dc.description.abstract | The focus of this Country Economic Memorandum (CEM) is to review key policy and reform options for Equatorial Guinea to build the foundations for renewed, diversified, and more inclusive growth. The CEM thus aims to contribute to the government’s economic development and diversification agendas. The first chapter of the report examines the drivers of past growth, and the country’s asset portfolio, and discusses possible long-term growth trajectories. The second chapter examines fiscal policy as the main instrument for efficient transformation of natural capital into physical and human capital, and outlines the fiscal challenges associated with the reliance on the volatile oil and gas markets. It identifies the key gaps in public financial management, including the challenges posed by climate change and provides reform options for implementing an effective fiscal policy. The third chapter explores the present state of education, health, and social protection and discusses priority options to boost human capital. The fourth chapter then turns to the private sector and the main cross-cutting issues that need to be addressed to encourage higher investment, innovation, and productivity. The final chapter drills down into some key sectors which are likely to play a prominent role in any new growth strategy. These include digitalization in both the public and private sectors, and integration into the world economy through trade and ecotourism. | en |
dc.description.abstract | El enfoque de este Memorando Económico de PaÃs (CEM) es revisar opciones clave de polÃtica y reforma a fin de que Guinea Ecuatorial siente las bases para un crecimiento renovado, diversificado y más inclusivo. De este modo, el CEM busca contribuir a las agendas de desarrollo y diversificación económica del gobierno. El primero capÃtulo del CEM examina los impulsores del crecimiento pasado y la cartera de activos del paÃs, y analiza posibles trayectorias de crecimiento a largo plazo. El segundo capÃtulo examina la polÃtica fiscal como el principal instrumento para la transformación eficiente del capital natural en capital fÃsico y humano, y describe los desafÃos fiscales asociados con la dependencia de los volátiles mercados de petróleo y gas. Identifica las brechas clave en la gestión de las finanzas públicas, incluidos los desafÃos que plantea el cambio climático, y proporciona opciones de reforma para implementar una polÃtica fiscal eficaz. El tercer capÃtulo explora el estado actual de la educación, la salud y la protección social, y analiza opciones prioritarias para impulsar el capital humano. El cuarto capÃtulo posteriormente se vuelca en el sector privado y las principales cuestiones transversales que deben abordarse para fomentar una mayor inversión, innovación y productividad. El capÃtulo final profundiza en algunos sectores clave que probablemente desempeñarán un papel destacado en cualquier estrategia nueva de crecimiento. Estos incluyen la digitalización tanto en el sector público como el privado, y la integración a la economÃa mundial a través del comercio y el ecoturismo. | es |
