Analysis of the determinants of financial inclusion in Central and West Africa

Abstract: Using data from the Global Financial Inclusion database (Global Findex) of the World Bank, this study attempts to identify and analyse the determinants of financial inclusion in Central and West Africa, two of the least financial inclusive regions of the Africa continent. The findings indicate that access to formal finance in the two regions is mainly driven by individual characteristics such as gender, education, age, income, residence area, employment status, marital status, household size and degree of trust in financial institutions. However, Central Africa and West Africa differ with the entire Africa region on a number of important determinants of access to finance. Specifically, educated, working-age, urban resident and full-time employed are significant individual characteristics of access to formal account in both regions and in Africa. However, being male and/or married are positive determinants of financial inclusion for Central Africa and Africa, whereas income is significant in West A...

Effects of trade and FDI on economic growth in Africa: an empirical investigation

Abstract: The Bhagwati hypothesis predicts a growth enhancing effects of trade (exports) and foreign direct investment (FDI) interaction. This paper tests the validity of the Bhagwati hypothesis by investigating the extent to which the interaction of trade (exports) and FDI has had an impact on economic growth for a sample of 45 African countries over the period 1990–2014. To do so, we estimate an augmented endogenous growth model with the aid of a dynamic system generalised method of moment (GMM) estimation technique, which adequately cope with potential endogeneity issues. The findings reveal support for the Bhagwati hypothesis and provide vital information for policy formulation aimed at promoting more credible export-promotion strategies and channelling of FDI into export-oriented sectors in long-term development strategies in African countries.

While Global FDI Falls, China's Outward FDI Doubles

Abstract: In 2008, global FDI fell by around twenty percent, while China's outward FDI nearly doubled. This disparity is likely to continue in 2009 and 2010 as China invests even more overseas. This article explains the five key drivers of China's outward foreign direct investment: its need to secure natural resources to fuel rapid growth; its need for services like shipping and insurance to support the high export volumes of domestic firms; the acquisition of global brands by China's major enterprises; the loss of the monopoly position of large state-owned enterprises; and the movement of labour-intensive operations to cheaper overseas locations like Vietnam and Africa.
