Sierra Leone Private Investment and Financial Sector Development

This book provides a detailed overview and analysis of key macroeconomics variables in Sierra Leone from 1980 to 2015.

Like Sierra Leone and Ghana, many nations depend primarily on taxation as a means of galvanizing the required resources needed to meet public expenditure requirements. As a result, it is critical to study how fiscal variables change and how private investment can improve life for everyone.

Dr. Ezekiel K. Duramany-Lakkoh, dean of the faculty at University of Sierra Leone, explores Sierra Leone’s fiscal policy and how it’s changed over time in this academic work. Topics include:

• economic growth beginning in 2010;
• social and economic reform programs;
• monetary policy and its effect on inflation;
• external and domestic debt management.

The author also highlights how government spending has influenced private investment at home and abroad—as well as how a re-established political order has contributed to impressive growth.

Whether you do business in Sierra Leone, want to do business there, have a connection to the country, or are a citizen or native, you’ll find valuable insights in this book.
