The reform reduced tariffs and interest rates, terminated public monopolies and allowed autocratic approval of FDI ( Foreign Direct Investments) in many sectors.

Agriculture: 18.1% of the total GDP 3. Services: 56.6% of the GDP 4. Total Labor force: 487.6 million 5. Labor force in services: 34% ~ 165.5 million IT and India India gained recognition due to its IT and ITES sector. The ITES can be broadly classified into IT Services and BPO (Business processing outsourcing). The first software export zone setup in India was in Mumbai, the SEEPZ Park, in 1973. Significant growth has taken place since then in the IT Services sector and consequently the net contribution to the GDP has been growing ever since. India’s reputation as both as a source and a destination for skilled workforce helped improve its relations with a number of world economies...

...Mada 2013 I. Background Sectorial Structures of World Economies According to World Bank, one way to determine the structure of economy is by analyzing its three main sectors; agriculture, industry, and services in the country’s total output and employment. Initially, the agriculture is the main sector of developing countries. The shift comes to industrialization and post-industrialization. Industrialization assumed to increase and replace the agriculture because modernization refers to specialization of economic function, monetization of transaction, and homogenization of goods and services (Venida, 2000). The homogenization is formed by the improvement and innovation in technology enhancing the agricultural products. As the requirement of productivity and quality in agriculture increases, the innovation and function of technology has become the obstacle of the growing industry. Source: World Bank (http://www.worldbank.org/depweb/beyond/beyondco/beg_09.pdf) As the income rises, goods become immaterial. People no longer rely on materials since needs are already satisfied. Instead, they will concern about services including health, education, entertainment, etc. Unfortunately, services sector tend to be less mechanization since services generally cannot be completed by machines. Therefore, the demand of service labors keep increasing. Developed country tend to be undergoing “post industrialization” which the country give less dependence to agriculture. This study is purposed...

...EXC 9210 Introduction to International Economics Student Name: HE Yining Student Number: 25401696 Date of submission: 27/09/2013 Q1.Factors behind changes in demand of Auto industry in Australia There has been a steady decline in Australian's auto industry since the last decade. While there were five car companies residing in Australia previously, now there are only three left, which is Ford, Holden and Toyota, and Ford has announced their closure of manufacturing plant in 2016 (ABC, 2013). This steady decline in the industry is driven by the declining demand of Australian made cars. There are several reasons behind changes in demand for Australia cars in the recent years. One of the reasons commonly stated is the strong Australian dollar compared to other currencies. The higher dollar as opposed to other currencies made it that producing cars in Australia is relatively more expensive compared to other countries. The rising prices of Australian dollar can be seen at this table: Year | Quarter | Yen | US Dollar | Euro | Won | 2007 | March | 94 | 0.79 | 0.60 | 742 | | June | 101 | 0.83 | 0.62 | 773 | | September | 100 | 0.85 | 0.62 | 789 | | December | 101 | 0.90 | 0.61 | 825 | 2008 | March | 95 | 0.92 | 0.60 | 879 | | June | 100 | 0.95 | 0.61 | 975 | | September | 93 | 0.87 | 0.58 | 953 | | December | 63 | 0.67 | 0.51 | 893 | 2009 | March | 63 | 0.66 | 0.51 | 942 | | June | 75 | 0.78 | 0.56 | 988 | | September...

...Mfula talks about differing forecasts of Zambia’s GDP growth in 2010, citing reasons why the GDP of Zambia forecasts a growth of 6.6% in 2010.This forecast is based on improving outputs of the mining, agriculture and tourism sectors. The article highlights that the previous forecast of 5.8% in June was as a result of sluggish global recovery. Furthermore previous forecasts of 7% were dismissed as a result of overall budget deficits resulting from increased spending on infrastructure and the social sector. Lastly the Finance minister reiterates that inflation rate forecasts still remain at 8% for 2010 and also explains that the strong kwacha (currency of Zambia) will help contain inflation. Zambia is a land locked English speaking Eastern African country which has Lusaka as its capital and shares borders with Malawi, D.R Congo Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Angola just to name a few. Zambia has a population of approximately 12.9 million spending the kwacha and enjoys a GDP per capita of $1144.3. Most citizens engage in agriculture for a livelihood. These agricultural products include maize, sunflower seeds; coffee, livestock and sorghum just to mention a few. Nevertheless, agriculture does not form a major percentage of Zambia’s exports. Zambia’s main exports include copper, tobacco, maize and cotton. Zambia also imports copper ores, petroleum oils, machinery and vehicles to enhance production and transport of goods and services. Zambia’s leading trade partners include China...

