Lifting Growth in the Western Balkans: The Role of Global Value Chains and Services Exports (Departmental Paper Series; Number 19/13) by Nadeem Ilahi, Armine Khachatryan, William Lindquist et al - 2019

International Monetary Fund, 2019. Paperback. New Book. Paperback. This report describes how exports and trade can play a stronger role in Western Balkan countries by drawing on the experience of new European Union member states and contending that countries will need to move away from domestic demand-driven growth models and rely more on exports. It explains how this can be achieved by enhancing integration with global value chains, expanding services exports, and raising imports' contribution to export growth.
