The Covid-19 pandemic has aggravated the tension between large development needs in infrastructure and scarce public resources. To alleviate this tension and promote a strong and job-rich recovery from the crisis, Africa needs to mobilize more financing from and to the private sector.

Macro-Structural Obstacles to Firm Performance: Evidence from 2,640 Firms in Nigeria

A recent World Bank enterprise survey identified access to finance as the top constraint to Doing Business in Nigeria. In this context, the objective of this paper is two-fold: (i) study firm characteristics associated with more access to finance and export diversification; and (ii) quantify the impact of these structural obstacles on firm performance. Results suggest that (i) larger and export-oriented firms are about 40 percentage points less likely to report access to finance as a business obstacle, while firms perceiving access to finance as a constraint are, on average, about 10-40 percentage points less likely to be export-oriented diversified firms; and (ii) better access to finance and export diversification can help firm employment —as much as 80 percent higher— and capacity utilization. Results are largely robust to different specifications and estimation methods.

Regional Economic Outlook, April 2018, Sub-Saharan Africa

The region is seeing a modest growth uptick, but this is not uniform and the medium-term outlook remains subdued. Growth is projected to rise to 3.4 percent in 2018, from 2.8 percent in 2017, on the back of improved global growth, higher commodity prices, and continued strong public spending. About 3⁄4 of the countries in the region are predicted to experience faster growth. Beyond 2018, growth is expected to plateau below 4 percent, modestly above population growth, reflecting continued sluggishness in the oil-exporting countries and sustained growth in non-resource-intensive countries. A number of countries (Burundi, DRC, South Sudan, and parts of the Sahel) remain locked in internal conflict resulting in record levels of refugees and Internally Displaced Persons, with adverse spillovers to neighboring countries.

World Economic Outlook, October 2024

The latest World Economic Outlook reports stable but underwhelming global growth, with the balance of risks tilted to the downside. As monetary policy is eased amid continued disinflation, shifting gears is needed to ensure that fiscal policy is on a sustainable path and to rebuild fiscal buffers. Understanding the role of monetary policy in recent global disinflation, and the factors that influence the social acceptability of structural reforms, will be key to promoting stable and more rapid growth in the future.

新冠疫情持续不退,气候变化似在加速,这两个问题依然困扰着我们的世界,也突显了全球加强合作与对话的必要性。为解决这些全球性问题,所有国家和地区都必须参与进来,而撒哈拉以南非洲尤其如此。从全世界来看,该地区目前的疫苗接种率最低,但可再生能源的前景与潜力最大,且其拥有关键的生态系统。撒哈拉以南非洲的经济预计将在2021年增长3.7%,在2022年增长3.8%。相比2020年的大幅收缩,这将是显著的改善,但与其他地区相比,撒哈拉以南非洲的复苏步伐仍是最慢的。特别是,经济前景在三个层面上出现分化:撒哈拉以南非洲与其他...

Regional Economic Outlook, October 2021, Sub-Saharan Africa

La planète reste aux prises avec la pandémie de COVID-19 et avec une accélération apparente des changements climatiques, qui toutes deux soulignent la nécessité de renforcer la coopération et le dialogue à l’échelle mondiale. Les solutions à ces défis mondiaux doivent mobiliser tous les pays et toutes les régions, surtout l’Afrique subsaharienne, qui possède la population la moins vaccinée au monde, un potentiel très prometteur en matière d’énergies renouvelables et des écosystèmes critiques. La croissance de l’Afrique subsaharienne devrait s’établir à 3,7 % en 2021 puis à 3,8 % en 2022. Cette reprise suit la forte contraction observée en 2020 et est la bienv...
