During my keynote address at the 2021 Economic Development New Zealand conference last week, I emphasized that wealth plays a critical role in helping households to buffer economic shocks, in addition to making strategic investments capable of contributing to economic mobility.

With the global resurgence of #economicnationalism, resource mobilization for #development is in uncharted territory. Beyond aid and traditional development financing, #Africa must prioritize access to global capital markets: https://t.co/YAKSkzsoPN

As successfully done in #India and #Israel, expanding the investor pool beyond conventional sources to include non-traditional sources like #diasporacapital can go a long way in addressing the ever-growing financing needs. Full paper here: https://t.co/Sf7HC9V7wc

It was good to share some thoughts at the #OSC event yesterday. #Industrialpolicy is shaping SME #internationalization. Startups and SMEs must develop the capacity to identify and strategically leverage fiscal incentives. Impressive list of speakers: https://t.co/Fef7vfmka2

Following a decade of economic stagnation, Nigeria has embarked on a comprehensive reform program aimed at more than doubling its GDP to $1 trillion by 2030. Seems like a herculean task, albeit not impossible. My latest paper unpacks this. To be launched on #March8th in New York.
