A report on development economics in action, by a crucial player in
Nigeria's recent reforms. Corrupt, mismanaged, and seemingly
hopeless: that's how the international community viewed Nigeria in
the early 2000s. Then Nigeria implemented a sweeping set of
economic and political changes and began to reform the
unreformable. This book tells the story of how a dedicated and
politically committed team of reformers set out to fix a series of
broken institutions, and in the process repositioned Nigeria's
economy in ways that helped create a more diversified springboard
for steadier long-term growth. The author, Harvard- and MIT-trained
economist Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, currently Nigeria's Coordinating
Minister for the Economy and Minister of Finance and formerly
Managing Director of the World Bank, played a crucial part in her
country's economic reforms. In Nigeria's Debt Management Office,
and later as Minister of Finance, she spearheaded negotiations with
the Paris Club that led to the wiping out of $30 billion of
Nigeria's external debt, 60 percent of which was outright
cancellation. Reforming the Unreformable offers an insider's view
of those debt negotiations; it also details the fight against
corruption and the struggle to implement a series of macroeconomic
and structural reforms. This story of development economics in
action, written from the front lines of economic reform in Africa,
offers a unique perspective on the complex and uncertain global
economic environment.
