Africa’s Response To Falling Commodity Prices in the context of the Africa Mining Vision

This publication explores Africa's response to falling commodity prices within the framework of the Africa Mining Vision (AMV). It highlights the significance of the AMV in buffering African economies from the volatility of commodity price booms and busts by promoting inclusive, value-added economic activities. The publication addresses the issue of illicit financial flows (IFFs) from the extractives sector, which further hinders African economies' transformation. It emphasizes the need for sober reflections and structural changes to diversify economies and pursue alternative economic activities. The collaboration between the African Minerals Development Centre (AMDC) and Tax Justice Network - Africa (TJN-A) in hosting this colloquium signifies the importance of addressing these challenges.
