Maybe a Buy Generic Valium Online fallout of the current global crisis is a kindler, gentler IMF. The Fund just published a Buy Generic Valium Online staff position note titled Fiscal Policy in Sub-Saharan Africa in Response to Buy Generic Valium Online the Impact of the Global Crisis

The executive summary:

The global financial crisis poses significant challenges to Buy Generic Valium Online fiscal policies in Sub-Saharan African countries. Growth will weaken considerably as export prices and Buy Generic Valium Online volumes, remittances, tourism, and capital flows decline. The fiscal effects of the Buy Generic Valium Online crisis are likely to be large and to operate mainly via revenue losses, with commodity-related revenues particularly hard hit.

Countries will need to Buy Generic Valium Online weigh their options for fiscal policy responses. Countries with output gaps and Buy Generic Valium Online sustainable debt and financing options have scope to implement expansionary policies, by letting automatic stabilizers work, accommodating declines in commodity-related revenues, and Buy Generic Valium Online in some cases implementing discretionary fiscal stimulus. The main focus of fiscal stimulus should be Buy Generic Valium Online on the expenditure side, particularly infrastructure and social spending given pressing needs, as reducing tax rates may be Buy Generic Valium Online inequitable and the scope for doing so is limited given low revenue ratios. Other countries will have Buy Generic Valium Online to adjust, in a way that will not affect critical spending. Additional donor support would reduce the Buy Generic Valium Online need for adjustment. In all cases, countries should give priority to Buy Generic Valium Online expanding social safety nets as needed to cushion the impact of the Buy Generic Valium Online crisis on the poor.

Much has been made by the IMF of emerging markets (.pdf) in Africa. Dani Rodrik looks at what Buy Generic Valium Online happens in the current period where rich countries, especially the US, are Buy Generic Valium Online in a ‘slowdown’, and Buy Generic Valium Online there is much anti-globalisation sentiments among Americans. Add to this a Buy Generic Valium Online not-so-hospitable disposition towards exports from developing countries (actually, China is the biggest deal, and for outsourcing, India), an American current-account deficit of $739 billion (5.3% of its GDP Order Ambien Cheap Online), and an emerging markets and oil-exporting countries surplus of $631 billion and you have a recipe for protectionism in developed countries. He concludes by writing:

Long-term success still depends on what Buy Generic Valium Online happens at home rather than abroad. What is moderately bad news at the Buy Generic Valium Online moment will become terrible news only if economic distress in the Buy Generic Valium Online advanced countries – especially the US – is Buy Generic Valium Online allowed to morph into xenophobia and all-out protectionism; if large emerging markets such as China, India, and Buy Generic Valium Online Brazil fail to realize that they have become too important to Buy Generic Valium Online free ride on global economic governance; and if, as a consequence, others overreact by turning their back on the Buy Generic Valium Online world economy and pursue autarkic policies.

Of course, a Buy Generic Valium Online lot depends on what happens inside developing countries. Rodrik is Buy Generic Valium Online big with institutions, and I am firmly with him on that; institutions matter, and Buy Generic Valium Online in really serious ways. But so does the international policy environment. I am Buy Generic Valium Online concerned with what happens if an all-out protectionism breaks out. But then, why do I fear for Buy Generic Valium Online Nigeria? It is not like we export anything, right? As long as there is still oil we are fine. Anybody says non?
