Nach sechs Perioden gegliederte Übersicht über die Grundzüge der türkischen Wirtschaftspolitik von 1923 bis 1989 und die jeweilige wirtschaftliche Situation. Die jüngste Phase, deren Beginn durch das Stabilitätsprogramm von 1980 gekennzeichnet ist, wird etwas ausführlicher dargestellt und bewertet. (DÜI-Hns)

Der Autor erläutert zunächst die Zielsetzung der ungarischen Wirtschaftspolitik zu Beginn der 80er Jahre, um sodann eine Bilanz der ungarischen Wirtschaftsentwicklung (Industrie, Landwirtschaft, Außenhandel, Lebensstandard der Bevölkerung) in der Implementierungsphase des 6. Fünfjahrplans (1981-1985) zu ziehen. Abschließend wendet er sich den Zielen und Zwischenergebnissen des die Jahre 1986-1990 umspannenden 7. Fünfjahrplans zu (Jahresbilanz 1986, Jahresplan für das Kalenderjahr 1987), wobei er auf die Widersprüche und Zielkonflikte verweist, die sich aus der angestrebten Drosselung der Westimporte und der Investitionen einerseits und dem Wunsch nach Wirtschaftswachstum, Strukturwandel und technischer Entwicklung des Landes andererseits ergeben.

This note aims to build understanding of the existing disaster risk financing and insurance (DRFI) tools in use in Fiji and to identify gaps where potential engagement could further develop financial resilience. In addition the note aims to encourage peer exchange of regional knowledge, specifically by encouraging dialogue on past experiences, lessons learned, optimal use of these financial tools, and the effect they may have on the execution of post-disaster funds. In 2012 alone Fiji experienced three major events with estimated total damage of F$146 million (US$78 million). Fiji is expected to incur, on average over the long term, annual losses of F$158 million (US$85 million) due to earthquakes and tropical cyclones. In the next 50 years Fiji has a 50 percent chance of experiencing a loss exceeding F$1,500 million (US$806 million). The country has a taken a proactive approach to DRFI and developed a finance manual for post-disaster budget execution. The government now has F$3 million (US$1.6 million) available in DRFI instruments to facilitate disaster response and also implemented tax concessions to encourage donations in the wake of tropical cyclone Evan. A number of options to support ongoing DRFI improvements in Fiji are presented for consideration: (a) the finance manual developed by the Ministry of Finance for post-disaster procedures should be finalized, and cabinet approval should be sought; (b) an overarching disaster risk financing and insurance strategy should be developed that includes options for risk transfer; and (c) assets should be identified in order to develop an insurance program for critical public assets.

Since the Asian Financial Crisis in the late 1990s and through the Global Financial Crisis of the last decade, commendable progress has been made by the member states of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) in improving economic and human development outcomes both within each country and across countries. Since 1997, the economies of the poorest countries in the ASEAN, Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar and Vietnam, have generally grown faster than the richer economies, which has reduced gaps in per capita incomes. Overall, child mortality rates have been cut by two-thirds across the ASEAN. And significant reductions have occurred even in some of the poorer member countries such as Cambodia and Lao PDR. However, this report The ASEAN Equitable Development Monitor (henceforth referred to as The Monitor), also shows that much remains to be done to ensure that the poorest members of the ASEAN community, within countries and across countries, are not left behind as the countries of the ASEAN integrate further. In both policies and development outcomes, differences across the countries of the ASEAN remain large. In this context, the monitor is designed to facilitate further discussion on policies and programs that can promote inclusive growth within ASEAN member countries and across the ASEAN community. It presents a number of indicators that are intended to provide a summary of development outcomes across and within the ten ASEAN countries and over time. On this basis, the monitor is intended to help policymakers in ASEAN member states to identify areas of concerns and prioritize national and regional interventions. The monitor tracks indicators across two broad sets of development outcomes and policies: (i) economic development; and (ii) human development.

