Webinar 3: Addressing Gender Inequalities through Fiscal Law Design
March 22, 2023 AT 13:00 AM GMT
The Legal Department at IMF recently published Fiscal Law Design Considerations in Addressing Gender Inequalities: COVID 19 and Beyond. In response to the pandemic crisis, several countries embraced tax and spending policies that affected gender equality. The note examines the legal issues that emerge when countries design fiscal and tax measures to address gender inequality. Legislation can render these initiatives permanent, and the note helpfully explores key elements of effective legal design. How to make effective temporary policies endure beyond the fiscal year is a perennial challenge for government officials and policymakers. This peer-to-peer webinar presents a survey of the issues, a case study, and a round table discussion, in order to provide participants with an understanding of the key concepts relevant to addressing gender inequalities, the legal options available and key considerations when seeking to codify approaches and policies into the formal budget process and tax law. The webinar will also give an overview of the broader work of the IMF’s Legal Department on legal impediments to women’s economic empowerment. Click here to view documents
Webinar 2: A Single Currency for the Economic Community of West Africa
February 28, 2023 AT 11:00 AM GMT
This paper assesses the economic support for the creation of an Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) monetary union encompassing all its 15 members, an objective that was set more than 30 years ago. In line with previous empirical research, our conclusion is that the adoption of a common currency by the whole region is not recommended. This work takes a step forward and assesses alternative ways to reduce the current number of currencies in circulation in the Community. Based on our results, we suggest (i) the merging of the currencies of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone into a single currency and (ii) the Gambia to join the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU).
