33 Three priority areas to ensure a stronger and durable recovery: ØReinforce emphasis on macroeconomic stability ØStructural reforms to support healthier macro balances ØStronger emphasis on social protection 33
34 What supports growth spells: improved policies, better institutions, fewer market distortions, and a better external environment. Impact of an improv ement of 25 percentile points starting from the median Trade openness Inflation Sub-Saharan Africa: Impact on Spell Duration (Years) Investment to GDP Total public debt Oil price, change Terms of trade growth Polity 2, cumulative change Real GDP per capita growth Macroeconomic Variables External Shocks Institutions Other Relative price of investment to consumption Note: Each bar shows the change in the expected duration of a growth spell (in numbers of years) if a variable improves by 25 percentile points from the median value in the sample of sub-saharan African countries, while holding other variables constant. 34
35 More emphasis on adjustment needed in many cases Hardest-hit resource-intensive countries: Strong fiscal consolidation required, with strong focus on revenue mobilization Where available, greater exchange rate flexibility/elimination of exchange restrictions important Other countries: Where growth is still strong, emerging vulnerabilities need to be addressed from position of strength Infrastructure investment needs to be addressed through higher revenue mobilization to safeguard debt sustainability 35
36 Reforms needed to support macro objectives ØDomestic revenue mobilization Ø Greater emphasis on safeguarding financial stability Ø Fostering economic diversification ØState-owned enterprise reforms to limit contingent liabilities 36
37 Stronger emphasis on social protection necessary Ø Low growth and widening macroeconomic imbalances risk aggravating social dislocation and increasing poverty Ø Social protection programs often fragmented, not welltargeted, and cover a small share of the population Ø Need to better target these and also use savings from regressive expenditures such as fuel subsidies to help vulnerable groups 37
38 Conclusion q Strong domestic policy response to revive growth q Macroeconomic and structural policies Ø Countries where growth has slowed è focus on macroeconomic stability to set the stage for a growth turnaround that can be sustained Ø Countries enjoying a growth spell è address emerging vulnerabilities and focus on prolonging growth Ø All countries è complementing efforts to unlock growth potential 38
