Recommendations for the further development of China's gold market

July 25, 2018-- Today, China's gold industry is at a crossroads; leading stakeholders are asking where it will go next. We believe the consideration of three questions will help set the course for the industry over the next three to five years:
How can China's domestic gold investment market become stronger?

How can China's gold trading market prepare for greater global integration?
How can gold support the internationalisation of the renminbi?

This report focuses on China's gold investment and trading markets. The nation's jewellery and technology markets are robust and, as such, are out of the scope of this paper. But China's investment and trading markets would benefit from strategic guidance and developing them will support the internationalisation of the renminbi.

Philippines Growth to Remain Strong Despite Global Uncertainty

July 13, 2018--The World Bank maintains its 6.7 percent growth forecast for 2018 and 2019 despite rising global uncertainty. Considering recent economic data, the composition of expected growth was revised as compared to the April edition of the World Bank Philippines Economic Update.

Given recent fiscal trends, government consumption growth was revised upwards, while private consumption growth is expected to expand at 5.9 percent in 2018 and 6.2 percent in 2019.

Investment growth was slightly upgraded due to higher public capital outlays, including increased infrastructure spending. Overall, it is anticipated that real GDP growth will increase towards the end of 2018 and into the first half of 2019 with higher election-related public spending.

IMF Staff Country Reports-Vietnam: Selected Issues

July 10, 2018--POTENTIAL OUTPUT ESTIMATES-A NEW LOOK1
Vietnam has undergone a major transition in the last decade. This paper seeks to assess how this transformation has affected its growth potential. Employing a range of methodologies, the analysis concludes that Vietnam's medium-term growth potential has increased from 6.2 percent estimated in 2014 to 6.5 percent.

Acceleration of reforms that have generated productivity gains in the last decade, including the implementation of agreed free trade agreements, could further boost growth potential.

1. Vietnam has undergone a major transformation in the last decade. A very productive export-oriented sector financed by FDI has boomed, and in 2017, was responsible for more than two-thirds of Vietnamese exports and a third of the ASEAN's tech exports. Urbanization has progressed and, concomitantly, employment has continued to shift away from agriculture toward industry and the service sectors, further boosting productivity. The large state-owned enterprise (SOE) sector, which has historically been a barrier to the development of a vibrant private sector, is undergoing equitization and reforms. These measures are helping to limit state involvement in the economy by restricting SOE operations to core areas. Together, these forces have contributed to increase Vietnam's productivity.
