Given the contingent nature of external resources as a partial explanation of the mitigated results of the Millennium Development Goals, this note considers that domestic resource mobilization (DRM) is a key to effective delivery of the SDGs in Africa. Literature broadly supports the use of DRM across the continent, but there is little research that looks to understand under what circumstances it is most successful. Building on Matland’s work, this policy brief proposes an innovative comprehensive analytical and predictive model, which explains the key factors leading to failure or success, providing policymakers with contextual and operational policy options to help implement DRM successfully for effective delivery of the SDGs.

This paper will discuss the locations of reserves, their volumes, when they will be developed, what they will be used for, and possible impediments to their development. In addition to Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania a ...

    Les nouveaux défis des fonds souverains pétroliers
    Authors

    March 3, 2015
    Les fonds souverains sont souvent présentés comme un instrument efficace pour la gestion de la rente des hydrocarbures, permettant de réduire l’impact de la volatilité des revenus pétroliers ou gaziers sur l’économie, de dissocier les dépenses des revenus et de favoriser une gestion plus transparente de la rente. Avec l’envolée des cours du pétrole entre 2007 et 2014 et les réserves financières considérables accumulées par les pays producteurs d’hydrocarbures, la stratégie d’allocat ...

    March 2, 2015
    Alors qu’un effort de réglementation de la sphère financière est en cours depuis la crise de 2008 en Europe et aux EtatsUnis, le rôle des marchés dérivés de matières premières se renforce de par le monde, à l’image de la stratégie menée par la Chine dans ce domaine. La maîtrise des moyens pour y accéder, de la culture pour les comprendre et des techniques pour les utiliser est alors essentielle, tant pour les producteurs que pour les consommateurs. ...

    While an effort to regulate the financial sector has been underway since the 2008 crisis in Europe and the United States, the role of derivative commodity markets is increasing around the world, like China’s strategy in this area. Mastering the means to access these markets, the culture to understand them and techniques to use them is thus essential, both for producers and consumers. ...

    Brazil after the 2014 Elections: A Bumpy Road Ahead
    Authors

    Brazil’s future prospects, and ability to harness its advantages, will hinge on its own policy choices over the next few years. Yet the outlook for meaningful change is unclear. At present, Brazil is in a weaker position than four years ago, from both an economic and a foreign policy standpoint. Even in a scenario where Brazil’s economy gradually returns to the course it was on until 2008, no major strategic changes are likely to happen in Rousseff’s four-year term. ...

    Cet article propose, dans un premier temps, une revue de la littérature analytique et empirique récente sur les gains et coûts potentiels associés à l’intégration financière internationale, ainsi que les enjeux de politique économique créés ou exacerbés par cette intégration. En particulier, l’analyse fait ressortir le fait que, pour un pays en développement, les gains associés à cette intégration se matérialisent surtout sur le long terme, tandis que les coûts (liés notamment aux r ...

    Is Manufacturing Still a Key to Growth ?
    Authors
    Uri Dadush
    February 10, 2015
    Manufacturing is declining as a share of GDP not only in advanced countries, but in developing countries as well. This new trend, a result of complex forces, should be seen on balance as a reason for development-optimism, not pessimism. In the 21st century economy, manufacturing remains important, but poor countries can attract investment, grow rapidly and diversify away from agriculture on the basis of many possible sources of comparative advantage, without artificially promoting m ...
