Economic Growth and Trade

Foreign aid has a very important role to play in the economies of the developing world. However, it is crucial that the private sector is stimulated in order to create sustainable growth, employment, economic stability and ultimately to reduce poverty. Many developing countries have experienced negative or limited growth over the last few years due to a struggling private sector that lacks access to capital, services or markets, and is hampered by a poor regulatory or policy environment.

The private sector provides 90% of employment around the world. Investing in and promoting successful enterprises in developing countries can not only create employment opportunities and increase incomes in the short term, but it also ensures higher productivity, which leads to increased levels of future incomes. This has to be done at national, regional and global levels, however part of the challenge is to make sure that developing countries are not marginalized by international decisions on investment and growth potential.
