-
The countries of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union are experiencing a third transition, a transition that overlaps with their recent political and economic transitions. This third transition-from red to gray-is unique. Populations have been aging quite rapidly in many countries. This report examines the possible impact of this third transition. It analyzes projections and policy outlooks for a whole range of issues, from labor markets to pension policies, from health care to savings and capital markets. It concludes that although aging in the region is occurring in the context of unprecedentedly weak institutional development, countries can avoid severe economic consequences if they accelerate their economic transition and undertake longer-term policies to meet the aging challenge.

-
This article presents the results of the surveys of FDI experts, transnational corporations and investment promotion agencies in UNCTAD's Global Investment Prospects Assessment (GIPA). According to their predictions, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) will continue to grow over the short and medium term. However, there were a number of surprises in the investment locations selected as most attractive, as well as in the ranking for the most important FDI source countries, with many developing countries among the top 10 or top 15. Prospects for FDI vary significantly by industry, the UNCTAD surveys find. The outlook for the services sector will continue to be more positive than for the manufacturing or primary sectors. Published by the UNCTAD.
