Against this background, South Korea s new growth strategy should aim to achieve both a demand side rebalancing and supply side productivity increases.

The opening was less than it seemed. The devil is in the details, as many less developed countries discovered that EBA s complicated rules of origin, together with supply side constraints, meant that there was little chance for poor countries to export their newly liberalized products.

The joint communiqué of 25 September 2005 of the Development Committee of the World Bank and the IMF reinforced the need for increased aid for trade to address supply side constraints and enhance the capacity of developing countries to take advantage of expanded trade opportunities.

The resulting supply constraints exacerbated inflation. So, even as growth slowed, the central bank raised interest rates in order to rebalance demand and the available supply, causing the economy to slow further.

This complex challenge must be tackled through a comprehensive approach that addresses both the supply side and the demand side of the equation.

The main point is that restoring growth requires a careful analysis of structural balance, attention to demand constraints in the non tradable sector, and a focus on the impediments to expanding the tradable sector. Some of those impediments are supply side rigidities others have more to do with bloated domestic demand.

General Assembly resolution 60 1, adopted by the 2005 World Summit, held in New York from 14 to 16 September 2005, makes several references to the importance of trade as an engine for development (para. 21) and the commitment to support developing countries' efforts to overcome supply side constraints (para.

Global supply networks shifted again, accommodating fragmentation and dispersion on both the supply and demand sides of their structure, a process sometimes called technologically enabled atomization the division of supply networks into finer and finer parts, breaking the bonds of proximity and the resulting transaction cost constraints that previously prevailed.

Germany cannot, however, indulge its obsession with supply side reforms without also pursuing growth enhancing policies. As Germany knows from its own experience in the early 2000s, the benefits of supply side reforms namely, improved competitiveness and higher long term growth rates take a long time to emerge.

Anyone familiar with China s structural shifts on the supply and demand side will recognize some similarities with the German case.

In removing supply side constraints, the focus of enabling services is on improving the necessary preconditions that support manufacture of products with high export potential and the provision of assistance in relation to enterprise upgrading, innovation, technology acquisition, investment as well as increasing the capacity to meet international standards, technical requirements and environmental regulations standards.

The strengthening of supply side capacity encompasses also the identification of export products and those that encounter technical barriers to trade.

This is because effective trade liberalization has been mostly limited to the import sector, while only a few policy measures were implemented to reduce supply constraints on the export sector.

In addition, the promotion of investment and technology transfer, and international best practices related to process product upgrading, including quality management, cleaner technology and supply chain management are key to enabling the removal of supply side impediments.

Dramatic changes in design methodology and organization on the supply side have also contributed to a greater need to globalize R D work.

In this regard, provisions contained in many COP 6 decisions may be considered to point towards such collaborative arrangements where the secretariat's emphasis is on the demand' side, while the GM focuses on the supply' side.

As the contiguous poor areas, Luliang implemented the strategy of rural vitalization, and promoted the supply side reform in agriculture to help alleviate poverty.

China acknowledges that high levels of air and water pollution create discomfort and harm the public s health. Government spending on remedying environmental damage could absorb substantial funds if demand side weakness exacerbates the expected supply side slowdown.

Taxpayer funded bank rescues, higher bank capital requirements, and ultra easy monetary policy have all been vital to overcome credit supply constraints. But there is strong evidence that once the immediate crisis was over, lack of demand for credit played a far larger role than restricted supply in impeding economic growth.

Constraints

The gap between actual and potential GDP is thus a gauge of an economy s spare capacity. The distinction is also useful for policy purposes weak potential growth cannot be addressed by demand side initiatives supply side measures are needed.

Barring a true negative supply side shock, global stagflation is thus unlikely. Recent rises in oil, energy and other commodity prices reflect a variety of factors

When there is sufficient excess supply in the economy, promoting supply side productivity is practically useless without efforts to boost demand. That implies that it was not appropriate to focus on growth until the deflation gap narrowed considerably that is, until now.
