Grants & development aid make up significant fraction of GDP in smaller African economies. For more substantial economies they are small share -> other modes of finance are key which is what makes the current debt crises so worrying.

Yes, China's lending to Africa did surge in 2010s, but bigger story is opening up of private credit channels which now exposes Africa to full force of the dollar credit cycle. h/t to @David_McNair for this data.

@OYCar @hannahforsyth How did Bill R allocate China's population I wonder? He is a very smart guy. he will have figured that out. it would seem that majority of world's population experience seasons very mildly but broadly speaking more according to Northern rhythm than southern. Ill settle for that.

@hmryder @EmergingRoy @David_McNair @davidpilling @_miller_mark @DWteVelde @aprizzon @DevReimagined No it explicitly doesnt. As the piece ends by saying … the amount of financing should be defined by Africa's population. 2.5 billion people by 2050 are going to need a LOT of capital.

@hmryder @EmergingRoy @David_McNair @davidpilling @_miller_mark @DWteVelde @aprizzon @DevReimagined Hi Hannah, Im puzzled I actually agree with much of what you say here and have read this and other material from you. I would say that we are coming at this from different angles but by no means at odds.

@David_McNair @GayleSmith @Tom_at_ONE @LHSummers @ONECampaign @Noahpinion @davidmcw @CarnegieEndow @MssZeeUsman Thank you David. You are too kind.

When you hear that Ghana is negotiating a debt restructuring and in talks with IMF you could shrug & say: "well thats 17th time since independence". Or you could wise up & harken to Schumpeter's "thunder of world history". Chartbook Newsletter #181 adamtooze.substack.com/p/finance-and-… https://t.co/xcSYBXlhtt

@hannahforsyth Fair point. But talking globally, 87 percent of humanity lives in the Northern hemisphere (yes I did have to look that up). So I dont feel too bad about my usage tbh. For the vast, vast majority of us, summer was 6 months ago.
