Greater geoeconomic fragmentation reduces the opportunities for firms to benefit from global value chains, which risks stifling industrialization and growth in economies stuck in low-value roles.
To bridge the gap, support for less-developed economies is crucial to help them take advantage of emerging technologies, and to strengthen infrastructure, logistics, and the business environment to enhance productivity and competitiveness.
