The Foreign Exchange Shortage and Commercial Agriculture Crisis in Sub-Saharan Africa,
by Jean-Claude Berthélemy, Christian Morrisson.
This article provides a simple macroeconomic analysis offering an explanation for the self-maintained foreign exchange shortage in African countries whose mainstay is agriculture. The initial rationing of foreign exchange, which is often induced by errors in economic policy, causes a shortage of manufactured goods in rural areas. Under these circumstances, farmers no longer have any impetus to produce marketable goods, the result of which is a drop in foreign exchange receipts and an even more serious crisis in the balance of payments. A numerical illustration is provided in the article for a sample of about ten African countries. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
