Edited by Laura Wallace, this volume presents the proceedings of a May 1998 seminar in Paris, organized jointly by the IMF and the Japanese Ministry of Finance, on ways to accelerate Africa's growth in our increasingly globalized world. Senior African and Asian government officials, representatives from multicultural institutions, donors, academics, and private sector participants gathered to discuss how to improve the private investment environment in African countries and take advantage of globalization's benefits while minimizing its risks, and how to strengthen the contribution of government in areas of capacity building, good governance, effective public resource management, and improved quality and composition of government spending.BooksFree tradeAfricaCongressesStructural adjustment (Economic policy)AfricaCongressesInvestments, ForeignAfricaCongressesAggregate Human CapitalimfAggregate Labor ProductivityimfBalance of paymentsimfBankingimfBanks and BankingimfBanks and bankingimfBanksimfCivil service & public sectorimfCivil serviceimfCommercial banksimfCommercial policyimfDepository InstitutionsimfEconomic theoryimfEmploymentimfExpenditureimfExpenditures, PublicimfExports and ImportsimfFinanceimfFinancial institutionsimfForeign direct investmentimfIncome economicsimfIndustries: Financial ServicesimfIntergenerational Income DistributionimfInternational economicsimfInternational InvestmentimfInternational Trade OrganizationsimfInternational tradeimfLaborimfLabourimfLong-term Capital MovementsimfMicro Finance InstitutionsimfMortgagesimfNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: GeneralimfPublic employmentimfPublic finance & taxationimfPublic FinanceimfTrade liberalizationimfTrade PolicyimfTrade policyimfUnemploymentimfWagesimfAfricaEconomic policyCongressesUgandaimfFree tradeStructural adjustment (Economic policy)Investments, ForeignAggregate Human CapitalAggregate Labor ProductivityBalance of paymentsBankingBanks and BankingBanks and bankingBanksCivil service & public sectorCivil serviceCommercial banksCommercial policyDepository InstitutionsEconomic theoryEmploymentExpenditureExpenditures, PublicExports and ImportsFinanceFinancial institutionsForeign direct investmentIncome economicsIndustries: Financial ServicesIntergenerational Income DistributionInternational economicsInternational InvestmentInternational Trade OrganizationsInternational tradeLaborLabourLong-term Capital MovementsMicro Finance InstitutionsMortgagesNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: GeneralPublic employmentPublic finance & taxationPublic FinanceTrade liberalizationTrade PolicyTrade policyUnemploymentWages338.96Wallace Laura1813247International Monetary Fund.DcWaIMFBOOK9910972782603321Africa4366165UNINA
