The IAAF World Athletics Championships Doha 2019 is a great stageA for you to challenge the “power and skill” of the world, and it has an important meaning as a prelude to 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games which is quickly approaching. Expand your athletic ability you have gained through competition experiences and years of hard training here in Doha and make a huge step towards the grand stage. Along with your athletic ability, human quality is also very important. Athletics is an individual sport except for relays, but it is necessary to have Team JAPAN awareness. The consciousness of competing as a team will also enhance your human quality, and that rise helps to improve individual competitiveness. For athletes and staff, I ask you to unite by respecting each other, and have the spirit of “One for All, All for One”.

  • Estimating the Economic Impact of the Ebola Epidemic

    Estimating the Economic Impact of the Ebola Epidemic

    Estimating the Economic Impact of the Ebola Epidemic: Evidence from Computable General Equilibrium Models David K. Evans, Francisco Ferreira, Hans Lofgren, Maryla Maliszewska, Mead Over and Marcio Cruz1 October 31, 2014 Abstract: Beyond the terrible toll in human lives and suffering, the Ebola epidemic which affected West Africa continues to have a measurable economic impact on several of the most economically fragile countries in the region. This paper uses two computable general equilibrium models to estimate the impact on West Africa as a whole, as well as specific impacts for the directly affected countries. Two alternative scenarios are used: a “moderate Ebola” scenario corresponding to the actual containment within the three most severely affected countries, and a “High Ebola” scenario corresponding to the damage that a slower containment in the core three countries and broader regional contagion might have brought. The paper discusses the implications for the macroeconomic resilience of the region, the distributional impacts of the epidemic within the most affected countries and the likely effect of the disease outbreak on the already hard task of fighting poverty in this region. JEL Codes: I15, C54, E17 Keywords: Ebola, Infectious Disease, Economic Growth, CGE Modeling 1 Cruz, Evans, Ferreira, Lofgren, and Maliszewska are at the World Bank.

  • R Union Des Ministres Des Finances De La Zone Franc

    R Union Des Ministres Des Finances De La Zone Franc

    Meeting of Franc Zone Finance Ministers Paris – 5 October 2012 Press Release Under the chairmanship of Mr Pierre Moscovici, French Minister for the Economy and Finance, a meeting of the finance ministers, central bank governors and heads of regional institutions of the franc zone was held in Paris on Friday, 5 October 2012. Also in attendance was Mr Pascal Canfin, the French Minister Delegate responsible for Development. Mr Donald Kaberuka, President of the African Development Bank, and Mr Makhtar Diop, World Bank Vice President, likewise took part in the meeting. At the end of the meeting, H.E. Alassane Ouattara, President of the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire, opened a symposium titled “Regards croisés sur 40 ans de Zone franc” (“Diverse perspectives on the franc zone’s 40 years in existence”). The participants discussed the economic situation in the franc zone’s African member states and briefly reviewed the situation in the euro area. After mixed performance in 2011, growth could accelerate in 2012 to 5.5% in the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU), due to the rebond in Côte d’Ivoire. GDP should likewise increase by around 5.8% in the Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa (CEMAC). In the Comoros, the growth rate should improve to 3%. The participants took note of the progress towards macroeconomic policy convergence achieved by the franc zone during 2011 and emphasised the need for further convergence and improvement of economic policies in a global economic environment currently marked by persistent uncertainty. The ministers, central bank governors and heads of regional institutions welcomed the detailed study carried out at their request by FERDI1 on the gains that regional economic integration of the African countries in the franc zone can be expected to deliver.

    African Younth Forum 2014 July 31 2014

    African Younth Forum 2014 July 31 2014 Dear Friends, The World Bank Group-IMF Young African Society (YAS) is excited to welcome you to the 1st African Youth Forum on July 31st, 2014. This year’s theme, “Equipping and Inspiring the next generation for productive Jobs” was inspired by a report published by the World Bank Group in January 2014, on Youth employment in Sub-saharan Africa. The WBG-IMF YAS has decided to organize its first African Youth Forum 2014, to establish a platform where youth can actively participate in discussing, implementing and evaluating the development agenda in Africa. Africa must move beyond commodities led growth to focus on human capital development internally. We believe that inclusive growth will only be achieved by equipping young people with the skills needed for a vibrant economy. The necessary parts to move Africa’s young population forward are education, entrepreneurship and employment, health and good governance among others on the continent. The African Youth Forum 2014 will feature external and internal participants discussing Youth as an important component of the Africa development agenda and specifically addressing the thematic areas as identified by the UN. Our goal is to equip every attendee with new tools to achieve a positive vision for Africa. We invite you to start the process now by registering today and interacting with our online community. Please feel free to contact us to discuss issues pertinent to Africa’s development at: [email protected] We look forward to welcoming