This semiannual report, a product of the Office of the Chief Economist for the Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) region of the World Bank, examines the nature of the very good overall performance of the LAC region in the aftermath of the 2008-09 global financial crisis and presents a comparative analysis of the post-crisis recovery patterns in the region vis-a-vis other regions. The first part of this report provides an overview of recent economic developments, an in depth look at the drivers of the post-crisis performance in the region, analyzes the external and domestic risks that could drag down growth performance in LAC, and discusses policy response options. The second part of the report documents the adverse impact of the crisis on the Caribbean region as well as its slow recovery. It distinguishes the poorer performance of English speaking Caribbean nations vis-a-vis non-English speaking ones, and highlights the dependence of the region on countries in the epicenter of the crisis, especially the United States, and the limited fiscal space that disabled a counter-cyclical policy response. The report concludes by emphasizing that skillful cycle management is necessary although far from sufficient to be able to turn what has to date been a cyclical recovery into a higher rate of trend growth. Moreover, countries experiencing a formidable windfall from the high commodity prices are in a unique position to seize the opportunity by judiciously saving and investing out of the windfall, they could relax the structural speed limits that have so far kept economic activity from rising to a higher long-run growth path.

In 1990, Australia and New Zealand were ranked around 25th and 37th in terms of Gross National Product (GNP) per capita, having been the highest-income countries in the world one hundred years earlier. Those countries relatively poor economic growth performance over that long period contrasts markedly with that of the past 15 years, when these two economies out-performed most other high-income countries. This difference in growth performance is due to major economic policy reforms during the past two to three decades, both at and behind the border. The report provide new evidence on the extent of governmental distortions to agricultural incentives in particular in the Australian and New Zealand economies since the late 1940s, both directly due to agricultural policies per se and indirectly (and negatively) through protection to manufacturing.

This article presents estimates of the impact of China's accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO). China is estimated to be the biggest beneficiary (US$31 billion a year from trade reforms in preparation for accession and additional gains of $10 billion a year from reforms after accession), followed by its major trading partners that also undertake liberalization, including the economies in North America, Western Europe, and Taiwan (China). Accession will boost manufacturing sectors in China, especially textiles and apparel, which will benefit directly from the removal of export quotas. Developing economies competing with China in third markets may suffer small losses. Accession will have important distributional consequences for China, with the wages of skilled and unskilled nonfarm workers rising in real terms and relative to those of farm workers. Possible policy changes, including reductions in barriers to labor mobility and improvements in rural education, could more than offset these negative impacts and facilitate the development of China's economy.

