1 Productive capacity development in the Asia-Pacific LDCs ESCAP/OHRLLS Asia-Pacific Regional Meeting on Implementing the Istanbul Programme of Action (IPoA) December 2011, Bangkok, Thailand Clovis Freire Economic Affairs Officer Macroeconomic Policy and Development Division (MPDD) Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP)
2 Key Messages Asia-Pacific LDCs need to build productive capacities to benefit from region s dynamism, by producing new and more sophisticated goods Need of strategic diversification through the combined efforts of the State and the private sector with a supportive role played by development partners
3 Share of Asia-Pacific LDCs remain marginal in global GDP, manufacturing value added, exports, manufactured exports and is non-existent in hightechnology exports Hardly any increase over the past 40 years Reflects poor development of productive capacity Need to build productive capacities to benefit from region s dynamism
4 Productive Capacities Combination of productive resources, entrepreneurial capabilities and production linkages which together determine the capacity of a country to produce a progressively wider range of goods and services and enable it to grow and develop (UNCTAD, 2006)
5 Development is associated with diversification 100,000 Diversification (Number of products exported) 10,000 1, TUV FSM WSM SLB VUT TON KIR TLS MHL PLW MDV BTN LKA GEONPL MAC FJI KHM UZB KGZ LAO MNG ARM AZE BRN TJKPNG TKM HKG SGP THA NZLMYS VNM PHL PAK IRN BGD KAZ AUS TUR KOR IND IDN RUS JPN CHN ,000 10, ,000 1,000,000 10,000, ,000,000 GDP (MiIlion US$)
6 Higher priced products require different set of productive capacities thus they are different products over 34.5 Thailand Japan Korea, Rep. of China India Bangladesh Viet Nam Thailand Unit value (US$) Nepal Myanmar Japan Korea, Rep. of China India Viet Nam Bangladesh up to 13.7 Thailand Korea, Rep. of Cambodia Nepal Myanmar Lao PDR 10, ,000 1,000,000 10,000, ,000,000 1,000,000,000 10,000,000,000 Value of exports (US$)
7 More diversified countries face lower competition
8 Increasing diversification and competition:..it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place
9 What a country produces today affects what it will be able to produce tomorrow
10 Bangladesh
11 ESCAP Index of productive capacity Most LDCs are at the tail-end of the index of productive capacities; below the global average LDCs remain specialized in few and less sophisticated products Current international environment does not facilitate diversification and increase in productive capacities of LDCs ESCAP Iran, Islamic Rep. Sri Lanka LAC Korea, Dem. Rep.

27 Strategy for Increasing Productive Capacities in the Least Developed Countries Build productive capacities by diversifying economic structure beyond existing range of products in favour of complex and high-value adding products Combined efforts of a development State and the private sector with a supportive role played by development partners
