Titre : Coercion or engagement ? : Economics and Institutions in ACP-EU trade negotiations Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Stepan Szepesi, Auteur Editeur : ECDPM Année de publication : 1998 Collection : Discussion Paper num. 56 Importance : 37 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Coopération au développement Tags : Union Européenne ACP Index. décimale : 03.02 Accords Commerciaux Résumé : If concluded, Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) will constitute unprecedented reciprocal free trade arrangements between the world’s largest single market and some of the poorest economic regions. According to the Cotonou Agreement signed by the EU and the ACP countries, poverty alleviation and integration into the world economy are the overriding objectives of these EPAs. Yet, the economic and development impact of EPAs is ambiguous. A wide body of economic theory confirms that trade reform can lead to efficiency gains, increased competition, lower prices, knowledge transfers and ultimately higher economic growth. The robustness of this theory, however, has so far been predominantly demonstrated by North-North trade relations, one of the most renown examples being the internal market of the EU. Once North-South trade liberalisation is put in a similar framework, it becomes clear that some of the potential gains from a free trade agreement with the EU might not be realised due to a lack of enabling conditions within the ACP countries. Moreover, some of the costs that will invariably emerge due to trade reform will have more serious consequences for groups in the South. Undeniably, EPAs will know both winners and losers. Whether domestic policy measures can substantially mitigate the costs and optimise the benefits will depend on a variety of external as well as domestic factors.

Titre : The future of financing for development in Africa : Insights from the Annual Meetings of the AfDB in May 2015 Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Adedayo Bolaji-Adio, Auteur Editeur : ECDPM Année de publication : October 2015 Collection : Briefing note num. 79 Importance : 7 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Tags : Financement du développement Afrique Résumé : To effectively raise finance for development, however, African governments will need to create conditions for inclusive economic growth and at the same time improve tax policy and public financial management systems.
(...) international efforts to combat illicit financial flows can help Africa to raise the resources needed to finance its development. Ultimately though, such reforms will accomplish little without political stability and inclusion, government accountability and transparency, social protection, and the availability of key infrastructure and public services.(...)
Key Messages
One of the reasons for the failure of the Millennium Development Goals and past international Financing for Development conferences was the absence of a strong growth agenda. In order to raise the necessary finance for the implementation of Africa’s development agenda, including the sustainable development goals, African countries will need to concentrate on boosting economic growth and reducing income inequality.
African governments need to take a developmental approach to domestic resource mobilisation that focuses on improved tax administration, the provision of critical public services and support for private-sector productivity.
A concerted international effort to combat illicit financial flows is extremely important for assisting African countries to mobilise financial capital for development. Curbing illicit financial flows requires more domestic capacity for fighting corruption as well as better international cooperation on tax and money-laundering issues.En ligne : http://ecdpm.org/publications/future-financing-development-africa-afdb/?utm_sour [...] The future of financing for development in Africa : Insights from the Annual Meetings of the AfDB in May 2015 [document électronique] / Adedayo Bolaji-Adio, Auteur . - [S.l.] : ECDPM, October 2015 . - 7 p. - (Briefing note; 79) .
