Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Assessing both the macro- and micro-economic levels of the contemporary African Debt Crisis, this book, first published in 1989, begins by looking at the origins of the world debt crisis, and then looks closely at the problem as it affects Sub-Saharan Africa. The effects of debt on Africa’s position in international relations are considered, and the roles played by organisations such as the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank are assessed. The authors also examine the local effects in a series of case studies of various states including Nigeria, Ghana and Sierra Leone, the Francophone States and Zaire.

Book excerpt: Mounting external debt and large-scale capital flight have been at the forefront of Africa's economic problems since the 1980s. External Debt and Capital Flight in Sub-Saharan Africa, edited by S. Ibi Ajayi and Mohsin S. Khan, takes a penetrating look at debt and capital flight during the 1990s in Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Tanzania, and Uganda. The book describes the size and composition of debt in the selected countries and examines the causes of the debt buildup. It also assesses the extent of capital flight and suggests ways of stemming the flight of financial resources.

This book was released on 1997-06-01 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The general objective of this study is to analyze the external debt and debt burdens of the severely indebted sub-Saharan African countries, estimate the magnitude of capital flight from them, and relate the estimate of capital flight to some macroeconomic aggregates. The study also contains policy implications of international efforts to deal with the high levels of external debt in sub-Saharan Africa in conditions of extreme poverty, and stagnant and declining exports. It questions the theoretical foundation in which the external debt strategy has been based and offers solutions to the external debt problem.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The COVID-19 pandemic has taken a toll on human life and brought major disruption to economic activity across the world. Despite a late arrival, the COVID-19 virus has spread rapidly across Sub-Saharan Africa in recent weeks. Economic growth in Sub-Saharan Africa is projected to decline from 2.4 percent in 2019 to -2.1 to -5.1 percent in 2020, the first recession in the region in 25 years. The coronavirus is hitting the region’s three largest economies —Nigeria, South Africa, and Angola— in a context of persistently weak growth and investment. In particular, countries that depend on oil and mining exports would be hit the hardest. The negative impact of the COVID-19 crisis on household welfare would be equally dramatic. African policymakers need to develop a two-pronged strategy of “saving lives and protecting livelihoods.†? This strategy includes relief measures and recovery measures aimed at strengthening health systems, providing income support to workers and liquidity support to viable businesses. However, financing of these policies will be challenging amid deteriorating fiscal positions and heightened public debt vulnerabilities. Therefore, African countries will require financial assistance from their development partners -including COVID-19 related multilateral assistance and a debt service stand still with creditors.

Book excerpt: Entwicklungsökonomen nehmen im Allgemeinen an, dass Entwicklungsländer in den ersten Stufen ihrer Entwicklung oft mit beschränkten eigenen Ressourcen konfrontiert sind, und daher von den entwickelten Ländern Kredite nehmen um ihre Wachstumsrate und Entwicklung zu steigern. Diese Finanzierungslücke hat Entwicklungsländer, insbesondere in Afrika südlich der Sahara, dazu gezwungen, hohe externe Schulden anzuhäufen, die sie nicht länger bedienen konnten. Weiters gibt es eine wachsende Sorge, dass die großen externen Schuldenrückzahlungen das ökonomische Wachstum und die Investitionen in den schwer verschuldeten Ländern behindern. Diese Dissertation untersucht daher den Einfluss externer Schulden auf das ökonomische Wachstum und die Investitionen in Afrika südlich der Sahara (ECOWAS) im Zeitraum 1980-1999. Im Gegensatz zu traditionellen Schulden- und Wachstumsstudien, die die räumliche Dimension nicht berücksichtigen, verwendet diese Studie räumliche autoregressive Wachstums- und Investitionsmodelle um den Effekt räumlicher Interaktion und räumlicher Abhängigkeit zwischen den Ländern während des Zeitraums der Krise zu untersuchen. Auf den oben genannten Annahmen aufbauend verwenden die Modelle externe Schuldenrückzahlungsraten und Gesamtschuldenraten, welche aus Datenbanken der Weltbank und der afrikanischen Entwicklungsbank extrahiert wurden, als Schlüssel- und Kontrollvariablen (zusammen mit anderen erklärenden Variablen). Die Schätzung beider Modelle führt zu gemischten Resultaten im Zeitablauf. Die Resultate deuten auf die Anwesenheit sowohl positiver, als auch negativer räumlicher Abhängigkeit in den ECOWAS-Ländern im Zeitablauf hin. Während die externe Schuldenrückzahlungsrate in den meisten Untersuchungsperioden in negativem Zusammenhang mit dem ökonomischen Wachstum steht, beeinflusst die Gesamtschuldenrate das ökonomische Wachstum in weniger Perioden als erwartet. In Hinblick auf öffentliche Investitionen hat die externe Schuldenrückzahlungsrate keinen Einfluss.
Download or read book Global Waves of Debt written by M. Ayhan Kose and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2021-03-03 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global economy has experienced four waves of rapid debt accumulation over the past 50 years. The first three debt waves ended with financial crises in many emerging market and developing economies. During the current wave, which started in 2010, the increase in debt in these economies has already been larger, faster, and broader-based than in the previous three waves. Current low interest rates mitigate some of the risks associated with high debt. However, emerging market and developing economies are also confronted by weak growth prospects, mounting vulnerabilities, and elevated global risks. A menu of policy options is available to reduce the likelihood that the current debt wave will end in crisis and, if crises do take place, will alleviate their impact.
