Over the past two decades, the national revenue systems of most countries in anglophone Africa have undergone major reforms. These comprise, in particular, the introduction of Value Added Tax (VAT), the adoption of 'advanced' tax administration practices, and the creation of semi-autonomous revenue authorities. What do these reforms imply for emerging patterns of politics and governance in anglophone Africa? int_external_assistance financing4development development_policy policy_news dpir Thu, 25 Jul 2013 07:45:30 +0000 http://del.icio.us/url/229355c5c5a2674b77c592ab7876fef4#cotonou_online http://www.afdb.org/fileadmin/uploads/afdb/Documents/Publications/Working%20Paper%20178%20-%20Holding%20Excess%20Foreign%20Reserves%20Versus%20Infrastructure%20Finance-%20What%20should%20Africa%20do.pdf http://del.icio.us/url/229355c5c5a2674b77c592ab7876fef4 http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/url/229355c5c5a2674b77c592ab7876fef4 cotonou_online's links Based on these estimations, the study has shown that: (i) African countries have held excess reserves in the range of $ 165.5 and $ 193.6 billion on average per year between 2000 and 2011. This is more than the infrastructure financing gap identified at $93 billion per year; and (ii) the social cost of holding these excess reserves amount to up to 1.65% in GDP terms on average. In addition, the study provides some suggestions on how central banks can innovate in their reserves management. A close collaboration between the central banks and the debt management offices on the alignment of foreign reserves and foreign debt is deemed crucial. int_external_assistance acpeutrade financing4development development_policy policy_news dpir aid4trade au international_relations Wed, 24 Jul 2013 04:21:00 +0000 http://del.icio.us/url/9fd2a2147967d939155badb1a08cc1b9#cotonou_online http://ue.eu.int/uedocs/cms_data/docs/pressdata/en/ec/138333.pdf http://del.icio.us/url/9fd2a2147967d939155badb1a08cc1b9 http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/url/9fd2a2147967d939155badb1a08cc1b9 cotonou_online's links On the main priorities of the summit they stress that: 1) growth and employment need to be at the top of the G20 agenda; 2) financial reform needs to be completed; 3) tax avoidance and evasion need to be pushed forward and 4) the reform of the International Financial Architecture needs to be completed and progress be made with the work on development, anti-corruption and Energy. int_external_assistance financing4development acpeutrade general_trade_issues development_policy governance_of_economic_reform policy_news dpir governance Mon, 22 Jul 2013 08:55:57 +0000 http://del.icio.us/url/fcdb6f78bac1d108598504651dfb69b9#cotonou_online http://www.oecd.org/newsroom/oecd-calls-on-g20-finance-ministers-to-support-next-steps-in-clampdown-on-tax-avoidance.htm http://del.icio.us/url/fcdb6f78bac1d108598504651dfb69b9 http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/url/fcdb6f78bac1d108598504651dfb69b9 cotonou_online's links int_external_assistance acpeutrade financing4development governance_of_economic_reform development_policy policy_news dpir governance Mon, 22 Jul 2013 08:50:43 +0000 http://del.icio.us/url/0f3796e6e448515648e406c623023a34#cotonou_online http://www.imf.org/external/pubs/cat/longres.aspx?sk=40804.0 http://del.icio.us/url/0f3796e6e448515648e406c623023a34 http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/url/0f3796e6e448515648e406c623023a34 cotonou_online's links Since the early 1990s, major tax administration reforms have been implemented in the Francophone countries of sub-Saharan Africa, with significant support from the IMF and development partners. While the reforms have contributed to an increase in revenues, attention is still needed to address a number of weaknesses in these countries’ tax administrations. A review of the conditions for successful modernization of the tax administration shows that significant changes are needed to ensure better utilization of technical assistance, improve the governance of reforms, and provide the tax administrations with greater flexibility in managing their resources. int_external_assistance financing4development acpeutrade development_policy governance_of_economic_reform policy_news dpir governance Mon, 22 Jul 2013 08:07:30 +0000 http://del.icio.us/url/e1514dc1a95e13094f5058a074e2d088#cotonou_online http://trademarksa.org/news/g20-finance-ministers-and-central-bank-governors-communique-0 http://del.icio.us/url/e1514dc1a95e13094f5058a074e2d088 http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/url/e1514dc1a95e13094f5058a074e2d088 cotonou_online's links int_external_assistance acpeutrade financing4development int_development_effectiveness governance_of_economic_reform development_policy policy_news dpir governance Mon, 22 Jul 2013 07:57:32 +0000 http://del.icio.us/url/bbbcc72abc374f3227dd5a92924a9132#cotonou_online http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/6b3b590e-f090-11e2-929c-00144feabdc0.html#axzz2Zl3zfa8k http://del.icio.us/url/bbbcc72abc374f3227dd5a92924a9132 http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/url/bbbcc72abc374f3227dd5a92924a9132 cotonou_online's links OECD highlights need to modernise outdated systems. int_external_assistance financing4development int_development_effectiveness acpeutrade development_policy governance_of_economic_reform policy_news dpir governance Mon, 22 Jul 2013 07:56:44 +0000 http://del.icio.us/url/570be5750b2eda587303f18013aeca9f#cotonou_online http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/5e9d2158-f155-11e2-b753-00144feabdc0.html?ftcamp=published_links%2Frss%2Fglobal-economy%2Ffeed%2F%2Fproduct#axzz2Zl3zfa8k http://del.icio.us/url/570be5750b2eda587303f18013aeca9f http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/url/570be5750b2eda587303f18013aeca9f cotonou_online's links A new global standard on transparency was endorsed by G20 finance ministers meeting in Moscow on Saturday, giving added impetus to the international crackdown on tax evasion. int_external_assistance int_development_effectiveness financing4development acpeutrade development_policy governance_of_economic_reform policy_news dpir governance
