Oil Wealth in Central Africa

New IMF volume: Despite its vast oil wealth, central Africa still struggles to sustain strong, inclusive economic growth or to generate sufficient employment opportunities, particularly for its fast-growing youth population. Drawing on new research, Oil Wealth in Central Africa, edited by Bernardin Akitoby and Sharmini Coorey, lays out the macroeconomic and growth challenges facing the region; examines oil wealth management and its implications for poverty reduction; and includes four case studies that exemplify lessons learned.
It includes a chapter on managing oil windfalls by van der Ploeg.
