Abstract

What is striking about the discussion at this seminar is the very broad acceptance of the need to go through adjustment. There are clear concerns, however, on the need for both short-term results that can sustain adjustment politically and long-term results that deliver on the sort of reductions in poverty that we are all looking for. And this need raises issues of implementation and supply response.
