Targeting aid at trade capacities in developing countries is a sensible way of boosting export potential. For beneficiary countries to fully gain from Aid for Trade, it must target their ability to produce goods not just for export but also for domestic consumption. This is a point consistently emphasized by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). By developing their productive capacities, countries can more effectively take advantage of the other elements of the Aid for Trade initiative, which may help them facilitate inputs to domestic industry and diversify their export markets. UNCTAD has also constantly highlighted the role of regional cooperation to develop markets and as a building block to international competitiveness.

Given the sharp rise in crude oil prices and growing awareness of climate change, the potential of biofuels, particularly of bioethanol, has become an ubiquitous topic of public debate and has induced ambitious policy initiatives. The latter are mostly paired with protectionist measures as the examples of the European Union and the United States show, where domestic producers of energy crops are put at an advantage thanks to subsidisation, direct payments and/or favourable tax schemes. Moreover, the EU is working out a mandatory certification scheme for ethanol imports, imposing social and environmental standards which constitute another hurdle for more efficiently produced ethanol originating in the Southern hemisphere. A similar path is taken by Switzerland's revised mineral oil tax l...

As the global economic recession rapidly evolves, low-income countries are facing new challenges. But the crisis is also presenting these countries with opportunities to refocus their development strategies in this changing world economy. The impacts of the crisis on their economic performance will depend on the speed and scale of the international response. The quantity and quality of aid, including Aid for Trade, are now more important than ever for economic growth and human welfare. Increasingly, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development partner countries are becoming more actively involved in the Aid for Trade initiative. In general, they assess as positive the impacts of Aid for Trade programs and projects on trade performance.

As quoted by OECD, women reinvest 90% of their income in their families and communities, compared with 30%-40% invested by men. Investing in women is an investment in current and future generations. This is why countries need a carefully crafted response to the global financial crisis, which threatens to plunge a further 22 million women into unemployment, according to a recent report by the International Labour Organization. Clearly they need to move beyond the notion of 'gender neutral' responses, and ensure that women have access to credit and opportunities to participate in decision-making processes, particularly in responding to crisis.

Switzerland has had a long standing surplus on its current account. But over the past 15 years that surplus has surged to levels unmatched by nearly any other OECD country at any point. This paper looks at the surplus from a balance of payments vantage point as well as from the optic of the excess of national saving over domestic investment. It then seeks possible explanations for the uptrend and assesses whether it results to any extent from market, institutional or policy failures that could call for reforms. A number of important measurement issues are raised. But the key recommendation is that the authorities should prepare for a possible sharp increase in the value of the Swiss franc if and when investors engaged in the "carry trade" unwind their positions. To that end they should...
