Book Description
This supplement presents country case studies reviewing energy subsidy reform experiences, which are the basis for the reform lessons identified in the main paper. The selection of countries for the case studies reflects the availability of data and of previously documented evidence on country-specific reforms. The 22 country case studies were also chosen to provide cases from all regions and a mix of outcomes from reform. The studies cover 19 countries, including seven from sub-Saharan Africa, two in developing Asia, three in the Middle East and North Africa, four in Latin America and the Caribbean, and three in Central and Eastern Europe and the CIS. The case studies are organized by energy product, with 14 studies of the reform of petroleum product subsidies, seven studies of the reform of electricity subsidies, and a case study of subsidy reform for coal. The larger number of studies on fuel subsidies reflects the wider availability of data and past studies for these reforms. The structure of each case study is similar, with each one providing the context of the reform and a description of the reforms; discussion of the impact of the reform on energy prices or subsidies and its success or failure; mitigating measures that were implemented in an attempt to generate public support for the reform and offset adverse effects on the poor; and, finally, identification of lessons for designing reforms.

A Man Called Tet
Author: Jose Dalisay Jr.
Publisher: Anvil Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 971273188X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 164
Book Description
His colleagues called him “the pitbull of Congress”—not without some affection—knowing that once he had latched on to a cause, Enrique “Tet” Garcia Jr. would not let go, no matter the political fallout. Serving both as congressman and governor of Bataan, Garcia transformed the province into a national model in such areas as health, education, and business development. He defended Bataan’s interests, threatened by opportunistic elements, arguing on Bataan’s behalf before the Supreme Court even if he had no law degree. But beyond Bataan, he has addressed national issues, uncovering a scam that has defrauded the government of untold billions of pesos, and leading a campaign to give local governments their due from national revenues. This book is the biography of an extraordinary public servant, living proof that right-minded, God-fearing leaders still exist among Filipinos today, who are passing on their values, experience, and hopes to a new generation.

Pages : 410
Book Description
As East and Southeast Asia continue to modernize and urbanize, their demand for energy will soar. Besides seeking to import fossil fuels from the Middle East, Africa, the Caspian Region, Russia, Latin America, Australia, etc., it is imperative for these Asian countries to cooperate in substantially raising the efficiency with which energy is consumed. This book offers a comprehensive examination of East and Southeast Asia's energy conservation policies. It begins with a summary of the current and projected energy supply and demand patterns in the region, and a discussion about the need and basis for cooperation in energy conservation. This is followed by an examination of the energy conservation policies and progress to date in seven ASEAN countries and in China, Japan and Korea.

Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 950
Book Description
This book takes stock of and analyzes the events during the Asian financial crisis (AFC) and subsequent developments, including the global financial crisis (GFC), that led to the development of the ASEAN+3 regional financial cooperation framework and the establishment of the ASEAN+3 Macroeconomic Research Office.

The book not only presents an analytical and deeper examination of country experiences during both crises, but also assesses the two crises and covers the lessons learnt from the crises, particularly with a focus on the development of regional financial cooperation. The book concludes with regional financial cooperation in retrospect, aiming to catalyze further discussions on the direction of the region's financial cooperation.
