Abstract

Many of the poorest countries on Earth are in the throes of a double bonanza of high prices for their natural resource exports coupled with new discoveries. Over the next decade, the potential financial flows from resource exports will dwarf aid, remittances, and foreign direct investment (FDI), providing an unprecedented opportunity for development.
