Sommario/riassunto

"Contemporary Issues in Development Finance provides a comprehensive and up to date coverage of theoretical and policy issues in development finance from both the domestic and external finance perspectives, placing emphasis on addressing the gaps in financial markets. The chapters cover topical issues including microfinance, private sector financing, aid, FDI, remittances, sovereign wealth and



trade finance, as well as sectoral financing of agricultural and infrastructural projects. Readers will acquire both breadth and depth in critical and contemporary issues in development finance from a philosophical and yet pragmatic development impact approach. The text ensures this by carefully integrating the relevant theoretical underpinnings, empirical assessments and practical policy issues into its analysis. The work is designed to be fully accessible to practitioners with only a limited theoretical economic background, allowing them to deeply engage with the book as useful reference material. Readers may find more advanced information and technical details provided in clear, concise boxes throughout the text. Finally, each chapter is fully supported by a set of review questions as well as cases and examples from developing countries, particularly those in Africa. This book is a valuable resource for both development finance researchers and students taking courses in development finance, development economics, international finance, financial development policy and economic policy management. Practitioners will find the development impact, policy and conceptual analysis dimensions extremely insightful for purposes of analysing and designing intervention strategies.