[ES] Ha pasado un año más en el que al frente de este Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, y junto a todos vosotros, hemos seguido trabajando para situar la ciencia de calidad y el desarrollo tecnológico de este país en el lugar que merece. El año 2010 fue el año de comienzo de un nuevo Plan de Actuación, el 2010-13, que, como el Plan de Actuación anterior 2006-09, fue evaluado en su totalidad por científicos externos a la institución. En esta ocasión, el Plan de Actuación incluye a todas las unidades funcionales del CSIC, siendo la primera vez que esto ocurre con una institución de investigación de similares características. Además, el nuevo Plan de Actuación introduce elementos de medición de cumplimiento de objetivos no contemplados en el Plan de Actuación anterior, como la calidad de las publicaciones, la comunicación de la ciencia y la internacionalización. En este escenario de cambio en los indicadores de cumplimiento de objetivos del Plan de Actuación, que hace más exigente la obtención de resultados, el CSIC debió de afrontar, como el resto de los OPIs, un descenso notable de los presupuestos derivado del marco presupuestario restringido impuesto por la Administración General del Estado. A pesar de ello, y como puede comprobarse en los datos de esta Memoria, la actividad de las áreas científico- técnicas creció en todos los indicadores de cumplimiento de objetivos marcados en el Plan de Actuación 2010-13, e incluso se han alcanzado valores superiores a los previstos. Esto refleja, de una parte, que la inversión realizada en investigación en años anteriores ha dado sus frutos y, de otra, que la voluntad de esfuerzo incluso en un amenazante escenario económico sigue viva. Durante el año 2010 se celebró el Año Internacional de la Biodiversidad, declarado por la UNESCO, y el CSIC se unió a esta celebración con múltiples actos e iniciativas, además de sólidos programas de investigación, entre los que cabe destacar, por su magnitud y trascendencia científica, el Proyecto Consolider Malaspina, integrado por más de 200 investigadores a nivel nacional y liderado por el CSIC. El proyecto comenzó en ; diciembre de 2010 con la salida de los buques Hespérides y Sarmiento de Gamboa, en una expedición que recrea el viaje de Alejandro Malaspina en el siglo XVIII, y que tiene como objetivo general estudiar el impacto del cambio global en el océano profundo. El CSIC lidera además desde 2010, entre otros, programas europeos de Capacidades e Infraestructura (EcoGenes Adapting to Global Change), destinados a reforzar la institución en las áreas de Genómica, Modelación Ecológica y Ecofisiología en relación con el cambio global. Pero el año 2010 marcó un hito no sólo en el área de la biodiversidad, sino también en el campo de la física de partículas, ya que fue durante este año cuando se registraron las primeras colisiones del LHC a TeV de energía en centro de masas, con la participación destacable de investigadores del CSIC en el análisis de datos relativos a estas primeras colisiones. Además, el CSIC lidera desde 2010 el Proyecto Consolider MultiDark, cuyo objetivo es contribuir a la identificación y detección de la materia oscura del universo. En el campo de la Astrofísica, el CSIC firmó en diciembre de ese mismo año, con la institución alemana Max-Planck- Gesellschaft, una adenda al convenio de colaboración entre ambas instituciones para el Observatorio Astronómico de Calar Alto en Almería hasta 2018, con el que se inicia la construcción de un nuevo instrumento de observación destinado a la búsqueda de exoplanetas de tipo terrestre. Sería imposible enumerar aquí todos los hitos científicos del año 2010 en que el CSIC ha estado involucrado, llevando el liderazgo en muchas ocasiones. Una institución que abarca más de 130 centros e institutos tiene el deber de contribuir significativamente al avance de la ciencia y estar presente en las actividades de relevancia nacional e internacional. Para ello, concentra capacidades y masa crítica investigadora como ha hecho en el 2010, año en que se ha aprobado el Reglamento de funcionamiento del Centro de Ciencias Humanas y Sociales de Madrid, que agrupa el 70% de la investigación que se realiza en el área de Humanidades y Ciencias Sociales. Institutos emblemáticos como la Escuela de Historia y Arqueología de Roma, ha celebrado en 2010 el centenario de su creación. Además, se han puesto en marcha las instalaciones de los nuevos Centros de Física Teórica y Matemáticas, y el Instituto de Investigación en Ciencias de la Alimentación en el campus de la UAM, y se han creado el Instituto de Hortofruticultura Subtropical y Mediterránea y el Instituto de Ciencias del Patrimonio. Por otra parte, la presencia del CSIC en los Campus de Excelencia Internacional (CEI) se ha incrementado en 2010 con la aprobación de 10 nuevos CEI, que se suman a los 9 aprobados en 2009 y en los que el CSIC figura como socio promotor y/o colaborador, corroborando que la cooperación con las universidades avanza por el camino correcto de integración efectiva y de excelencia. Nuestra institución, ya centenaria, se compone de un personal comprometido con la ciencia y convencido de que, incluso en circunstancias económicas adversas como las que dieron la cara en 2010, merece la pena seguir apostando por la generación de conocimiento y su transferencia a la sociedad como motor de desarrollo y recuperación económica. Gracias a todos por el esfuerzo realizado y por mostrar claramente nuestra vocación de que esta institución siga ocupando el lugar de relevancia y competencia que siempre la ha caracterizado. ; [EN] Another