    past decade has been solid, yet, with a gross domestic
    product (GDP) per capita of 1,760, the country remains one
    of the poorest in Europe. The end of the conflict, output
    was growing at double-digit rates, driven by the
    donor-funded reconstruction efforts. Since 2005, annual
    growth has decelerated to below 5 percent. However, the
    other countries in Southeast Europe have been growing

    Within the next two decades Indonesia
    aspires to generate prosperity, avoid a middle-income trap

    well as reduced inequality. Can Indonesia achieve them? This

    Review (SLM PER). The SLM PER was undertaken to achieve six
    main objectives: (i) establish a robust data base on
    SLM-related public expenditure that can support credible
    empirical analysis; (ii) develop a sound methodology for
    conducting SLM PERs, which could guide similar work in the
    future; (iii) analyze the level and composition of SLM

    source of financing capital investments by subnational
    governments in developing countries. Land assets, often with
    billions of dollars per transaction, rival and sometimes

    capital spending. While reducing the uncertainty surrounding
    future debt repayment capacity, the use of land-based
    revenues for financing infrastructure can entail substantial

    Despite strong economic growth,
    investment in basic urban infrastructure -- water supply,
    wastewater removal and treatment, roads, and other
    capital-intensive systems -- has failed to keep pace with
    urban growth, leaving a critical urban infrastructure
    deficit. At the same time, urban lands in these many
    developing countries are among the most expensive in the
    world. Much of this land is owned by public authorities.
