Abstract

Cet ouvrage évalue la pertinence et l’utilité des garanties accordées aux acteurs publics et privés de pays en développement, en particulier pour le financement de projets de développement. A la différence des garanties de crédit à l’exportation, qui sont généralement octroyées à des ressortissants nationaux afin de stimuler les exportations et les investissements à l’étranger, les garanties à l’appui du développement sont destinées à des acteurs de pays émergents ou en développement où le niveau de risque est tel qu’il décourage prêteurs et investisseurs. L’existence d’une garantie émanant d’un organisme multilatéral ou bilatéral peut favoriser un accroissement des flux financiers ou inciter les capitaux à aller se placer là où ils n’auraient peut-être pas été autrement. Par ce biais, les garanties peuvent contribuer à améliorer la cote d’un pays, sans compter leur effet direct immédiat sur les conditions locales de développement. En prime, comme le montre cette étude, les garanties en faveur du développement peuvent contribuer à stimuler et stabiliser les marchés locaux des capitaux, avec les avantages ultérieurs qui en résultent pour les investisseurs, publics et privés. « Ce livre apporte à point nommé un éclairage aussi urgent que nécessaire sur une des clés essentielles, bien qu'assez mal appréhendée, du progrès économique dans les pays en développement. J'en félicite profondément l'auteur. » Michel Camdessus (gouverneur honoraire de la Banque de France, ancien directeur général du Fonds monétaire international)

Abstract

This volume tests the relevance and usefulness of guarantees to public and private actors in developing countries, especially for funding development projects. The presence of guarantees from multilateral or bilateral agencies can encourage financial flows either to increase, or to go where they otherwise might not. In this way, they can have a positive effect on sovereign ratings as well as their immediate direct effect on the local development environment. As a bonus, this study finds, development guarantees can help stimulate and stabilize local capital markets, thus providing future benefits for both public and private investors.--Publisher summary.

Abstract

This Selected Issues paper analyzes the growth, structural transformation, and export diversification in Benin. Although Benin has delivered high economic growth over recent years, it faces critical challenges regarding export diversification and domestic production. Benin’s competitiveness is impaired by structural bottlenecks. Low and stagnant productivity in the agriculture sector is perhaps a primary cause of the limited poverty reduction in rural areas. Policies to promote structural transformation and diversification should focus on addressing weaknesses that hinder entry into new lines of economic activity. Further progress on strengthening the business climate, addressing electricity shortages, and increasing human capital could provide significant benefits.
