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

Would better enforced Intellectual Property rights benefit Kyrgyz wearing apparel sector?

Kyrgyz Republic has its IP system since 1993 and the competent authority for it, is a State Service of IP and Innovation under the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic (Kyrgyzpatent). The country is a member of 70 multilateral international agreements in the area of IP, that are Paris and Berne Conventions, Madrid Agreement concerning the International Registration Marks, Patent Cooperation Treaty, TRIPS, Singapore Treaty on the Law of Trademark and others. After the collapse in 1991, production of textiles haven’t recovered fully. The need in huge investment in capital in this area and high competition of lower priced textiles from China did not allow the country to recover its textile industry after KR gained its independence and pursued a market economy. Thus, textiles and thread are now mainly supplied by importers, mainly from China. Despite the dying textile industry in Kyrgyzstan, the production of garment has been increasing for the past decade. While small portion of garme

Making Big Money on Poor

My microeconomics teacher used to tell me that if one want to make money she/he should target people with low income. Most starting businesses I see in Bishkek are focused on luxury, upper class goods and services. Those are either bars & restaurants or stores with expensive brand clothing and accessories. They promote themselves as unique and only for wealthy people type of business. As a result, not all of those businesses succeed and they either close or do "re-branding". Where do businessman look? Do they see the sad reality??? Yes, there are people with high incomes, but it is only a small fraction of the total country population. I think that if business start to focus on a wider part of the population, they will not only get greater profits, but will also bring 'good' with affordable in price products for many and will contribute to more developed markets in the region, not only in the city. However, there is always the other side of the coin. Ethan Kay a
