Description for Public Debt and Private Wealth
Hardback. An analysis of the role of the IMF in one of Africa's poorest and most debt-stricken economies, and the wealth that lies hidden from official statistics in Sudan's parallel economy. Series: Macmillan International Political Economy S. Num Pages: 355 pages, biography. BIC Classification: 1HBS; KCM. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 216 x 140 x 34. Weight in Grams: 606.
This study analyses the IMF's role in sub-Saharan foreign debt and structural adjustment issues. A detailed analysis concentrating upon Sudan disproves assumptions about the IMF's capacity to enforce its much-touted, tough policy conditions, and about the inability of defaulting countries to maintain capital inflows, even when in arrears to the IMF itself. The study also examines IMF and World Bank analysis and the efficacy of their policies given the substantial unrecorded foreign exchange inflows and outflows associated with unofficial migrant remittances, the parallel economy and capital flight.
