Book Synopsis Africa and the Global Financial Crisis by : Reuben Adeolu Alabi
Download or read book Africa and the Global Financial Crisis written by Reuben Adeolu Alabi and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2011 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume of the African Development Perspectives Yearbook series, the Research Group on African Development Perspectives investigates the impact of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) on economic reform processes in Africa. The analysis is structured in such a way so as to reflect the opportunities and dangers of policy reversals in the face of the GFC. The impact of the crisis on different types and forms of governance in the region is considered. The first question is therefore which macro-economic policy instruments have to be applied in order to overcome the crisis and to continue with sustainable development. The second question is how the GFC has affected Africa's external economic relations and if the path of opening up to the world markets is to be continued. The third question raised is how the crisis has affected social cohesion, impacted poverty alleviation strategies and the achievement of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). All these questions are discussed in the various contributions which comprise general studies and country case studies. The book also looks into the role of international financial institutions during and after the crisis. (Series: African Development Perspectives Yearbook - Vol. 15)
Book Synopsis The Global Financial and Economic Crisis in the South by : Leon-Manriquez, Jose Luis
Download or read book The Global Financial and Economic Crisis in the South written by Leon-Manriquez, Jose Luis and published by CODESRIA. This book was released on 2017-05-03 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the outcome of a South-South conference jointly organized by the Asian Political and International Studies Association (APISA), the Latin American Council of Social Sciences (CLACSO) and the Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa (CODESRIA) in Dakar, Senegal, May 2012. The conference was organised in response to the financial crisis of 2008 which started in the United States and Europe, with reverberating effects on a global scale. Economic problems emanating from such crises usually leave major social and structural impacts on important sectors of the society internationally. They affect living standards and constrain the well-being of people, especially in poor countries. Persistent problems include high unemployment, increased debt and low growth in developed countries, as well as greater difficulties in accessing finance for investment in the developing world. There is a need for countries in the South to examine the available options for appropriate national and regional responses to the different problems emanating from the economic crisis. This book attempts to provide ideas on some strategic responses to the disastrous impact of the crisis, while keeping in mind the global common interest of the South. It is hoped that the book will contribute significantly towards the agenda to rethink development and the quest for alternative paradigms for a just, stable and equitable global political, economic and social system. A system in which Africa, Asia, and Latin America are emancipated from the shackles of hegemonic and anachronistic neoliberal dictates that have nothing more to offer than crises, vulnerabilities and dependency.

Book Synopsis The Global Financial Crisis and Workers' Remittances to Africa by : Mr.Ralph Chami
Download or read book The Global Financial Crisis and Workers' Remittances to Africa written by Mr.Ralph Chami and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using data on the distribution of migrants from Africa, GDP growth forecasts for host countries, and after estimating remittance multipliers in recipient countries, this paper estimates the impact of the global economic crisis on African GDP via the remittance channel during 2009-2010. It forecasts remittance declines into African countries of between 3 and 14 percentage points, with migrants to Europe hardest hit while migrants within Africa relatively unaffected by the crisis. The estimated impact on GDP for relatively remittance-dependent countries is 2 percent for 2009, but will likely be short-lived, as host country income is projected to rise in 2010.

Edited by Paolo Savona, John J.

Book Synopsis Mitigating the impacts of the financial and economic crisis in Africa by : A. B. Kamara
Download or read book Mitigating the impacts of the financial and economic crisis in Africa written by A. B. Kamara and published by Editions L'Harmattan. This book was released on 2009-11-01 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global economic crisis revealed a high fragility of growth in African economies, especially among those that are heavily dependent on commodity export. The fragility and lack of depth in African financial markets has also exposed them to adverse effects of volatility of foreign capital outflows. This calls for an urgent need to design strategies to exploit the full potential of domestic resource mobilization and pooling of resources, as well as a rebalancing of exportled growth strategies.

Book Synopsis The Global Financial Crisis and Development by : Augustin Kwasi Fosu

