The story of Hyderabad, the capital of
the Indian state Andhra Pradesh, is truly inspiring for
late-comers to development. Within two decades, Andhra
Pradesh has been catapulted straight from a poor and largely
agricultural economy into a major service center. It has
transformed itself from a lagging into a leading region.
Fuelled by an increase in service exports of 45 times
between 1998 and 2008, the number of information technology
companies in Hyderabad increased eight times, and employment
increased 20 times. Service-led growth has mushroomed in
other parts of India and South Asia as well. Indeed, growth
in the services sector has enabled South Asia to grow almost
as fast as East Asia in this century, with growth of just
under seven percent annually between 2000 and 2007. Growth
rates in South Asia and East Asia have converged. The two
fastest growing regions in the world, however, have very
different growth patterns. While East Asia is a story of
growth led by manufacturing, South Asia has thrived on
service-led growth. The promise of the services revolution
is that countries do not need to wait to get started with
rapid development. There is a new boat that development
late-comers can take. The globalization of service exports
provides alternative opportunities for developing countries
to find niches, beyond manufacturing, where they can
specialize, scale up and achieve explosive growth, just like
the industrializes. The core of the argument is that as the
number of goods and services produced and traded across the
world expand with globalization, the possibilities for all
countries to develop based on their comparative advantage
expand. That comparative advantage can just as easily be in
services as in manufacturing or indeed agriculture. |
