Bottom line

The World Bank's World Development Report 2005 is just out at http://siteresources.worldbank.org/INTWDR2005/Resources/complete_report.pdf. It's all about making money this year since its subtitle is A better investment climate for everyone. Why the focus on investment? According to the Report, the investment climate is central to growth and poverty reduction, and it urges governments around the world to tackle costs, risks, and barriers to competition. The Report draws on surveys of more than 30,000 firms in 53 developing countries, but also includes country case studies sponsored by the World Bank itself.
