16 So what s the problem? Complaining about success?

17 Dutch Disease the apparent relationship between the increase in the economic development of natural resources and a decline in the manufacturing sector, agriculture, or tourism. The mechanism is that an increase in revenues from natural resources (or inflows of foreign aid) will make a given nation's currency stronger compared to that of other nations (manifest in an exchange rate), resulting in the nation's other exports becoming more expensive for other countries to buy, and imports becoming cheaper, making the manufacturing sector less competitive. While it most often refers to natural resource discovery, it can also refer to "any development that results in a large inflow of foreign currency, including a sharp surge in natural resource prices, foreign assistance, and foreign direct investment". 1 Ebrahim-zadeh, Christine (March 2003). "Back to Basics Dutch Disease: Too much wealth managed unwisely". Finance and Development, A quarterly magazine of the IMF 40 (1). IMF.

18 Is Dutch Disease applicable to a State or Region?

19 Where do we go from here? Can we move in the same but different direction?

22 Economic Impact of Manufacturing in Ohio --Manufacturing share of output: 17.1% --Manufacturing output 2012: $87.2 billion (5th highest) Unemployment rate: 7.2% Ohio is a major manufacturer of a range of products. In 2011, it was one of the largest manufacturers of both primary and fabricated metals products, which together accounted for about 3% of the state's output that year. The state was also the nation's leader in producing plastics and rubber products, which accounted for more than $5.3 billion in output in 2011, or 1.1% of Ohio's total output. Likely contributing to Ohio's high output of manufactured rubber products, the state is home to Goodyear Tire & Rubber, a Fortune 500 company. At the end of 2012, Ohio was one of the top states for manufacturing employment, with roughly 658,000 jobs, trailing only far-larger California and Texas.

23 "By 2025, the manufacturing sector alone could save $11.5 billion in energy costs," Robert McCutcheon, an economist with consulting group PwC, said at a manufacturing summit hosted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland. McCutcheon's company, formerly called PriceWaterhouseCoopers, released a study late last year predicting that as many as 1 million new U.S. manufacturing jobs could come from lower-cost energy. _man.html

24 We re Not Alone - One of the major impediments to the manufacturing industry in Guyana is the lack of cheap energy, which is a real challenge that will soon be overcome, President Donald Ramotar pledged on Saturday evening.

25 "We are entering a new era," says economist Jerry Jasinowski, a former president of the National Association of Manufacturers, a trade group. He and other optimists are cheered by the increase in industrial production, which has grown at a 5 percent annualized rate since the Great Recession ended. That's more than twice as fast as the economy as a whole.
