CHINA 2030. Quality over speed

There has been a lot of talks about China's economy, its rapid growth since 1978 (when China shifted from centrally planned to market based economy) and its recent slowdown. Most critics on China claim that its growth will gradually slow down. Transitioning from middle-income to high-income status can be more difficult than moving up from low to middle income (WB).

A comprehensive work on China called China 2030. Building a Modern, Harmonious, and Creative Society, was conducted by a joint research team with experts from the World Bank and China (Ministry of Finance, the Development Research Center of the State Council). A four hundred page research work covering China's path 1978 - 2030, its structural reforms, growth through technological convergence and innovation, green development,
security and China's integration in Global

Markets, is the product of various workshops, studies, background papers and ideas of the team. The name of the report speaks out about the conviction that China does have the potential to become a modern, harmonious, and creative society by 2030, in case it changes its institutional framework and policy.


For its next stage of development China will have to focus more on its strong sides, such as high savings, skilled labor, urbanization, and new technologies. Important messages from the report include six directions for China's further development. First, develop the private sector by increasing competition and deepening the reforms in land, labor and financial markets. Second, accelerate Chinese innovation by participating in global research. Third, consider "greener" industrial policies. Fourth, promote social security through equal job opportunities. Fifth, to meet fiscal expenditures for local governments and build a more sustainable governance. Sixth, continue being a proactive stakeholder in the global economy.

As more critics keep warning that China's economy is slowing and prove it with daily issued statistics, China itself might be focusing and implementing on its long run strategy looking much further ahead.

История о том как открыть бизнес в отдаленном регионе Кыргызстана

Недавно я побывала в Баткене и вдохновилась тем, как некоторые люди, стремясь к лучшей жизни и имея предпринимательский дух начинают создавать свой бизнес и, тем самым способствуют развитию своей местности. 47-летняя Жолболдуева Гульнара Токтобаевна известная в городе Баткен женщина-бизнесмен. Гульнару эже знают практически все в Баткене и за его пределами. Иностранные туристы и сотрудники международных, государственных организаций останавливаются у нее в гостинице «Алтын-Бешик » . Гостиница открылась 10 лет назад, в октябре 2006 года. Из-за большого количества гостей в доме Гульнары эже ее дети предложили написать снаружи дома «гостиница». Толчком послужил еще и тот факт, что приехали гости из Бишкека и остановились у нее, у которой на тот момент еще не была сформирована гостиница. Они предложили улучшить условия проживания, поставить кровати и протянуть в дом канализацию. Она последовала их советам. Открылась гостиница с одним санузлом на 5 коек. Далее люди начали с...

Armenia and Eurasian Economic Union

Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan is an emerging union that is gaining more actuality and relevance in the post-Soviet territory with joining of additional countries as Armenia and Kyrgyz Republic. While it was seen as another not effective project of post-Soviet Union, it appeared to be a new-style project bringing tangible gain to its members and becoming a center of attention in the neighborhood and a viable alternative to the EU (Dragneva and Wolczuk, 2015). While some Central Asian countries as Kazakhstan and Kyrgyz Republic have been analyzing their costs and benefits by joining the EAEU, Caucasian countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia) have been planning to join the EU.  Armenia is a small landlocked former Soviet Union country with population of around 3 million people.

Intro to Franchising

The world leader in franchising is the United States of America. Franchising takes a big part of the business in the US. Among the rankings of the franchises in 2010, on the first place was Subway, the second place took McDonald's and the third place was taken by 7-Eleven. From this top list of franchise companies around the globe, we see that all of them are US franchise companies, and 2 out of 3 companies are involved in fast food industry. And this is not surprising as there are many advantages of running a fast food franchise. The most important one is that there is a same developed menu in each branch that the clients are aware about. As an example, let's say a person traveling from Seattle to Kansas city does not know good places to eat out and in order not to be disappointed she/he will choose to go to a familiar Subway or McDonald's for example. There are notable advantages as to the franchisee, so to the franchiser. Thus, a franchisee gets the rights fo...
