Given weak global growth prospects and significant downside risks, our economic policies will need to strike a balance between supporting growth and creating the fiscal space to respond to emergent economic challenges. This means executing on fiscal consolidation now, particularly in highly indebted countries.

The policy package we prescribe should balance growth, equity and sustainability concerns, including protecting society’s most vulnerable, particularly youth and women, who tend to be left behind during economic transformations.

Tackling corruption decisively would also help raise additional resources and redirect them to growth-friendly areas, while restoring the integrity of institutions. This would in turn spread economic benefits more widely within and across countries.

This is a time to act boldly and swiftly to ensure we don’t confine Africa’s youth to the margins of global economic activity.

In line with the aforementioned, Globe Chamber of Commerce and Industry presents Asia-Africa Economic and Investment Forum 2021.