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global economic crisis beginning in 2008 has come at a very inopportune time for Africa. Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) appeared to be on a march toward real economic and human progress, following the dismal performance of the 1980s and early 1990s. Economic growth had resurged since the mid-1990s, and was above the world average at the beginning of the early twenty-first century. Poverty had also declined considerably from their heights of the mid-1990s, rivaling the record over the same period for South East Asia and India, for instance. Meanwhile, human development had also resurged since the mid-1990s. Then the crisis hit. In response, growth fell by more than two-thirds. There appears to be some recovery, however, and the growth decline has so far been less than in previous economic crises, even though the global recession precipitated by the current crisis is the deepest since the Great Depression of the 1930s. SSA's apparent resilience this time around might be attributable to the improvement in its economic and political governance. Although the full economic and social impacts of the crisis are yet to be realized, with some uncertainty still in the global economic picture itself, the current evidence provides some hope that SSA may once again resume its path toward prosperity. Meanwhile, there is much variation across countries in their vulnerability to the crisis. Even though low-income and "fragile" countries appear to be holding up reasonably well, they may still require external assistance if they are to successfully weather the crisis. -- global financial crisis ; development ; Africa
Book Synopsis Impact of the Global Financial Crisis on Exchange Rates and Policies in Sub-Saharan Africa by : Stella Kaendera
Download or read book Impact of the Global Financial Crisis on Exchange Rates and Policies in Sub-Saharan Africa written by Stella Kaendera and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2009-12-15 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper studies the evolution of the exchange rates of sub-Saharan African currencies in the context of the global financial crisis. In particular, it analyzes the reasons behind the differences in the magnitude and volatility of the exchange rates among countries. To this end, it takes a sample of seven countries, four members of the East African Community (EAC) (Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda), and three others, which experienced large exchange rate losses at the onset of the crisis: Ghana, Nigeria, and Zambia. First, it analyzes the movements of the exchange rates with respect to the U.S. dollar and two other major currencies. Second, it tries to link the magnitude of their movements to key factors, relating to the external environment and the countries’ internal policies.
Book Synopsis Recession and Recovery by : Paul Alagidede
Download or read book Recession and Recovery written by Paul Alagidede and published by Nova Novinka. This book was released on 2011 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past two decades alone have witnessed four major shocks to the global financial system: the collapse of the European exchange rate mechanism in 1992-1993, the peso crisis in 1994-1995 and the Asian turmoil in 1997-1998. The last, and most current, is the sub-prime bubble, which started in the summer of 2007 in the United States, intensified in 2008 and 2009, and has since changed the face of global finance and economics. This book examines the aspects of the financial crisis which have had the most prominent impacts on African countries.

This book was released on 2020-06-23 with total page 1099 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook constitutes a specialist single compendium that analyses African political economy in its theoretical, historical and policy dimensions.

Chapters in the book discuss how domestic and international political economic forces have shaped and continue to shape development outcomes on the continent. Contributors also provoke new thinking on theories and policies to better position the continent’s economy to be a critical global force. The uniqueness of the handbook lies in linking theory and praxis with the past, future, and various dimensions of the political economy of Africa.

This book was released on 2019-02-13 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book illuminates the answers to various major questions on African development related to international trade and finance. It explores the economic interaction between Africa and the now-developed countries (the West) in the past and China today, as well as the legacy of these interactions for Africa’s growth and poverty reduction effort today. In addition, it discusses the implication of this legacy for Africa’s future development, and considers whether lessons can be drawn from this experience in terms of the continent’s future development? By providing in-depth historical and economic analysis conducted in non-technical terms, the book represents a valuable resource for policy makers, researchers, and students, as well as international organizations that focus on African development.
Book Synopsis The Global Economic Crisis: Impact on Sub-Saharan Africa and Global Policy Responses by :
Download or read book The Global Economic Crisis: Impact on Sub-Saharan Africa and Global Policy Responses written by and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sub-Saharan Africa has been strongly affected by the global recession, despite initial optimism that the global financial system would have few spillover effects on the continent. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) estimated in 2009 that average economic growth in Africa would slow to 1%, from an annual average of over 6% to 1% over the previous five years, before rebounding to 4% in 2010. As a region, Africa is not thought to have undergone a recession in 2009. However, most African countries are thought to require high rates of economic growth in order to outpace population growth and make progress in alleviating poverty. The mechanisms through which the crisis has affected Africa include a contraction in global trade and a related collapse in primary commodity exports, on which many countries are dependent. Foreign investment and migrant worker remittances are also expected to decrease significantly, and some analysts predict cuts in foreign aid in the medium term if the crisis persists. Africa's most powerful economies have proven particularly vulnerable to the downturn: South Africa has experienced a recession for the first time in nearly two decades, and Nigeria and Angola have reported revenue shortfalls due to the fall in global oil prices. Several countries seen as having solid macroeconomic governance, notably Botswana, have sought international financial assistance to cope with the impact of the crisis. At the same time, a number of low-income African countries are projected to experience relatively robust growth in 2009 and 2010, leading some economists to talk of Africa's underlying economic resilience. The 111th Congress has monitored the impact of the global economic crisis worldwide. The Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2009 (P.L. 111-32), provided $255.6 million for assistance to vulnerable populations in developing countries affected by the crisis.
