    TRADE in CRITICAL COVID-19 PRODUCTS 1 Alvaro Espitia, Nadia Rocha, Michele Ruta2 March 27, 2020

    Trade and COVID-19 Guidance Note TRADE IN CRITICAL COVID-19 PRODUCTS 1 Alvaro Espitia, Nadia Rocha, Michele Ruta2 March 27, 2020 Public Disclosure Authorized The covid-19 pandemic is increasingly a concern for developing countries. Using a new database on trade in covid-19 relevant products, this paper looks at the role of trade policy to address the looming health crisis in developing countries with highest numbers of recorded cases. It shows that export restrictions by leading producers could cause significant disruption in supplies and contribute to price increases. Tariffs and other restrictions to imports further impair the flow of critical products to developing countries. While covid-19 is most virulent today in Europe and North America, many developing countries are experiencing increasing numbers of cases. The Economist warned that the pandemic could have devastating effects on developing countries. As the health crisis unfolds, some have argued that trade and trade policy can be part of the solution or part of the problem (Baldwin and Tomiura, 2020; Bown, 2020; Gonzalez, 2020; Evenett, 2020: Mattoo and Ruta, 2020; Posen, 2020). Based on a new database on covid-19 trade flows and policies (Espitia, Rocha, Ruta, 2020), we document how uncooperative trade policies can lead to shortages of critical medical supplies and higher prices in the 20 developing countries most hit by the crisis so far.3 Public Disclosure Authorized Developing countries depend on imports for critical covid-19 products The World Health Organization Covid-19 Disease Community Package (DCP) contains 17 products that are considered key to deal with the current crisis.

    Mario Draghi: Laudatio for Theo Waigel

    Mario Draghi: Laudatio for Theo Waigel Speech by Mr Mario Draghi, President of the European Central Bank, in honour of Dr Theodor Waigel, at SignsAwards, Munich, 17 June 2016. * * * James Freeman Clarke, a 19th century theologian, once observed that “a politician is a man who thinks of the next election, while a statesman thinks of the next generation”. This captures well why we are here to honour Theo Waigel today. Theo Waigel’s political career cannot just be defined by the elections he won, however many there were during his 30 years in the Bundestag. Nor can it be defined by his time as head of the CSU and as finance minister of Germany. It is defined by his legacy: a legacy that is still shaping Europe today. He became finance minister in 1989 at a turning-point in post-war European history – when the Iron Curtain that divided Europe was being lifted; when the walls and barbed wire that divided Germany were being removed. It was a time of great hopes and expectations. But it was also a time of some anxiety. It was clear that the successful reunification of Germany would be a tremendous undertaking. And many wondered what those changes would mean for the European Community – whether it would upset the balance of power that had prevailed between nations since the war. In that uncertain setting, Theo Waigel’s leadership was pivotal – both as a German and as a European. He was one of the strongest advocates of German reunification, and was instrumental in getting Germany’s federal and state governments to finance the reconstruction and modernisation of East Germany.

    What Does GERMANY Think About Europe?

    WHat doEs GERMaNY tHiNk aboUt europE? Edited by Ulrike Guérot and Jacqueline Hénard aboUt ECFR The European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) is the first pan-European think-tank. Launched in October 2007, its objective is to conduct research and promote informed debate across Europe on the development of coherent, effective and values-based European foreign policy. ECFR has developed a strategy with three distinctive elements that define its activities: •a pan-European Council. ECFR has brought together a distinguished Council of over one hundred Members - politicians, decision makers, thinkers and business people from the EU’s member states and candidate countries - which meets once a year as a full body. Through geographical and thematic task forces, members provide ECFR staff with advice and feedback on policy ideas and help with ECFR’s activities within their own countries. The Council is chaired by Martti Ahtisaari, Joschka Fischer and Mabel van Oranje. • a physical presence in the main EU member states. ECFR, uniquely among European think-tanks, has offices in Berlin, London, Madrid, Paris, Rome and Sofia. In the future ECFR plans to open offices in Warsaw and Brussels. Our offices are platforms for research, debate, advocacy and communications. • a distinctive research and policy development process. ECFR has brought together a team of distinguished researchers and practitioners from all over Europe to advance its objectives through innovative projects with a pan-European focus. ECFR’s activities include primary research, publication of policy reports, private meetings and public debates, ‘friends of ECFR’ gatherings in EU capitals and outreach to strategic media outlets.

