Abstract

The study of medieval and early modern geographic space, literary cartography, and spatial thinking at a time of rapid digitization in the Humanities offers new ways to investigate spatial knowledge and world perceptions in pre-modern societies. Digitization of cultural heritage collections, open source databases, and interactive resources utilizing a rich variety of source materials—place names, early modern cadastral maps, medieval literature and art, Viking Age and medieval runic inscriptions—provides opportunities to re-think traditional lines of research on spatiality and worldviews, encourage innovation in methodology, and engage critically with digital outcomes. In this book, Nordic scholars of philology, onomastics, history, geography, literary studies, and digital humanities examine multiple aspects of ten large- and small-scale digital spatial infrastructures from the early stages of development to the practical applications of digital tools for studying spatial thinking and knowledge in pre-modern sources and societies.

Abstract

The Guinean authorities are working to reduce the country's infrastructure deficit and have provided for this effort in Guinea's 2016–20 National Economic and Social Development Plan (PNDES). Public-private partnerships (PPPs) are a mechanism used to fund major projects to be implemented. To support the process, the authorities requested technical assistance from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to prepare a thorough assessment of the public investment management (PIM) system to supplement the Public Expenditure and Financial Accountability (PEFA) assessment conducted in March 2018. The objectives of the present mission were to evaluate PIM in Guinea using the Public Investment Management Assessment (PIMA) methodology as revised by the IMF in April 2018. This report presents public investment trends and the public investment efficiency gap, details the results of the assessment, and offers recommendations to improve PIM in Guinea.

Implementation of the authorities’ economic program, supported by an Extended Credit Facility (ECF) arrangement approved in July 2016, has been generally strong, buttressing the recovery.

Abstract

Upon assuming office in April 2016, the new government moved swiftly to address the deteriorating fiscal situation compounded by spillovers from Nigeria and requested Fund support under the Extended Credit Facility (ECF). On April 7, 2017, the IMF Executive Board approved an ECF Arrangement for Benin for an amount equivalent to SDR 111.42 million (about US$151.03 million or 90 percent of Benin’s quota) to support the country’s economic and financial reform program.

The West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) member countries have experienced growth acceleration since 2012.

Abstract

This 2018 Article IV Consultation highlights improvement in the Comorian economy in 2017. Growth is estimated at 2.7 percent for 2017, half a percentage point higher than in the previous year. A combination of factors contributed to this outcome, notably an improved electricity situation relative to 2016, increased exports, and stronger remittance flows. However, the economy was held back by a perceived deterioration in the business climate and tensions in the financial sector. Inflation remained moderate. The near-term outlook remains challenging in the absence of further reform efforts. The authorities’ reform agenda and investment plans, undertaken in the context of their revised strategic development plan will help raise future potential growth rates.

Abstract

Mali is a fragile state, facing severe security challenges and social tensions. The authorities struggle with the implementation of the 2015 peace agreement, and persistent insecurity in northern and central Mali associated with limited State presence, highlights the lack of a peace dividend and explains limited societal buy-in. The economic recovery has entered its fifth year, and growth is projected to remain robust in the near term. However, poverty remains high and social discontent is growing. The economic outlook is also subject to downside risks from the volatile security conditions and potential pressures on policy implementation ahead of the 2018 elections.
