| Summary: | Macroeconomic management in Chad, Mali
and Niger needs to account for a number of specific
parameters. Very rapid population growth exerts immense
pressure on the demand for education and health services.
Economic activity and prices are strongly influenced by
climatic variations, and exports and government revenues
depend on a few commodities whose price widely fluctuate.
Security threats complicate budget planning and divert
public resource from developmental uses. Belonging to
monetary unions strengthens macroeconomic stability, but
limits as well the range of policy instruments at the
disposal of countries' authorities to address the many
developmental challenges they face. |
