A Financial Economist, Professor Joshua Yindenaba Abor has called on African Governments to implement early and ambitious policy responses and reforms in their financial systems to minimise the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“COVID-19 is here to stay and if it is staying, its impact will be with us and the pressure is on to address the ongoing issues in addition to dealing with the existing challenges”
”There is the need to implement early and ambitious policy responses and reforms in the financial system to address the situation or minimise the impact”, he said.
He said though African Governments have provided some monetary and fiscal policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, there is the need for other policy actions to ensure that the continent’s financial systems are able to spur growth in the post COVID-19 era.
