SMEs in Africa: the “Missing Middle”
| |
| The development of the private sector varies greatly
throughout Africa. SMEs are flourishing in South Africa,
Mauritius and North Africa, thanks to fairly modern financial
systems and clear government policies in favour of private
enterprise. Elsewhere the rise of a small-business class
has been hindered by political instability or strong
dependence on a few raw materials. |

4.2 Diversification regimes in Africa: Economic Report on Africa 2007
| |
| Analysing the various diversification indices and the structure of the top ten export
commodities for selected countries over the last two decades and a half provides
some useful insights which can be used to define diversification regimes that characterize
Africa. Five diversification regimes can be identified from Africa’s experience
(see Ben Hammouda et al. 2006b). These regimes should not be viewed as steps
or as a continuum that a country must follow as it moves from a concentrated to
a diversified economy. Rather, the regimes are a result of the policy actions that a
country has set in place over a given period of time. The particular regime that a
country falls into is likely to be the result of a mix among the various diversification
determinants. |

process; those with deepened diversification; backsliders in diversification; and
the conflict and post-conflict countries. This report suggests that belonging to a
particular regime has more to do with policy and institutional factors at the country
level. Consequently, there are different determinants when the discussion is brought
to the country level (see table A5.2 for correlation results). |

Progressivism Isn't Progress, XII
| |
| Taking the country back from the progressives is the biggest project we've ever faced - even bigger than the World Wars and the Great Depression (which many now believe was caused by the very governmental intrusion that purported to "solve" it). In fact, in the progressive movement, America may finally have met her match. We may well end up willingly destroying ourselves, generations after other "super power" regimes learned the same lessons we're about to learn the hard way.... |