    t. r Conservative Central Office 32 Smith Square Westminster SWIP 3HH Tel. 01-222 9000 Telex 8814563 From THE CHAIRMAN OF THE PARTY John Selwyn Gummer MP November 1984 As you will recall, I led a group of twelve parliamentary colleagues to Bonn earlier this month to meet with members of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group. increasing number of daTacts be'tween all levels of our parties over the last four years, greatly assisted by the London office of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, this was the first such meeting of its kind. The main objective on this occasion was to begin the process of establishing close friendly relationships between individual members, and good progress was made towards this. Some thirty CDU/CSU members participated in our discussions, which broadly covered three areas: the European contribution to strengthening the Atlantic Alliance; the European role in East/West policy; and European economic integration as a force for international competitiveness. The contributions were even more free- ranging than these headings suggest, and their value lay rather more in the informative nature of the exchange of views for individual members than in breaking any new ground. Nevertheless, it is worth underlining the emphasis generally placed by German members on the development of European defence policy, in harmony with overall NATO strategy; and, in particular, their view that the Western European Union should be given a more dynamic role. It was also noteworthy that some Germans expressed the hope that their government would take a more liberal attitude towards internal Community competition (even in the field of insurance and lorry permits!).

    Ostracized in the West, Elected in the East – the Successors of the SED

    Volume 10. One Germany in Europe, 1989 – 2009 The Red Socks (June 24, 1994) The unexpected success of the successor party to the SED, the Party of Democratic Socialism (PDS), at the ballot box in East Germany put the established (Western) parties in a difficult situation: what response was called for, ostracism or integration? The essay analyzes the reasons behind the success of the PDS in the East and the changing party membership. The Party that Lights a Fire Ostracized in the West, voted for in the East – the successors to the SED are drawing surprising support. Discontent over reunification, GDR nostalgia, or a yearning for socialism – what makes the PDS attractive? Last Friday, around 12:30 pm, a familiar ritual began in the Bundestag. When representative Uwe-Jens Heuer of the PDS stepped to the lectern, the parliamentary group of the Union [CDU/CSU] transformed itself into a raging crowd. While Heuer spoke of his party’s SED past, heckling cries rained down on him: “nonsense,” “outrageous.” The PDS makes their competitors’ blood boil, more so than ever. Saxony-Anhalt votes for a new Landtag [state parliament] on Sunday, and the successor to the SED could get twenty percent of the vote. It did similarly well in the European elections in several East German states. In municipal elections, the PDS has often emerged as the strongest faction, for example, in Halle, Schwerin, Rostock, Neubrandenburg, and Hoyerswerda. A specter is haunting East Germany. Is socialism celebrating a comeback, this time in democratic guise? All of the Bonn party headquarters are in a tizzy.

    Memo to the President of the World Bank

    MEMORANDUM ON INTERNATIONAL POLICY ADVICE FOR THE WORLD BANK To: The President of the World Bank From: Pinelopi (Penny) Koujianou Goldberg November 2020 Background: The World Bank has always been a complex institution trying to balance the Pinelopi (Penny) diverse needs and priorities of its member countries and its shareholders. As the last quarter Koujianou Goldberg, nonresident senior of 2020 approaches, the World Bank faces global challenges (pandemic, increasing poverty, fellow at the Peterson climate change) amidst a gradually deglobalizing world. Tensions between two of its major Institute for International Economics, is the Elihu shareholders, the United States and China, have cast doubt on the future of global trade and Professor of Economics multilateral cooperation. The runup to the 2020 US presidential election has added to this at Yale University. She uncertainty, though regardless of the outcome, there does appear to be bipartisan support was chief economist of the World Bank Group for turning inward, cutting ties to China, and reshoring economic activities. between November 2018 and March 2020. The current policy environment in combination with the pandemic—and against the backdrop of rising automation—makes it unlikely that policymakers can rely on the export-led model of growth and development that many international institutions have advocated in the past. The increasing use of robots makes developing countries’ traditional comparative advantage in low-skilled manufacturing less relevant, while newly imposed protectionist measures in high-income countries may discourage imports from low-wage countries in the future. With trade and immigration tensions rising, cooperation among member countries and shareholders will become more difficult, making effective decisions even more arduous.
