Актуальность работы обусловлена необходимостью изучения проблем молибденовой промышленности России. Цель: изучение динамики товарных потоков (производства, импорта, экспорта, потребления) молибденовых продуктов (молибденитовых концентратов и ферромолибдена), их цен (мировых, российского импорта и экспорта) и долей участия российским молибденовых продуктов в мировом хозяйстве; выработка рекомендаций по оптимизации товарооборота молибденовой продукции. Методы: статистический, графический, логический. В результате анализа динамики товарных потоков молибденовых продуктов и цен на них, результатов деятельности добывающих и перерабатывающих предприятий установлены значительные изменения состояния российской молибденовой промышленности. До 2005 г. молибденовая отрасль России находилась в кризисном состоянии, экспортируя значительную часть молибденитового концентрата и импортируя большую часть потребляемого ферромолибдена. В результате резкого увеличения в 2004-2008 гг. мировых цен на практически все молибденовые продукты стали привлекательны инвестиции в проекты молибденовой отрасли. Построены новые ферромолибденовые заводы (Сорский и Жирекенский), началась подготовка проектов добычи молибдена на новых месторождениях (молибденовые Агаскырское и Бурдаинское, Ак-Сугское меднопорфировое, Южно-Шамейское вольфрам-молибденовое), появился значительный экспортный поток ферромолибдена. Спад мировых цен на молибденовые продукты начиная с 2009 г. привел к откату активности в молибденовой отрасли России, но в целом ее состояние не критично. Добыча молибденового сырья перестала быть экспортоориентированной, а с появлением дефицита национального потребления появилась и формальная импортная зависимость (20-36 % от потребления). Возникает необходимость наращивания национального производства (добычи) молибденовых руд и концентратов. Сформировался принципиально новый технологический поток сквозной импорто-экспортной торговли, когда импортируется молибденитовый концентрат, а произведенный из него ферромолибден направляется на экспорт. Для улучшения ситуации в российской молибденовой промышленности рекомендуется: ускорение восстановления остановленных добывающих и перерабатывающих предприятий; вовлечение в эксплуатацию новых молибденовых месторождений; использование новых технологий обогащения и переработки молибденового сырья; организация производства новых товарных продуктов - оксидов молибдена и молибдатов. Objective: to study the dynamics of commodity flows (production, import, export, consumption) of molybdenum products (molybdenum concentrates and ferromolybdenum), their prices (world, Russian imports and exports) and the share of Russian molybdenum products in the world economy; to develop recommendations for optimizing the turnover of molybdenum products. Research methods: statistical, graphical, logical. As a result of the analysis of the dynamics in commodity flows of molybdenum products and prices for them, the results of the activities of mining and processing enterprises, significant changes in the state of the Russian molybdenum industry are established. Until 2005, the Russian molybdenum industry was in a state of crisis, exporting a significant part of the molybdenum concentrate and importing most of the consumed ferromolybdenum. As a result of a sharp increase in 2004-2008 in the world prices for almost all molybdenum products the investments into projects in the molybdenum industry have become attractive. New ferromolybdenum plants were built (Sorsky and Zhirekensky), preparation of projects for molybdenum extraction at new fields (Agaskyrskoye and Burdainskoye molybdenum fields, Ak-Sug copper-porphyry, Yuzhno-Shameyskoye tungsten-molybdenum), and significant export flow of ferromolybdenum appeared. The decline in global prices for molybdenum products since 2009 has led to a pullback in activity in the Russian molybdenum industry, but this is not critical. The extraction of molybdenum raw materials ceased to be export-oriented, and with the appearance of a deficit in national consumption, formal import dependence (20-36 % of consumption) also appeared. There is a need to increase national production (extraction) of molybdenum ores and concentrates. A fundamentally new technological flow of transit import-export trade was formed, when molybdenum concentrate is imported, and the ferromolybdenum produced from it is sent for export. To improve the situation in the Russian molybdenum industry, it is recommended to: accelerate the recovery of stopped mining and processing enterprises; involve new molybdenum deposits in operation; use new technologies for processing molybdenum raw materials; organize the production of new commodity products - molybdenum oxides and molybdates.

This report highlights recent economic updates in Bangladesh as of April 2015. Economic growth in Bangladesh was gaining momentum in the first half of FY15. Capacity utilization improved and investments were showing some signs of recovery. This growth was also job-friendly. The 12-monthly-moving average inflation decelerated from 7.6 percent in February 2014 to 6.8 percent in February 2015. The resilience of the Bangladesh economy continues to be tested by faltering political stability, weak global markets, and structural constraints. These are inhibiting the economy s income growth as well as progress on shared prosperity. Despite the emergence of a $1.3 billion deficit in the current account in the first seven months of FY15, the surplus in the overall balance of payments has been sustained, leading to continued accumulation of official foreign exchange reserves to prevent nominal exchange rate appreciation. Reserves are at a comfortable level at over 6 months of imports of goods and services. Fiscal policy has remained consistent with macroeconomic stability. Tax revenue growth has been weaker than targeted while expenditure have also been short due as usual to an implementation shortfall. The projected recovery in global growth, particularly in the United States and the Euro Zone, and continued softness in international commodity prices, bode well for Bangladesh. The country will need to restore political stability and implement faster structural reforms to capitalize on these opportunities. The potential GDP growth rate is on a declining path due to declining labor force growth and stagnant productivity growth, as well as the rate of capital accumulation. Raising the low Female Labor Force Participation (FLFP) rate offers on opportunity to boost the economy s potential growth rate. Moving forward, the biggest challenge remains ensuring durable political stability. This is a precondition for accelerated, inclusive, and sustainable growth.

This Poverty and Social Impact Analysis (PSIA) is part of a broader dialogue on energy tax reform and strengthening social safety nets in Djibouti. As part of a possible reform of energy taxes in Djibouti, the government of Djibouti has sought the support of the World Bank to better understand how such a policy reform can be pro-poor. The study was designed and implemented by a multisectoral committee composed of various stakeholder institutions, including the Ministry of Economy and Finance, the Ministry of Budget, the Secretary of State responsible for National Solidarity (SESN), the Department of Statistics and Demographic Studies (DISED), the Ministry of Energy, and the Ministry of Transport, with whom the teams of the Bank and the IMF collaborated throughout the process of preparation of the study. Technical meetings were held on January 30, February 2, May 25, May 28, and May 29, 2014, in Djibouti to discuss the various scenarios of reform, obtain additional information, and present preliminary quantitative results. Consultation meetings were held on July 2 and November 15, 2014, to present the findings and discuss possible reform options. This executive summary condenses the main findings of the study. The study is available as a separate report with more analyses and background information. The study is based on data from a representative household survey which includes detailed information on household expenditures and receipt of certain cash and in-kind benefits (EDAM 3-2012). The tables in this executive summary show 2014 prices, with inflation rates of 2.5 and 2.9 for 2013 and 2014, respectively.