year has gone by during which we, at the helm of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), and all of you have pulled together and continued working towards putting this country's quality science and technological development in its rightful place. The year 2010 saw the start of the new Action Plan 2010-13 which, like the previous Action Plan 2006-09, was fully assessed by scientists external to the institution. This time round the Action Plan includes all CSIC functional units, this being the first time it caters for a research institution with such characteristics. Furthermore, the new Action Plan includes elements designed to measure the achievement of objectives, such as the quality of publications, science communications and internationalization, something that the previous Action Plan did not contemplate. Within this scenario incorporating new indicators to assess the achievement of goals outlined in the Action Plan, thus placing greater emphasis on the attainment of results, the CSIC has also had to cope with substantial budgetary cutbacks imposed by Central Government, as have other National Research Institutions. Notwithstanding, as evident from the data presented in this Report, our activity in scientifictechnical fields rose for all performance indicators assessing achievement of the goals set in the 2010-13 Action Plan, attaining even higher values than expected. This reflects, firstly, that investment in research in past years has paid off and, secondly, that even in this ominous economic scenario, our willing endeavour is still very much alive. The year 2010 was declared "International Year of Biodiversity" by UNESCO, and the CSIC joined in the celebration by holding numerous events and initiatives, as well as running important research programmes. Among these, the Consolider Malaspina Project should be highlighted for its scale and scientific impact, involving over 200 researchers nationwide and directed by the CSIC. The project began in December 2010 ; when the research vessels Hesperides and Sarmiento de Gamboa set out on an expedition to retrace the voyage made by Alejandro Malaspina in the eighteenth century, with the general aim of studying the impact of global change on the deep ocean. Since 2010 the CSIC has also been leading, among others, European Infrastructure and Capacities programmes (EcoGenes Adapting to Global Change), designed to strengthen the institution in the areas of Genomics, Environmental Modelling and Ecophysiology in relation to global change. Not only did 2010 mark a milestone in the area of biodiversity, but also in the field of particle physics as this year also witnessed the first collisions in the LHC of centre-of-mass energy of TeV, with the direct involvement of CSIC researchers, who participated in analysing the data on these first collisions. Furthermore, since 2010 the CSIC has been directing the Consolider MultiDark Project, which aims to contribute to the identification and detection of dark matter in the universe. Also in the field of astrophysics, in December 2010, the CSIC and the German Max-Planck-Gesellschaft institute signed an addendum to the cooperation agreement between both institutions regarding the Calar Alto Astronomical Observatory in Almeria, in force until 2018. Accordingly, construction will begin of a new observational instrument designed to search for Earth-like exoplanets. It would be impossible to list all the scientific achievements in which the CSIC has been involved or has directed in many cases, during 2010. An institution that encompasses over 130 centres and institutes is bound to make a significant contribution to the advancement of science and to play a role in activities of both national and international relevance. So doing, research capacity and critical mass have been consolidated in 2010, the year in which Regulation was passed concerning operating guidelines of the Area for Humanities and Social Sciences in Madrid; an area which now comprises 70% of the research conducted within the aforementioned Area. The year 2010 has also seen the 100th anniversary celebration of flagship institutions, like the Escuela de Historia y Arqueología de Roma (Spanish School of History and Archaeology in Rome). Moreover, new facilities are up and running to house the Centres for Theoretical Physics and Mathematics, and the Food Science Research Institute on the UAM campus. This year has also witnessed the creation of the Instituto de Hortofruticultura Subtropical y Mediterránea (In¬stitute of Mediterranean and Subtropi¬cal Horticulture and Fruit Growing) and the Instituto de Ciencias del Patrimonio (Institute of Cultural Heritage Sciences). What is more, the CSIC's presence in the Campus of International Excellence (CIE) has grown in 2010 with the approval of 10 new CIEs, in addition to the nine approved in 2009, and in which the CSIC is listed as sponsoring partner / collaborator. This verifies that our cooperation with universities is moving in the right direction, attaining actual integration and excellence. Our century-old institution embraces a workforce committed to science, who believes that -even in adverse economic circumstances like those arising in 2010- it is worth continuing to invest in generating knowledge and transferring know-how to society, as it is a driving force of development and economic recovery. I wish to thank everyone for their effort and for showing clear commitment to our organization, which continues to hold the place of relevance and competence that has always been its hallmark. ; Peer reviewed
