DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/67193d/globalisation_com) has announced the addition of OECD Publishing's new report "Globalisation, Comparative Advantage and the Changing Dynamics of Trade" to their offering.
With a total population of over 75 million people and a strategic location between wealthy trading partners, with Russia to the east and a vast market of EU citizens to the west, the Eastern Europe and South Caucasus (EESC) region is attractive as a destination for investment and trade. It is endowed with significant human and resources ranging from the black soil in Ukraine that produces some of the best wheat in the world, to energy reserves in Azerbaijan and unexplored water resources in several countries. However, in spite of recent growth - an average of almost 8% of GDP during 1998-2008 - the region's productivity levels remain 77% below the world average. The OECD Eastern Europe and South Caucasus Competitiveness Outlook examines the key policies that would increase competitiveness in the countries of the region through developing human capital, improving access to finance for SMEs and creating more and better investment opportunities.
Key Topics Covered:
Chapter 1. The Competitiveness Potential of Eastern Europe and South Caucasus
Chapter 2. Strengthening the Pillars of Competitiveness
Chapter 3. Developing Human Capital
Chapter 4. Improving Access to Finance for Smaller Enterprises
