DIASPORAN BONDS- A sure way to resuscitate weak economies.
By HENRY KOFI BOSOMPEM
Developing countries have depended on traditional ways of generating financial resources for their development. These included domestic public finance, control of public expenditure and international public finance. In spite of these, the infrastructural gap is widening and Africa needs $95 billion annually. Diaspora bonds has emerged as on one of the surest way of mobilising resources to finance Africas development. The artefacts I have used is to drum home to emigrants to remember their roots, to help their home countries through their remittances and to patronise bonds.
