id=\"tldr-story-02\"><\/a> <strong>Will India and Vietnam overtake China as iPhone manufacturing hubs? <\/strong>Leading Apple suppliers, including Foxconn and Pegatron, are shifting their focus to assembly and packaging of Apple products outside of China, as they look to grow resilient amid a fractured global supply chain, according to a Counterpoint Research analysis cited by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2022-12-19\/apple-suppliers-accelerate-buildup-outside-china-counterpoint\">Bloomberg<\/a>. Vietnam alone has attracted 21 Apple suppliers to operate there, the report says, while India has grown smartphone manufacturing by 16% in 2Q 2022. Apple has also made this easier for suppliers by making its product design more modular and transferable, the report noted. At this rate, the Counterpoint analysts expect leading partner Hon Hai Precision Industry to move as much as 30% of its capacity to India, Vietnam and Brazil.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This has been in the making for some time:<\/strong> Employees at Foxconn\u2019s largest iPhone factory in China clashed <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/d58d34cd-ecc3-4cbb-baa4-5cb2214bb660\">last month<\/a> with police during protests over the 200k-worker plant\u2019s handling of a covid outbreak, leading Apple to begin <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/8269afe9-9c8b-4ba2-a7b4-7872efdd871b\">ramping up plans<\/a> to move some of its production out of the country.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"grey-line\">\n<p><strong>Now that the World Cup is over, Qatar has a lot of tourism + real estate infrastructure to<\/strong><strong> put to use:<\/strong> Football fans exited Qatar en masse following yesterday\u2019s final, leaving empty some of the USD 300 bn-worth of real estate and tourism infrastructure investments the country poured into preparations for the sporting event, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2022-12-19\/argentina-wins-world-cup-and-qatar-building-frenzy-reaches-its-day-of-reckoning?srnd=premium-middle-east&leadSource=uverify%20wall\">Bloomberg<\/a> reports, citing industry and investment players. These industries \u2014 whose capacities were built up in excess of their current demand outside of the World Cup \u2014 may end up needing a helping hand from the government until their massive growth is organically absorbed into the country\u2019s economy. \u201cThe capacity that got created for this mega scale event will take time to get absorbed, resulting in an economic slowdown or downturn,\u201d Qatar Ins. Company\u2019s chief investment officer said. Several projects remained unfinished in the lead up to the tournament, and have pushed their opening dates. New hotels would have been able to bring in revenues equivalent to 15% of their construction costs had they opened in the middle of the tournament.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Qatar\u2019s population is expected to fall in 2023, as several people that were working on<\/strong><strong> World Cup-related projects leave the country.<\/strong> A 2020 census revealed that about half of the population was made up of low-wage workers who lived in work camps. Qatar is expecting to receive more tourists in upcoming years, targeting 6mn visitors by 2030, triple the number of visitors in 2019. Hotel occupancy rates stood at below 60% now 14-15k new rooms have been opened, further crowding the market.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/apple\/\">Apple<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/for-your-commute\/\">FOR YOUR COMMUTE<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/manufacturing\/\">Manufacturing<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/qatar\/\">Qatar<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/supply-chain\/\">supply chain<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"580312\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                            \"\r\n            id=\"580312\">\r\n            \r\n            <div class=\"story__body\">\r\n\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2022\/12\/19\/580312\/\">\r\n                    <div class=\"photo photo--above\">\r\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n\r\n                \n<article id=\"post-580312\" class=\"content-area-description single-story post-580312 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized wpautop entry\">\n\n\t\n\t<div class=\"entry-content\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t<p class='web-image'><a href='https:\/\/www.palmhillsdevelopments.com\/en-us\/home'><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ent.news\/2022\/12\/Palm-Hills-The-Crown-web-dec-22.jpg?ssl=1\" alt='enterprise'><\/a><\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"580313\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"580313\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">3<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">ENTERPRISE RECOMMENDS<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2022\/12\/19\/how-star-wars-created-its-visual-effects-and-opened-the-door-for-more-cinematic-magic\/\">\r\n                            How Star Wars created its visual effects \u2014 and opened the door for more cinematic magic                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2022\/12\/19\/how-star-wars-created-its-visual-effects-and-opened-the-door-for-more-cinematic-magic\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();

The report takes a new approach at looking at development than similar past studies, dividing the world into over 40k micro regions, a view 230 times more detailed rather than looking at human development through country averages.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Disparities can be obscured by national averages: <\/strong>The wealthiest regions in developing nations frequently more greatly resemble cities in developed economies than their neighboring regions, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/24dbcc0f-7974-48d7-9824-ab86b58a3a29\">The Financial Times<\/a> reports. Porto, the second largest city in Portugal and Mapusa, a small town in the Indian state of Goa had virtually the same GDP per capita in 2019 at USD 33k but at the country level, they are worlds apart. India\u2019s GDP per capita was USD 6.7k in 2019, more than five times less than Portugal\u2019s which stood at USD 34.9k, according to the report. Similarly, the average life expectancy for residents of both Manchester, England and Lima, Peru is 78.5 years. At the national level however, British people lived 6.8 years longer on average than Peruvians did.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And there\u2019s growth concentration in specific clusters:<\/strong> While cities have traditionally played a disproportionately greater role in propelling economic growth, the figures in the report emphasize the extent to which growth was concentrated in certain cities, including Shenzhen and Guangzhou in China, Delhi and Bangalore in India, and Los Angeles and Dallas in the US. The regions that accounted for half of global growth in 2019 were home to about 2 bn people, or 27% of the world\u2019s population. Over 2 bn people lived in blue zones \u2014 microregions that had an average income of more than USD 8.3k and a life expectancy of more than 72.5 years over the first 20 years of the 21st century.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Globally, the number of people living in those microregions rose from 1.3 bn in 2000 to 3.5 bn in 2019<\/strong>, with regions that newly made the shift accounting for the majority of that expansion. Between 2000 and 2019, nearly 1.1 bn people in China and about 1 bn people in 75 other nations, including Egypt, Brazil and India, attained the high standard of living associated with the blue zone criteria.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Across the Middle East and North Africa, a total of 290 mn people resided in 1700 blue zones in 2019, up from 55 mn people living in 100 such microregions in 2000.<\/strong> The two countries with the most significant shift to blue zones were Turkey and Iran: With microregions with populations of 62 mn in Turkey and 53 mn people in Iran turning blue by 2019. Other regions that made the shift include microregions in Egypt\u2019s mostly rural El Beheira governorate area and parts of Casablanca in Morocco. The United Nations and several international organizations have supported a number of projects in El Beheira over the past two decades, which has helped boost agricultural output, build up societal infrastructure, improve water supplies and enhance the region's key location along important land and river transit routes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cities all over the US continue to be the main contributors to the US\u2019 economic growth<\/strong>, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/milkeninstitute.org\/report\/best-performing-cities-2022\">Milken Institute report<\/a>. They remain the main areas where companies create new jobs and employees receive better salaries, maintaining the nation\u2019s competitiveness in the global economy. A recent trend the report has noted for the second consecutive year is that the country's prominent high-tech hubs are no longer the only areas that create high-paying jobs, indicating that this kind of economic success is extending from the larger coastal cities inwards throughout the country. On the other hand several tech-hubs have witnessed a resurgence including San Jose, Durham, and Chapel Hill, demonstrating the industry\u2019s resilience in the face of the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The inequality between different regions within one country has grown over the past 20 years. <\/strong>The most productive areas of a country, which are typically large cities, are now on average twice as productive as the least productive areas, the FT reports, citing data from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!--
