In many developing countries, customs efficiency is hampered by widespread corruption. This creates a major disincentive and obstacle to trade expansion. It also leads to disastrous consequences in terms of national security and public finance. This OECD Development Centre Working Paper from 2001 examines the nature of customs corruption and suggests some practical paths to integrity.

Crony capitalism and self-fulfilling expectations by international creditors are often suggested as two rival explanations for currency crisis. This paper examines a possible linkage between the two that has so far not been explored: corruption may affect a country’s composition of capital inflows in a way that makes it more likely to experience a currency crisis that is triggered/aided by international investors’ self-fulfilling expectations.

Until now, available data on privatisation in Sub-Saharan Africa has been, at best, sketchy and, at worst, non-existent. This book is an important step in bridging the gap by drawing together analysis on the conditions of both successful and failed projects throughout the region. It charts progress, outlines the privatisation methods used, then questions whether the objectives have been achieved using case studies to highlight certain projects. Finally, it takes a closer look at the impact privatisation has had on alleviating poverty in terms of the fiscal, pricing and employment implications.
