Can African Countries learn from the Chinese Development Model?

Delivering sustainable economic growth
Aug 31, 2019 | Policy Center for the New South, Ihssane Guennoun

The opening of China’s economy some forty years ago has contributed to global economic growth – from a 2.3 percent share of the world’s GDP in 1980, to 18 percent in 2018. Its internal growth lifted 439 million from poverty between 1990 and 2011. Also, China undertook significant political and economic reforms, and developed an inclusive domestic growth-generating model. In this paper by the Policy Center for the New South, Ihssane Guennoun draws lessons from the Chinese development path to see if some could be adapted to advance the development of the African countries.
