Download or read book Financial Structures in Sierra Leone written by Emmanuel S. E. Leigh and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sierra Leone exhibits the typical features of a developing country in the African economy with high ratio of foreign trade to gross domestic product (GDP), low level of urbanization and high level of monetization. The financial structure is narrow, with the central bank being the forefront of regulation; the commercial banks and other financial institutions being the key players. After independence the government pursued wide range of planning and development strategies with industrialization at the helm. With a shift in focus to implement rapid rate of economic development, monetary and financial institutions were designed to assume the responsibility of mobilizing domestic resources as capital for development. Therefore, the West African Currency Board (WACB) was found inappropriate in the changed environment and was thus replaced by the Bank of Sierra Leone. The Bank of Sierra Leone (Central Bank) was established to serve as an agency that would build up reputable standards of financial management and integrity. In this instant, the Bank formulated and implemented monetary and supervisory policies to foster sound financial environment. The Bank therefore continues to pursue tight monetary policy position consistent with positive economic growth. The Government has highlighted the importance of the financial sector to realize that long-term goal for 2035, and has designed a Financial Sector Development Plan as a framework for creating a sound and well-functioning financial system to support the Government's overall growth objectives and poverty reduction strategies. The book was written in perspective, to capture the attention of scholars and financial authorities in the country. Facts have been documented and perceptions taken from real life-experiences in some of the institutions mentioned in the text. For those scholars and researchers aiming to gain knowledge of financial structures in Sierra Leone, the book can lead them to major topics which should stimulate further studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Selected Issues paper on Sierra Leone shows that boosting education and its quality for all children yields substantial macroeconomic gains. While investments in the sector will take time to yield results, the potential gains provide ample motivation for sustained, multi-pronged policy interventions along the lines highlighted in the following paragraphs. Equalizing access to education emerges as a critical goal for prosperity that is shared fairly across the population. Attaining free secondary education for all is a critical long-run objective. With limited fiscal space and vast challenges in the sector, evidence-based prioritizing, sequencing and targeting of policies is critical. Careful monitoring of education spending and its impacts will help reassess programs and priorities going forward. Enhancing the governance of the sector to ensure that spending is well-aligned with needs in the various levels is also important. Tackling the education challenge will require coordinated work to overcome hurdles in several sectors. Several factors currently within and beyond the education sector constrain efforts that could effectively reap the economic benefits from education. The results indicate the macroeconomic benefits of education could be substantial, in the order of up to 40 percent of gross domestic product in the long run.

The study sets out to explore Sierra Leone's multifaceted journey, emphasizing the importance of responsible fiscal management and prudent investment policies to secure a brighter future for its citizens. Within this ambitious pursuit of fiscal sustainability, the study sheds light on the multifaceted challenges faced by Sierra Leone in navigating the complex landscape of public investments.

This comprehensive strategy not only optimizes resource allocation but also promotes transparency, efficiency, and accountability in Sierra Leone's financial management. It empowers the government to align public investments with the nation's broader development goals, bolstering economic growth, reducing poverty, and improving essential public services. To construct this narrative, a qualitative research approach was employed. Qualitative data emerged from a comprehensive literature review, policy document analysis, and interviews with key stakehold
