Episode 17 Engineering an Economic Miracle: A Roadmap for Ukraine's Recovery
from Accelerating Development: Ideas for Impact · host World Bank Institute for Economic Development
Ukraine's recovery requires more than rebuilding bridges; it demands a restart of the economic engine itself. This episode explores how Ukraine can replicate West Germany's post-war "Wirtschaftswunder" (economic miracle) to break out of a low-dynamism trap. We diagnose why top firms control over 50% of sales without innovating and how "power without performance" is stifling growth. Discover why simply subsidizing startups isn't enough and why disciplining entrenched incumbents is the critical first step to unleashing a competitive, high-growth future. Generated with AI using wondercraft.ai and guided by our experts. Read the full report here at https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/entities/publication/8a6ceaee-1491-41b1-8955-6cf41a473856
