    Philippines Financial Sector Assessment Program : Climate Change and Environmental Risks and Opportunities (2019)
    Washington, D.C : The World Bank

    Abstract: The Philippines' financial sector is highly vulnerable to climate risks. The country has high exposure to natural hazards (typhoons, landslides, floods, droughts, volcanic eruptions), strong dependence on a climate-sensitive agricultural sector, and vast coastlines where all major cities and the majority of the population reside. Significant systemic vulnerabilities can materialize if large natural disasters affect the capital region. In addition to physical risks, Philippine banks can also be exposed to transition impacts, that is, risks that emerge during the transition towards a more sustainable and carbon-neutral economy. Philippine supervisory authorities should build capacity to better understand and manage climate risks and foster transparency. At the same time, there is opportunity for deepening financial markets for green growth, by addressing several market and institutional barriers. With limits in public spending, there is great need, but also a significant opportunity for the private sector to contribute to green inclusive growth, including finance for climate resilience and mitigation efforts

    Shocks and Household Welfare in Sudan (2019)
    Washington, D.C : The World Bank
    Details
    Language: English
    Pages: 1 Online-Ressource
    Series Statement: Policy Notes
    Keywords: Agricultural Sector Economics ; Agriculture ; Environment ; Inequality ; Natural Disasters ; Poverty ; Poverty Reduction ; Rainfall ; Resilience
    Abstract: The Sudanese economy has faced several shocks over the years, sometimes resulting in devastating impacts on the economy and the welfare of Sudanese households. The sources of these shocks vary, ranging from weather-related shocks such as droughts and floods to the global financial crisis and commodity price hikes. In the absence of effective social protection programs, exposure of households to frequent shocks lowers their ability to escape poverty, pushing households slightly above the poverty line back into poverty and sliding poor households deeper into poverty. This paper applies this framework to examine the impact of shocks on the welfare of Sudanese households and explore coping strategies typically utilized by households to mitigate the negative effects of shocks. The paper uses the 2009 National Baseline Household Survey (NBHS) and the 2014-15 National Household Budget and Poverty Survey (NHBPS) to document the main types of shocks that Sudanese households are exposed to and describe the profile of Sudanese households likely to be vulnerable and/or resilient to shocks. To complement this analysis, the paper uses the most recent round of the data collected in 2014/15 (containing information on idiosyncratic shocks) together with data on covariate shocks such as rainfall and conflict obtained from other sources to estimate the impact of shocks on household welfare. Since the impact of shocks on household welfare is likely to be multidimensional, various indicators of household welfare such as consumption, poverty status, assets, dietary quality, and diversity are considered in the paper. Results from the analysis are used to highlight the state of social protection in Sudan and discuss the need for an expansion of the existing system

    Abstract: StAR-the Stolen Asset Recovery Initiative-is a partnership between the World Bank Group and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) that supports international efforts to end safe havens for corrupt funds. This paper presents an overview of the benefits and challenges associated with transitioning from paper-based to electronic filing. While many of the experiences and practices presented can be relevant to experts from countries across all regions and income levels, the primary audience is policymakers, asset declaration/anti-corruption experts, and practitioners in middle-income countries, with a focus on countries in Europe and Central Asia. This paper provides an overview of the topic and does not aim to discuss all technical issues exhaustively

    Agriculture, Fisheries, and Food Processing in Croatia's Food and Bio-Economy (2019)
    Washington, D.C : The World Bank
    Details
    Language: English
    Pages: 1 Online-Ressource
    Series Statement: Policy Notes
    Keywords: Agricultural Sector Economics ; Agriculture ; Climate Change and Agriculture ; Environment ; Fisheries and Aquaculture ; Food Security
    Abstract: Shifting consumer demand and accelerating climate change will further shape the agri-food sector in Croatia in the next decade. Consumers in high value markets in the EU and beyond are shifting their expenditures towards safe, healthy, sustainable, and convenient products. Recent EU market projections further confirm ongoing shifts in consumer demand. Agri-food producers and processors must increasingly differentiate and personalize their product offerings in response to shifting consumer demand and stricter regulations. The modern retail sector has been consolidating to better coordinate supply chains, comply with strict legal and regulatory requirements, and meet diverse consumer demands. Croatia has experienced a 'retail revolution' as food retailing shifts from small shops and grocery stores to supermarkets. Climate change impacts and risk will have a profound impact on the agricultural sector. Extreme weather events in Croatia such as droughts and hail have resulted in losses generated by the agriculture, forestry and fisheries sector. Climate change impacts are expected to appear through a variety of vectors in the fisheries sector. For capture fisheries and marine aquaculture, climate change impacts primarily manifest themselves in rises in sea-levels, increases in sea temperature, acidification, changes in ocean current patterns, and extreme weather events. Leveraging the agri-food sector's multiple functions and cross-sector linkages could be a powerful driver for diversified rural and coastal economies. The linkages between the agri-food and tourism sectors are particularly relevant in the context of Croatia given that the tourism sector contributes significantly to the national economy. Sustainable and circular bio-economies offer numerous diversification opportunities to rural and coastal areas in Croatia. Future policies should aim to accelerate the structural transformation of Croatia's agri-food sector

