  • Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania - Labour Relations and Social Dialogue
    Regional Project on Labour Relations and Social Dialogue Annual Review 2013 Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania - Labour Relations and Social Dialogue Author: Aija Lulle 1, PhD candidate and researcher at the University of Latvia Executive Summary Baltic States entered the EU in 2004. Estonia also joined the euro zone in 2011; Latvia will join on 1st Janu- ary 2014, while in Lithuania will join a year later, on 1 st January 2015 (EC EFA). At the macro level, all three Baltic States continued to demonstrate recovery from economic and financial crisis in 2013. Emigration is still among the most pressing issues in Latvia and Lithuania, in Estonia, though, to lesser extent. Although there have been improvements, shadow economy was still staying relatively high in the Baltic States: In Estonia 19.2% and Lithuania 18.2%, whereas in Latvia it was 21.1% of GDP in 2012. Non-taxed wages, usually paid in cash, constitute with 40% the largest proportion of all shadow economy. In 2013 all three states had GDP growth and employment rate increase among the highest in the EU. Ac- cording to the UNDP Human development reports in 2012 Estonia was placed among a Very High Human Development countries ’ group giving a 33th place (up from 34 th in 2010) among 42 most developed World economies in 2011-2012. Lithuania remained in a High Human Development group, occupying 41 th (but up from 44 th in 2010), while Latvia was at 44th place in the same groups with Lithuania. Trade unions (TU’s) remain rather weak in the Baltic States despite being involved in social dialogue and international cooperation, including access to competitive funding for various projects.

  • Banking Sector Concentration, Competition and Financial Stability
    Banking sector concentration, competition and financial stability: the case of the Baltic countries Juan Carlos Cuestas∗ Yannick Lucotte† Nicolas Reigl‡ March 1, 2019 Abstract This paper empirically assesses the potential nonlinear relationship be- tween competition and bank risk for a sample of commercial banks in the Baltic countries over the period 2000-2014. Competition is measured by two alternative indexes, the Lerner index and the market share, while we consider the Z-score and loan loss reserves as proxies for bank risk. In line with the theoretical predictions of Martinez-Miera and Repullo (2010), we find an inverse U-shaped relationship between competition and financial stability. This then means that above a certain threshold, the lack of competition is likely to exacerbate the individual risk-taking behaviour of banks, and could be detrimental to the stability of the banking sector in the Baltic countries. The threshold is around 0.60 for the Lerner index, and close to 50% for market share in terms of assets. The policy implica- tions are that the existence of such a threshold suggests that the future evolution of the structure of the banking industry in these countries is of critical importance. Specifically, this implies that policy-makers should place greater emphasis on mergers and acquisitions to avoid any signifi- cant increase of banking sector concentration.

  • Eu Bop Assistance to Latvia –
    EUROPEAN COMMISSION DIRECTORATE GENERAL ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL AFFAIRS Brussels, 15 January 2013 EU BOP ASSISTANCE TO LATVIA – SECOND REVIEW UNDER POST-PROGRAMME SURVEILLANCE _________________________________________________ 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The assessment of Latvian post-programme policies, when compared to commitments in the latest SMoU, is overall positive but also raises important concerns. The structural reforms are pushed forward, even though there are some delays in implementation, and the numerical budgetary targets are persistently overachieved due to a better economic situation and improvements in revenue collection. The government has made significant progress during the past year on important issues like implementing state owned asset management reform, reviewing active labour market and social policies, pursuing the fight against the grey economy, and initiating reforms in higher education and science. Overall, the authorities seem to have taken the commitments seriously and the increased quality of policymaking of individual ministers and the Cabinet promises good reform and development prospects going forward. Progress with reforms and positive macroeconomic developments led to an upgrade by two major rating agencies and successful international bond issuance in February and December 2012 which allowed Latvia to re-pay the entire IMF loan significantly ahead of schedule. At the same time, better economic and budgetary results, coupled with the end of close surveillance under the BoP, have led to some complacency, a relaxation

CAMPINAS 2013 iii iv v vi RESUMO Esta tese analisa a política externa de energia dos Estados Unidos na Ásia Central e no Cáucaso após a Guerra Fria. Ambas as regiões foram incluídas na grande estratégia do país, pois o fim da fronteira ideológica criou a oportunidade para que os Estados Unidos estendessem sua hegemonia. Como os recursos energéticos regionais representavam novas opções para o mercado global e condicionavam as relações entre as antigas repúblicas soviéticas, os assuntos de energia tornaram-se o princípio orientador da política externa dos Estados Unidos para essas regiões. Ademais, controlar o comércio global de energia sempre fora parte do processo de construção da Pax Americana. Nos governos Bill Clinton e George W. Bush, o planejamento implicou uma política de “portas abertas” para que o capital internacional não encontrasse barreiras de entrada. O objetivo era desenvolver os setores de petróleo e gás, e a capacidade de exportação dos países produtores.
