DEBT RELIEF

ASIA Kyrgyz Republic. In April 2020, Kyrgyz Republic was in negotiations with China Eximbank for debt relief, according to its Deputy Prime Minister Erkin Asrandiyev. In November 2020, China Eximbank offered Kyrgyzstan a deferral deal to postpone $35 million loan repayments to 2022-2024, but apparently required a 2% fee of the deferred amount. It’s also possible that China Eximbank asked

Challenging conventional wisdom, Brautigam’s engaging research shows Chinese farming investments to be surprisingly modest. China actually exports more food to Africa than it imports. Yet African governments are pushing hard for foreign capital and, to feed their own populations, rural Africa must move from subsistence to commercial

agriculture.

POLICY BRIEF 57

AND WORKING PAPER 48 – _INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT LENDING AND GLOBAL VALUE CHAINS IN

AFRICA_

_May 21, 2021_

As the world becomes more and more integrated, participating in global production fragmentation by connecting to global value chains (GVCs) can provide a “golden” opportunity for developing countries to access international markets and boost economies. VITO AMENDOLAGINE analyses the extent to which international development lending can support African countries in trading intermediate goods with foreign partners with the goal of further specializing in high value-added activities within cross-national production networks. Based on his research, it appears that Chinese lending increases the involvement of borrowing countries in the international trade of intermediate goods, while World Bank loans contribute to move African countries toward higher valued added activities along international production chains.

POLICY BRIEF 55

AND WORKING PAPER 46 – _DO CHINESE INFRASTRUCTURE LOANS PROMOTE ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN

AFRICAN COUNTRIES?_

_May 5, 2021_

As Chinese loans to Africa have been on an upward trajectory for more than a decade, there are questions about the economic consequences that large scale borrowing from China has on African economies. JONATHAN MUNEMO investigates the impact these rising loans have on entrepreneurship and finds that African countries with a higher percentage of economic infrastructure loans have greater entrepreneurship in the form of new business startups.

------------------------- INTERACTIVE DATABASE – _CHINESE LOANS COMMITMENTS TO AFRICA_ THE CHINESE LOANS TO AFRICA (CLA) DATABASE IS AN INTERACTIVE DATA PROJECT STARTED BY SAIS-CARI IN 2020. Since 2007, SAIS-CARI researchers have collected, cleaned and analyzed publicly-available data to create a database on Chinese lending to Africa. The data sources include official government documents, contractor websites, fieldwork, interviews, and media sources. Between 2000 and 2019, SAIS-CARI estimated Chinese financiers signed 1,141 loan commitments worth US$153 billion with African governments and their state owned enterprises. The figures are not equivalent to African government debt, as the database does not track disbursement

or repayment.

As of March 29, 2021, the Chinese Loans to Africa Database is managed by the Boston University Global Development Policy Center.
