How to Finance Green Growth in Ethiopia
Ethiopia has committed to ambitious climate policies aiming to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. Even though the benefits of a low-emission development pathway are higher than its costs, the latter are still very significant. Cumulative green investment and current expenditures of the country’s Long-Term Low-Emission Development Strategy (LT-LEDS) are estimated to be more than USD 300 billion until 2050, which raises the question of how the Gov…
Making the Ethiopian Banking System Ready for Green Growth and Development
After two decades of high economic growth and fast development progress, Ethiopia is facing significant macroeconomic challenges such as high inflation, foreign exchange shortage, and slowing growth. At the same time, it is imperative to bring the economy on a green and climate-resilient development path. In this context, the financial sector has an essential role to play. International financial institutions recommend reducing the fiscal deficit…
Moving Forward When There Are No Dollars
The dominant approach of international organizations and financial institutions to development finance focuses on incentivizing and mobilizing private capital to achieve the international community's goals in terms of economic, social and environmental development while the public sector's financial capacity is supposedly restricted. Yet, this approach dismisses the nature of money as being endogenous, which implies that domestic banking systems …
Post-growth transition, working time reduction, and the question of profits
The ecological macroeconomics literature has developed models, which outline the transition from today's growth-dependent economies to post-growth systems where output can be stabilized to limit resource consumption while good living conditions and high employment are ensured. Working time reduction plays a pivotal role in those transitional strategies to relax the trade-off between economic growth and unemployment. This analysis contributes to t…
Green Growth and the Balance-of-payments Constraint
The notion of green growth emphasizes environmental and climate policies that make economic activities more sustainable while contributing to higher growth. In developing countries, the ability of such policies to help solve the most pressing economic challenges is essential for green growth to be a viable concept. Notably, current account deficits, foreign exchange shortage and external debt accumulation are serious obstacles to economic develop…
