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. 410 0$aBooks 606 $aFree trade$zAfrica$vCongresses 606 $aStructural adjustment (Economic policy)$zAfrica$vCongresses 606 $aInvestments, Foreign$zAfrica$vCongresses 606 $aBanks and Banking$2imf 606 $aExports and Imports$2imf 606 $aLabor$2imf 606 $aPublic Finance$2imf 606 $aIndustries: Financial Services$2imf 606 $aNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: General$2imf 606 $aEmployment$2imf 606 $aUnemployment$2imf 606 $aWages$2imf 606 $aIntergenerational Income Distribution$2imf 606 $aAggregate Human Capital$2imf 606 $aAggregate Labor Productivity$2imf 606 $aBanks$2imf 606 $aDepository Institutions$2imf 606 $aMicro Finance Institutions$2imf 606 $aMortgages$2imf 606 $aTrade Policy$2imf 606 $aInternational Trade Organizations$2imf 606 $aInternational Investment$2imf 606 $aLong-term Capital Movements$2imf 606 $aPublic finance & taxation$2imf 606 $aBanking$2imf 606 $aInternational economics$2imf 606 $aCivil service & public sector$2imf 606 $aLabour$2imf 606 $aincome economics$2imf 606 $aFinance$2imf 606 $aExpenditure$2imf 606 $aPublic employment$2imf 606 $aTrade liberalization$2imf 606 $aCommercial banks$2imf 606 $aInternational trade$2imf 606 $aFinancial institutions$2imf 606 $aForeign direct investment$2imf 606 $aBalance of payments$2imf 606 $aTrade policy$2imf 606 $aExpenditures, Public$2imf 606 $aBanks and banking$2imf 606 $aCommercial policy$2imf 606 $aEconomic theory$2imf 606 $aCivil service$2imf 607 $aAfrica$xEconomic policy$vCongresses 607 $aUganda$2imf 615 0$aFree trade 615 0$aStructural adjustment (Economic policy) 615 0$aInvestments, Foreign 615 7$aBanks and Banking 615 7$aExports and Imports 615 7$aLabor 615 7$aPublic Finance 615 7$aIndustries: Financial Services 615 7$aNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: General 615 7$aEmployment 615 7$aUnemployment 615 7$aWages 615 7$aIntergenerational Income Distribution 615 7$aAggregate Human Capital 615 7$aAggregate Labor Productivity 615 7$aBanks 615 7$aDepository Institutions 615 7$aMicro Finance Institutions 615 7$aMortgages 615 7$aTrade Policy 615 7$aInternational Trade Organizations 615 7$aInternational Investment 615 7$aLong-term Capital Movements 615 7$aPublic finance & taxation 615 7$aBanking 615 7$aInternational economics 615 7$aCivil service & public sector 615 7$aLabour 615 7$aincome economics 615 7$aFinance 615 7$aExpenditure 615 7$aPublic employment 615 7$aTrade liberalization 615 7$aCommercial banks 615 7$aInternational trade 615 7$aFinancial institutions 615 7$aForeign direct investment 615 7$aBalance of payments 615 7$aTrade policy 615 7$aExpenditures, Public 615 7$aBanks and banking 615 7$aCommercial policy 615 7$aEconomic theory 615 7$aCivil service 676 $a338.96 700 $aWallace$b Laura$01632386 712 02$aInternational Monetary Fund. 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816694903321 996 $aAfrica$93971478 997 $aUNINA
