Abstract

This book is based on a high-level seminar that took place in Algiers on November 4th and 5th, 2010, under the title, “Natural Resources, Finance, and Development: Confronting Old and New Challenges.” The seminar, organized by the Central Bank of Algeria and the IMF Institute, was aimed chiefly at policymakers in sub-Saharan Africa, and brought together a number of ministers, central bank governors, other senior policymakers, and well-known academics.