...SERVICE INDUSTRY IMPACT ON NATIONAL ECONOMIES Student’s Name Course code + name Professor’s name University City, State Date Introduction Service industry is a business category that involves the provision of services to other businesses or to final customers. Service industry has improved in the recent decades forming the backbone of several nations’ economies. The common service industries include tourism, computer services, entrepreneurship and accounting among many others. The growth of the service industry has been reflected in several economic platforms. For instance, the current list of Fortune 500 companies has more service companies on it compared to manufacturing companies (Encyclopedia Britannica, 2015). In addition, the old product oriented business tradition has been replaced by a service-product continuum. This business revolution is happening in both the developed and developing countries as a result of a high price elasticity of demand of services. This means that services have dominated the economies of these countries leading to an overall global economic change. Background of the Service Industry The service industry has been in the economy for a long period of time. In Africa, during the ages of barter trade, services still existed but they were not valued as they were termed as ‘free services’. For instance, during the barter trade age, there existed medicine people, traditional educators among other service providers (Gancarczyk, 2014). These people...

...of economy – aspirations, health, and literacy – are all registering discernible improvements. Over two decades, India has implemented wide-ranging reforms that opened up the economy, dismantled the old licensing system and introduced competition into a number of sectors that had previously been dominated by public monopolies. Now, we live in a generation of relative abundance. While for the Western world it is going to be a demographic winter, we in India with some effort should be reaping a demo- graphic dividend. It is an India full of goodies –better consumption and lifestyle are in attendance all around. From the past two decades, we saw the twists in its growth and also twist in political atmosphere. With 27 per cent of the economy stagnant, it is no surprise that overall growth in India has slipped below 6 per cent. We are referring to the industrial sector, which has recorded an insipid 0.4 per cent growth in the first five months of this fiscal year beginning April 2013. It needs no emphasis that without a turnaround in this sector, a material lift to India's GDP growth is not possible. Industrial growth had slipped during the Lehman crisis as well, but that was largely explained by sharp contraction in the GDP growth rate across global economies for the first time since the World War II. 1.1-Introduction to the field of study Since 1991, India is moving towards higher achievement and it took...

...University of Lahore Islamabad Campus for giving me such kind of opportunities. Thank you Hooria Majid ABSTRACT Taxes affect citizens, economy of the country, businesses, governance mechanisms, etc. Not only revenue mobilization, an effective system of taxation helps in formalizing the economy, encourages economic growth, shapes political cohesion between tiers of the Government, and results in increase in social sector service delivery. We are now quite used to hearing the rhetoric by the government and bureaucracy on how Pakistan has one of the world’s lowest tax to GDP ratios since long (by their account it has stood between 9.50 and 10.40 percent in recent years), which also happens to be extremely low when compared to its neighboring countries and similar economies. So Government is unable to allocate reasonable funds for development projects. Although Pakistan has adopted best practices of the World through Income Tax Ordinance 2001 and formulation of Inland...

...Discuss the trend productivity in all sectors in Malaysia. In Malaysia, basically there are four main sectors which is the services sector, the manufacturing sector, the agriculture sector, and the construction sector. The Malaysia’s labor productivity as measured by real added value per employee in 2014 improved by 3.5% at RM61,708 from RM59,622 in 2013. The growth in productivity was a contributing factor to the higher growth in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at 6.0%. Trend Productivity in Services Sector Labor productivity within the services sector grew at 2.2% to RM63,897 per employee in 2014, compared with RM62,492 per employee in 2013. Most sub-sectors recorded higher productivity growth, although declines were recorded in accommodation and food and beverage service activities, information and communication (ICT), financial and insurance/takaful activities and real estate and business services. Despite its key role as the largest contributor to GDP in the Malaysian economy, the services sector has much to do before it can become the primary driver of future job creation and productivity growth. At the international level, the productivity of Malaysia’s services sector lags far behind other countries. Apart from that, one of the challenges facing Malaysia’s services sector is that it has failed to successfully diversify into export-oriented sub-sectors such as financial and ICT services. Trend Productivity in Manufacturing Sector As the country progresses towards becoming...

...research highlighted a direct link between the significance of service industry and economic growth performance based on US and European data (Bart et al., 2008). Attributable to, however, limited availability of service industry company level data particularly that on economies of scale, policy making in order to increase service industry output rely on previous studies and observation of cumulative global data (Morikawa, 2011). Attributable to the sovereign debt crisis, the quantity and quality of available resources and innovations has undergone serious deformation, which is measured by increased job losses, unemployment, and decreased number of investments. Consumption declined and governments applied various actions to stimulate the economic growth. The three main Industries have been facing tough times and responded differently, whilst these times the service industry has not only been resilient, but also has gone under transformation regarding its structure (Breyers, 2011). The intent in this paper is to underscore the importacy of service industry and prove the following hypothesis: ,,The service industry dominates the national economies of the developed countries.’’ At the first place in order to demonstrate briefly industrialization and post industrialization, the expansion of the service industry with economic growth is outlined. Moreover, this section addresses the problem of expansion of service industry for the long run. Secondly, to support the...
