Statement by Mr. Abdoulie Janneh, UN Under Secretary General and Executive Secretary of ECA
Statement by Mr. Abdoulie Janneh, UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of ECA at the 2009 African Economic Conference. Mr. Janneh, on his remarks highlighted that, the 2009 African Economic Conference (AEC), which has become the leading forum for an exchange of views on economic and development matters for practitioners working on African issues. Its role in highlighting innovative research has become even more critical because of the current economic and financial crisis. We have come a long way since then in assessing the impact of the crisis on growth, export earnings, financial flows and social development. Several commentators, including Albert Hirschman, so many years ago, had warned about the dangers of mono economics. This view recognizes that due to development and institutional differences, the right macroeconomic framework for developed countries differs substantially from what is best suited to developing economies.
