In September this year, Quantum Global group Advisory Board member Célestin
Monga co-authored, The Oxford Handbook of Africa and Economics (published by
Oxford University Press) in partnership with Justin Yifu Lin of the National
School of Development at Peking University.
The publication also featured contributions from academic luminaries including
Nobel laureates Joseph Stiglitz (Columbia University) and Roger Myerson
(University of Chicago), and prominent economists such as Jeffrey Sachs
(Columbia University), Paul Collier (University of Oxford), Ha-joon Chang
(University of Cambridge), Kaushik Basu (World Bank), Francois Bourguignon
(Paris School of Economics), Ernest Aryeetey (University of Ghana), Mustapha
Nabli (former Central Bank Governor of Tunisia) and Julia Cagé (Sciences-Po,
Paris).
Launched in Vienna on December 1 during the 2015 UNIDO General Conference and
deploying significant portions of research supported by Quantum Global group
Founder, Mr Jean-Claude Bastos de Morais, the Handbook represents a stellar
piece of distinguished academic analysis exploring a raft of economic and socio-
political underpinnings of Africa's growing global significance.
Mr Monga, a former Senior Economic Advisor and Director at the World Bank,
joined the United Nations Industrial Development Organization as Managing
Director in January 2015. A long standing pro-bono Advisory Board member at the
Quantum Global group and a Cameroonian national, he is recognized as one of the
world's foremost thinkers on African economics and socio-economic dynamics.
In the wake of that undertaking, Quantum Global group has recently collaborated
with the prominent UK based think tank the Official Monetary and Financial
Institutions Forum (OMFIF) - an independent platform for dialogue and research
in global finance and economics - to produce a further far reaching
publication The Convergence of Nations due to be launched at a ceremony in
London on December 10(th).
This new publication - edited by Quantum Global group Founder Mr Jean-Claude
Bastos de Morais - brings together the work of 31 of the world's foremost
authorities on global and regional economics whose individually authored
chapters address topics essential to sustainable African economic growth and the
future role of Africa's sovereigns in the global economy.
Seeking to identify the essential strands of the emergent African capitalist
model, the publication also hones in and examines the key challenges facing fast
growing African states including corruption, disease and terrorist conflicts. It
also addresses the potential offered by the so-called 'demographic dividend'
offered by Africa's young, dynamic and increasingly well-educated population as
well as analysing the rapidly improving levels of transparency, governance and
representative politics.
In the foreword, Akinwumi Adesina, president of the African Development Bank,
writes:
'As always, Africa must aim high. This time we can and we will achieve our aims.
This expertly written book will heighten international understanding of and
interest in our continent. This is a compellingly realistic summary of all the
big themes affecting Africa's future, and I warmly commend it.'
The Quantum Global group and its Founder, Jean-Claude Bastos de Morais, is fully
committed to coupling the group's investment activities with a suite of
carefully targeted projects and strategic platforms designed to bolster
constructive African dialogue and support the growth and development of African
society, economics and civic society.
