The Potential of Global Sourcing of Services for Achieving Sustainable and Inclusive Growth
1:28:33  - 1 year ago
The session will debate the following questions: - What opportunities does the global sourcing of services offer to developing countries to increase incomes, expand employment and participate in the knowledge economy? - Whether the potential exists for all developing countries to benefit from this phenomenon, or whether benefits are likely to accrue to only some developing countries? - Whether global sourcing can bring sustained benefits to a country, or is it likely to be short-lived, given the footloose nature of the industry? - What should developing countries be doing to benefit from the opportunities in this sector to achieve sustainable and inclusive growth? - Is it prudent for developing countries to "pick winners" by promoting this sector? - What will be the consequences of global sourcing on the developed countries and to what extent is a backlash likely? - How should the World Bank help client countries to benefit from this opportunity?
