Opening statement by His Excellency, Ato Sufian Ahmed, Minister of Finance and Economic Development, Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia at the second Joint Annual Meetings of the AU Conference of Ministers of Economy and Finance and ECA Conference of Ministers of Finance, Planning and Economic Development. Ato Sofian, on his remarks highlighted that, we meet today in the shadow of a global financial and economic crisis more serious than we have seen for generations. Although it is not a crisis of our own making, the global downturn has put at risk Africa's growth and development prospects. The impact of the crisis on Africa will be severe, as it turns into a human and development crisis for the continent. As the financial crisis hits every economy around the world, most African countries are finding that every source of their development finance – remittances, export and commodity demand, aid and capital flows – are now being affected. We will pay considerable attention at this Conference to the actions and practical measures that we makers can take to enhance the effectiveness of fiscal policies for effective resource mobilization, including reversing capital flight and increasing ODA.
