These problems and crises demand urgent attention with anticipatory capacity building.

As global oil demand increases, there is not enough capacity to meet it a cycle that will continue until demand collapses.

It should continue technical assistance and capacity building on a demand driven basis, equitably distributed among regions and tailored to specific needs.

UNCTAD should continue to deliver high quality technical assistance and capacity building activities to developing countries, including advice on institutional reforms on a demand driven basis.

The only way to meet growing demand was to use OPEC s spare capacity and commercial inventories.

They are in increasingly high demand, and we hope to expand our capacity to offer them.

The dramatic improvement in demand in 2002 2004 did of course provide an incentive to add capacity, particularly in countries where continued strong demand growth was foreseen.

Third, UNCTAD should continue its role in capacity building in developing countries through demand driven technical cooperation.

This did not work very well, because investment was constrained by deficient domestic aggregate demand relative to capacity.

First, in a situation of widespread unemployment and excess capacity, short run output is determined primarily by demand, not supply.

Iran s energy demand will exceed its supply, possibly reducing or even eliminating its oil export capacity in the near future.

Such efforts have bolstered global demand for commodities, while diversifying African economies and enhancing the productive capacity of domestic suppliers.

Local and regional supply scarcities will continue to put pressure on some areas of natural forest but, on a broad scale, the world's forests have the capacity to meet this increase in demand.

It will stop because of the growing demand of us on all the resources, all the capacity, all the systems of the Earth, which is now having economic damage.

To be sure, developing countries differed often markedly in their capacity for fiscal stimulus to counter the loss of external demand.

Instead, the main threat to the long term sustainability of energy supplies is the mismatch between investment in additional capacity and energy infrastructure, on one hand, and growth in demand for energy on the other.

Economic scarcity, meanwhile, is caused by a lack of investment in water or insufficient human capacity to satisfy the demand for water.

New capacity is mainly planned in developing countries and countries in transition with relatively low production costs and rapidly growing domestic demand.

On both accounts, aggregate demand will decline.

Silicon Valley itself was built on demand.

Thus, there is a global slackening of aggregate demand relative to the glut of supply capacity, which will impede a robust global economic recovery.

Once spare capacity vanished and commercial inventories declined to critical levels relative to estimated future demand, oil prices started to break record after record.

However, while the capacity forecast is more likely to be below the mark than above it, the reverse is true for the demand forecasts.

That will contribute to the development of a database of evidence on effective ways to prevent armed violence, and will eventually enhance the capacity to develop strategies to reduce the demand for small arms.

Global demand for fish consumption is growing, and so, too, is the global capacity to catch fish, driving some species to the point of extinction.

Even in a situation with relatively slow demand growth and weak prices, new capacity may still be added successfully if production costs are low enough.

The jury did not agree on this demand.

(a) model projects based on demand and needs

Since then, Europe and America have grown well below their capacity (despite huge unmet demand throughout the world) and unemployment has climbed to around 10 on both continents (with youth unemployment reaching an alarming 20 ).

Advice on capacity building needs

(a) Electricity savings mitigate the need for expensive and potentially polluting new power generating capacity, which would otherwise be needed to meet rapidly increasing power demand

It moves economic growth away from a dangerous over reliance on external demand, while shifting support to untapped internal demand.

Capacity building support capacity building on gender mainstreaming based on lessons learned from applied research and knowledge management.

Its success depends on market demand, not political lobbying.

Long term growth depends not on foreign demand, but on domestic supply.

The impact on growth will almost certainly be negative, even if domestic demand compensates fully for the decline in external demand.

So stimulus policies should aim to stimulate not just demand per se they must focus, instead, on stimulating ecologically friendly demand.

First, it depends heavily on rapid growth in foreign demand.

(c) Regional cooperation promoted and strengthened on demand reduction activities

Noting also the conclusion of the Executive Director in the addendum on drug demand reduction to his third biennial report on the world drug problem that countries need to improve their information base and evaluation capacity in order to develop better, more sound interventions,

But, given increasing capacity utilization in the export industries, as well as higher investment requirements owing to the normal capital replacement cycle, domestic investment demand is now also rising.

World demand forecasts for 2005 and 2006 point to annual growth rates of 4 to 5 per cent, which would be just enough to accommodate the planned capacity additions.

This, in turn, is likely to increase the demand for the services of the organizations of the United Nations system, in particular for national capacity building in development management.

If nominal and real depreciation (appreciation) of the deficit (surplus) countries fails to occur, the deficit countries falling domestic demand and the surplus countries failure to reduce savings and increase consumption will lead to a global shortfall in aggregate demand in the face of a capacity glut.
