- Bridging the gaps? Private sector development, capital flows and the investment climate in south-eastern Europe
-
May 15, 2007 09:54
This paper provides an overview of private sector activity and investment in south-eastern Europe (SEE). The importance of the private sector is growing in all countries of the region.

Lack of finance is a key constraint for enterprises. Foreign inflows, therefore, play a crucial role in providing a source of finance for new investment.
- The investment climate for climate investment: Joint Implementation in transition countries
-
May 15, 2007 09:54
Under the Kyoto Protocol, transition countries are expected to become important players in the emerging market for greenhouse gas emission reductions, as they can reduce emissions at a relatively low cost. However, the attractiveness of the region as a supplier of emission reductions will not only depend on its cost advantage. It will also rely heavily on the business climate offered to carbon investors. Factors like a well-functioning legal and regulatory system, economic and political stability and the capacity to process emission reduction projects efficiently will be key. This paper looks at the carbon investment climate in the transition countries eligible for Joint Implementation (JI) – Russia, Ukraine, Croatia and the EU accession countries of the region.

This paper assesses the role of multilateral development banks (MDBs) in fostering development or transition through the institutional mechanisms that the MDBs possess for the selection, monitoring and enforcement of loans and other financing agreements and through the use of subsidies that they receive from their shareholders and other sources. We conclude that a useful direction for MDB reform is to exploit more effectively the potential complementarities between the public and private sector financing operations.
