To discuss this, Financial Afrik had an exclusive interview with Amadou Sy, Director of Studies in the IMF’s Africa Department. The economist discusses, among other things, the available policy tools for public decision-makers, and possible ways to promote inclusive and sustainable growth on the continent.
