The main purpose of this study is to answer the question of how innovative Belarusian economy is. Its innovativeness has been assessed through an in-depth analysis of Belarus’ position in international trade, especially in high- and medium-high-technology goods, on the back of the assumption that any competitive advantages possessed in them testify to the economy’s high innovativeness. The analysis of the dynamics of long-term revealed comparative advantages in Belarusian foreign trade by using Balassa’s RCA methodology and covering the years 2000-2014, has shown that the country was generally characterized by low innovativeness, as evidenced by the possession of such advantages only in trade in goods of relatively low technological intensity (medium-low technology). Meanwhile, in hi-tech goods (high and medium-high technology), Belarus did not have any (or only had relatively small) long-term revealed comparative advantages. Moreover, Belarus’ competitiveness in international trade deteriorated over that period, not only regarding high and medium-high technology goods but also in foreign trade overall. This seems to be, amongst others, the consequence of low efficiency of the country’s current innovation policy.

Antecedentes: La participación del carbón colombiano en el mercado internacional ha dependido y dependerá fundamentalmente de competir con precios con otros posibles proveedores internacionales, si no se cambia la estrategia a competir. Por ello uno de los factores más importantes a tener en cuenta tiene que ver con los costos de la operación logística, para el caso de Norte de Santander. Objetivo: El objetivo principal de este proyecto es realizar el diagnóstico de la operación logística del carbón en Norte de Santander. Metodología: Básicamente la metodología utilizada fue la aplicación de encuestas a los principales expertos y empresarios exportadores de Carbón en Norte de Santander. Resultados: Uno de los aspectos más relevantes que mitigan la posibilidad de capturar valor en el comercio exterior, son sus altos costos en la operación logística. El problema identificado se da en la ausencia de estudios que permitan caracterizar la distribución física internacional del sector del carbón en Norte de Santander, en losMunicipios más representativos para su extracción. Conclusiones: Finalmente el proceso de internacionalización de la economía obliga a los sectores productivos, a pasar de las ventajas comparativas, a ventajas competitivas. Estas últimas son necesarias para aprovechar los mercados internacionales, sin embargo, sectores estratégicos por su potencial en reservas y características de su producto, como el sector del carbón en Norte de Santander, aún no consolidan elementos para su aprovechamiento.Abstract Background: The participation of Colombian coal in the international market has depended and will depend primarily on price to compete with other potential international suppliers, if the strategy is not changed to compete.

The article considers the factors causing the formation of credit limits. There has been carried out a review of methodological approaches to analysis of credit limits described in domestic economic literature, as well as applied in practice. The advantages and disadvantages of existing methods of determining credit limits have been revealed. It has been pointed out that nowadays in the theory and practice of banking there is no generally accepted method for setting limits. On the basis of the financial model, the nature of the working capital needs of customers and its impact on the need for lending were investigated. The ratios of net working capital and own working capital are considered depending on the nature of the need, financial cycle, business profitability and conditions of settlements with counterparties. A calculation of the working capital need based on the index method is proposed. The methods for calculating the limit of working capital with temporary and permanent working capital need are substantiated. There have been made calculations of the working capital need for options characterized by increasing volumes in production and sales and by changing the terms of settlements with counterparties. The relationship between the revenue growth and the required net working capital is shown. The dynamics of own working capital growth is analyzed. Using the results, the calculation of the limit for revolving financing has been made including a one-time loan for replenishing working capital and a revolving credit line with a debt limit due to the constant need for materials procurement. In the course of analysis there were used general scientific methods and techniques: systemic and logical analysis and synthesis, comparison, building a system of indicators based on vertical and horizontal relationships between them, studying the relationship between effective (generalizing) indicators and quotients, forecasting and extrapolation, the principles of induction and deduction.
