World Development Report 2020: Trading for Development in the Age of Global Value Chains
October 2019
This report examines whether there is still a path to development through global value chains (GVCs) and trade. It concludes that technological change is at this stage more a boon than a curse. GVCs can continue to boost growth, create better jobs, and reduce poverty provided that developing countries implement deeper reforms to promote GVC participation, industrial countries pursue open, predictable policies, and all countries revive multilateral cooperation.

This report identifies policies and targeted interventions that will help drive development in Vietnam through leveraging global value chain (GVC) participation that take major shifts in trade policy and rapid technological advances in ICT into account. Readers will gain a strong understanding of Vietnam’s current and potential engagement with GVCs—and will learn about strategic GVC policy tools that can help developing countries achieve economic prosperity in the context of compressed development.
This report offers a strategic framework, analytical tools, and policy options to ensure internationalization of production processes also address development challenges. The conceptualization of GVCs makes it easier for policymakers and practitioners to identify the key objectives of GVC participation and select suitable economic strategies to achieve them.