    Keywords: Agriculture ; Business Of Agriculture ; Environment ; Fertilizer ; Finance
    Abstract: Enabling the Business of Agriculture 2017, the third report in the series, offers insights into how laws and regulations affect private sector development for agribusinesses, including producer organizations and other agricultural entrepreneurs. Globally comparable data and scored indicators encourage regulations that ensure the safety and quality of agricultural inputs, goods and services but are not too costly or burdensome. The goal is to facilitate the operation of agribusinesses and allow them to thrive in a socially and environmentally responsible way, enabling them to provide essential agricultural inputs and services to farmers that could increase their productivity and profits. Regional, income-group and country-specific trends and data observations are presented for 62 countries and across 12 topics: seed, fertilizer, machinery, finance, markets, transport, water, ICT, land, livestock, environmental sustainability and gender. Data are current as of June 30, 2016. For more information, please see http://eba.worldbank.org

    Abstract: Due to frequent domestic and external shocks, Niger is one of the poorest countries in the world. Located in a sub-region repeatedly challenged by security threats such as the Libyan conflict, the Mali crisis and the Boko Haram armed attacks, the Nigerien economy is exposed to severe climate shocks that largely impact the country's economic performance. Despite going through several episodes of political turbulence, Niger has experienced relative political stability, with beneficial effects for economic growth since 2011. To sum up, Niger is a country that faces the jobs challenges of an agrarian and increasingly resource-based economy, and in which a large part of the population is young, poor and exposed to external and internal shocks. In Niger, most population is poor and lives in rural areas, implying that the jobs with the highest development impact are in agriculture. However, as discussed, jobs per se do not guarantee sufficient income opportunities to escape poverty; as such, increases in productivity are crucial for improving living standards. Moreover, giving the high exposure of poor and rural households to climatic shocks and food insecurity, the new jobs agenda needs to encourage the use of modern and inputs and decrease reliance on rainfall patterns. This book is arranged as follows: 1) Chapter one explains the employment structures in Niger; 2) Chapter two discusses employment dynamics and transitions; 3) Chapter three has the analysis of agricultural employment; 4) Chapter four looks at non-agricultural household enterprises; and 5) Chapter five introduces the youth occupational aspirations

    Peru - Selected Issues in Fiscal Policy : Taxation and Equity (2015)
    Washington, D.C : The World Bank
    Details
    Language: English
    Pages: 1 Online-Ressource
    Series Statement: Other Public Sector Study
    Keywords: Equity ; Fiscal Policy ; Inequality ; Law and Development ; Macroeconomics and Economic Growth ; Poverty Reduction ; Public Sector Development ; Tax Evasion ; Tax Law ; Tax Reform ; Taxation and Subsidies
    Abstract: This report takes an in-depth look, from a policy perspective, at the trade-offs between increasing tax collection and improving the equity of the fiscal system. As part of this effort, the report places the Peruvian tax system in an international context and considers the key challenges the government is facing in its drive to increase revenue. It also conducts qualitative and quantitative analyses of the impact of taxes and transfers on inequality and on the distribution of income. The report then makes several policy proposals that would increase tax collection without jeopardizing equity, and it then simulates the impacts of these changes on collection and equity. This advice spanned the 2012-2014 period, and included research on several tax policy-related issues, such as legal advice on double-taxation treaties and in-depth analyses of tax exemptions. To keep the focus tight, some of the work is not included in this report. Contributions were originally written in Spanish to provide the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) with timely advice on the subject and were discussed with the counterparts during and immediately after its preparation. As a result of prioritizing this process, two teams focused on different areas of research and were able to contribute to the analytical base behind the ongoing tax reform. The report summarizes the main elements of this process and resulting advice. It comes out at the same time as the finance ministry announces the first set of tax reforms that were informed by this work
