selected cities in developing countries. For this, the book analyzes their Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems and their impact on land development. The book formulates recommendations and implementation strategies to overcome barriers and take advantage of opportunities.

RETHINKING CITIES Edited by Abha Joshi-Ghani and Edward Glaeser

Urbanization does much good and should not be opposed, but better policies are needed to encourage job creation, inclusiveness, and sustainable and livable cities. Featuring contributions by leading urban thinkers from a wide range of disciplines, Rethinking Cities translates cutting-edge research into practical policy guidance that city leaders can use today to harness urbanization for green and inclusive growth. To ensure relevance to practice, the collection is shaped around the top needs and priorities identified by the hundreds of city leaders consulted as part of the World Bank’s Urbanization Knowledge Platform Each chapter of this volume focuses on a particular area of urban development, such as entrepreneurship and innovation; migration; infrastructure; urban transport; and housing policy. Distinguished contributors include Edward Glaeser, Paul Romer, Joshua Lerner, Saskia Sassen, Michael Keith, Paul Collier, and Tony Venables, among others. June 2013. 392 pages. Stock no.

MEASURING THE REAL SIZE OF THE WORLD ECONOMY The Framework, Methodology, and Results of the International Comparison Program (ICP) The International Comparison Program (ICP) is a global statistical initiative to collect comparative price data to estimate Purchasing Power Parities (PPPs) of the currencies of the world’s economies. PPPs are a form of exchange rate between currencies that is based on price comparisons for every country with more than 1,000 goods and services. The ICP has become not only the largest international statistical program in the world, but also the most complex.

February 2013. 700 pages. Stock no. C19728 (ISBN: 978-0-8213-9728-2). US$55.00

This volume provides a comprehensive review of the statistical theory and methods underlying the estimation of PPPs and real expenditures, the choices made for the 2005 ICP round, and the lessons learned that led to improvements in the 2011 ICP. Disclosing the theory, concepts, and methods underlying estimates enhances the transparency of the 2011 ICP process. This allows interested stakeholders and users to fully understand the strengths, limitations, and assumptions underlying the estimates. This volume also contains several chapters about uses of the data from the 2005 ICP. These uses are significant because they expand the boundaries of the needs served by the ICP to encompass poverty estimation and analysis of the global economic situation.

Worldwide, no other statistical program requires so much cooperation among national, regional, and international organizations. The ICP greatly depends on the overwhelming support received from national statistical offices. They assume the effort of and responsibility for providing the prices and other measures underlying all components of the gross domestic product and breaking it down into sub-aggregates.
