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 book provides readers with wonderful and fascinating historical facts that have never been assembled into a single text. The book was written in perspective, to capture the attention of scholars and prospective investors. Facts have been corroborated and perceptions taken from real life-experiences in some of the institutions mentioned in the text. For those scholars aiming to gain knowledge of the financial system in Sierra Leone, the book leads them to major topics that should stimulate further studies. Indeed, readers will be left with the wish of researching more. Some of the topics might appear short lived, especially with the fast evolving financial situation. Considering the structure, the book sets for scholars, an ad-hoc platform for discussion that could give rise to significant political and economic analysis. A brief synopsis of the book follows. The Bank of Sierra Leone was established to serve as an agency that would build up a reputation for the highest standards of management and integrity. In this instance, it aims at formulating and implementing monetary and supervisory policies to foster a sound financial environment. The business of commercial banking has evolved rapidly in recent years, as banks have confronted volatile economic conditions and revised regulations. New methods and the evolution of new banks may have some influence on how these activities are expedited but the business of banking is unchanged. The facts on other financial institutions are directed to the integration of the unorganized with the organized sector. It was possible to integrate the two sectors in banking institutions specializing in the requirements of the rural areas. Such institutions combine the provision of credits with marketing and provide ancillary services so as to ensure that credits made available, increase the productive capacity of the recipients. Government financial management in Sierra Leone provides collective goods and services that correspond to the performance of its traditional functions and at the same time promote growth and development, stability, equitable distribution of income and wealth. Its objectives are often interwoven with other economic sectors in the country. These are subject to further studies and interpretation. They become meaningful only when specific contents are translated into policies. Though the repercussions of the decade long rebel war on the financial structure have not been specifically mentioned in the book, the toll was devastating. However, the government has established a unique track record for a post-conflict country.

Book excerpt: The government of Sierra Leone is requesting a successor three-year Extended Credit Facility (ECF) arrangement to support their program to raise economic growth by increasing investment in infrastructure and developing an accessible financial sector. Fiscal policy in 2010 focuses on improving revenue collection to support capital spending while containing pressures on current expenditures. The global economic downturn slowed economic activity in 2009, but achieving single digit inflation remains a challenge. Fiscal policy performance during 2009 was broadly satisfactory. Monetary policy was expansionary toward the end of 2009.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sierra Leone has shown remarkable resilience in overcoming the twin shocks of the iron ore export collapse and the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) epidemic. However, significant medium-term challenges remain amidst persistent economic fragilities. There is a severe infrastructure gap with deficiencies in transportation, housing for the poor, sanitation and health facilities, as well as food security and energy supply. Despite these problems, the economy holds tremendous potential. Sierra Leone boasts one of the largest natural ports in the region, it receives abundant rainfall with a fertile soil and a sea front with promise in agriculture, fishing and tourism. Meanwhile, the mineral sector can be a basis for higher value added processing. But weaknesses, especially on fiscal policy and in the financial sector, remain impediments for unlocking this potential. The key structural macroeconomic problem is low fiscal revenues—despite significant efforts to enhance revenues in recent years. Since late 2016, high inflation and falling foreign exchange reserves have emerged as new macroeconomic challenges. Both are a direct result of a spending surge in late 2016.

Download or read book Sierra Leone Private Investment and Financial Sector Development written by Dr Ezekiel K. Duramany-Lakkoh and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2020-12-07 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a detailed overview and analysis of key macroeconomics variables in Sierra Leone from 1980 to 2015. Like Sierra Leone and Ghana, many nations depend primarily on taxation as a means of galvanizing the required resources needed to meet public expenditure requirements. As a result, it is critical to study how fiscal variables change and how private investment can improve life for everyone. Dr. Ezekiel K. Duramany-Lakkoh, dean of the faculty at University of Sierra Leone, explores Sierra Leone’s fiscal policy and how it’s changed over time in this academic work. Topics include: • economic growth beginning in 2010; • social and economic reform programs; • monetary policy and its effect on inflation; • external and domestic debt management. The author also highlights how government spending has influenced private investment at home and abroad—as well as how a re-established political order has contributed to impressive growth. Whether you do business in Sierra Leone, want to do business there, have a connection to the country, or are a citizen or native, you’ll find valuable insights in this book.

This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sierra Leone's devastating 11-year civil war destroyed much of its infrastructure, and left its economy in tatters. In 2004, two years after the end of the war, Sierra Leone asked the investment climate (IC) advisory services of the World Bank Group to help create a better business and investment climate that will lay a foundation for the country's future economic growth. Answering the call, the World Bank Group's IC advisory services partnered with the United Kingdom's (UK's) Department for International Development (DFID) to design a program to help Sierra Leone improve its business climate, encourage job creation, and spur investment. The result of this partnership was the removing administrative barriers to investment (RABI) program, which ran from 2004 to 2010. RABI pioneered a collaborative approach by working closely with the government, local institutions, and the private sector to implement a comprehensive, integrated agenda that focused on reforms in the following four areas: reducing barriers to businesses operating in the formal sector by simplifying new business registration.; streamlining tax administration, reforming tax policy, and supporting the national revenue authority to simplify taxes; creating a platform for effective and constructive dialogue between the government and the private sector in focal areas such as financial sector reform, access to land, and overall improvements in the investment climate, and supporting reform in those areas; and building and developing an effective investment and trade facilitation structure and promoting Sierra Leone as a vibrant and desirable location for business, especially in the tourism and agribusiness sectors. The RABI program was innovative and responsive, conducting rapid diagnostics, proposing integrated solutions, and moving quickly into implementation with support staff on the ground. The program was also one of the first of its kind to operate in a conflict-affected country, which demand specialized and targeted support solutions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper discusses Sierra Leone’s Sixth Review Under the Extended Credit Facility (ECF) Arrangement, Financing Assurances Review, and Request for Waiver for Nonobservance of Performance Criteria. Growth is expected to reach 6.5 percent in the medium term. However, risks to the outlook are firmly to the downside. Revenues are too low to finance key infrastructure projects. Iron ore production has become moderately profitable, but there is downside risk to iron ore prices. The IMF staff supports the authorities’ request for completion of the sixth (last) review of the ECF arrangement, as well as the request for a waiver for nonobservance of the continuous performance criteria on nonintroduction of multiple currency practices.
