28 Trade Developments WTO Accession (10 EiT not members) Membership for Russia is imminent-the rush before Putin Good progress is being made for BiH EU-Ukraine Association Agreement may be concluded by end of 2011 Belarus-Kazakhstan-Russia customs union moving forth with additional initiatives, ie economic space EU Eastern Partnership (with Bel, Ukr, Mol, Arm, Aze, Geo) going nowhere; objective was to be trade and visa liberalization. Political problems as CIS becomes less democratic. EU Accession: Croatia in 2013, Montenegro & FYRM are candidates, Serbia maybe by year end. All have visa free travel to Schengen area except Kosovo. CEFTA increasing integration & promoting EU accession Dependence on foreign capital should/must decline. Promoting export-led growth requires supply-side policies (R&D, vocational education) and macro policies (raising domestic private savings, reducing public dis-saving, controlling credit growth and avoiding housing booms).

42 EiT Longer Run Economic Objectives/Considerations Increase the size of high-technology sectors and innovation Increase foreign investment inflows Frozen conflicts in Caucasus and central Asia limits attractiveness of the regions Need to increase the size of the tradeables sectors Liberalization progress has slowed down Energy exporters need to diversify to Asian markets Demographic problems are especially acute for an emerging market
43 Main Lessons for EiT from the Global Financial Crisis Limit the overall level of exposure to external capital markets, especially portfolio and bank loans Limit the domestic growth of credit to reasonable levels Limit the degree of foreign currency denominated loans Consider the benefits of exchange rate flexibility Minimize government fiscal deficits Diversity production and exports; develop manufacturing and services sectors Develop and improve the governance of domestic financial systems Although those economies with a large export sector were more exposed, limiting trade integration is not a recommendation
