{"product_id":"outage-ani-balabanyan-9780821387382","title":"Outage: Investment Shortfalls in the Power Sector in Eastern Europe and Central Asia","description":"This study analyzes the impacts of the financial crisis on power sectors in five countries in the region: Armenia, Kyrgyz Republic, Romania, Serbia and Ukraine. Before the financial crisis, these countries faced expected power shortages as a result of large investment gaps. With the financial crisis, GDP dropped, leading to a drop in demand for electricity. The drop in demand created a window of opportunity for meeting investment needs, but the crisis has limited the sources of financing available to the sector. In the post-crisis period, the study concludes that policymakers need to prioritize public spending and create a legal and regulatory environment more conducive to private investment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ani Balabanyan,Edon Vrenezi,Lauren Pierce\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0821387383\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780821387382\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e World Bank Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/30\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.26d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2011 pg. 88","brand":"Ani Balabanyan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48013813973247,"sku":"9780821387382","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_802579fb-d781-4a0e-85f0-c02303ec9daa.jpg?v=1767744934","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/outage-ani-balabanyan-9780821387382","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
