Launch of the Economic Report on Africa in Rabat

Abstract

Countries on the continent, including North Africa, must adopt industrial policies that are germane to their own local contexts and set up strong institutions with the mandate of formulating and pushing through such policies. These are the major recommendations of the Economic Report on Africa 2014 launched at the University Mohamed V, in Rabat, Morocco on 21 November 2014. The Report incorporates several country case studies across Africa, including that of Tunisia, partly relating the continent’s failure to transform itself industrially to inadequacies in industrial policy design.
