Summary
Manufacturing export-led growth has been regarded as the hallmark of the so-called Asian tigers, namely, South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Since the 1960s, resource-poor countries have outperformed resource-rich countries by a considerable margin (Auty 2001: 840). Fosu (1990)found that developing countries specializing in manufacturing achieved higher economic growth than those specializing in exporting primary goods (minerals). The World Bank (1993) report on the East Asian miracle de facto established manufacturing export-led growth as the standard growth prescription for developing countries. Razmi and Blecker (2008) stated that developing countries have significantly increased both their export orientation and the proportion of their exports in manufactured goods in the past two decades.
