Importance of growth. Grow the pie.
What could have been…
Over last 10 years if:
- growth had been 1% higher per annum
- generated a plausible increase in tax revenues…
the combined effect of a larger economy & less borrowing would be thatgovt debt
= 44% of GDP & falling instead of the 63% of GDP & rising.
True of the past decade & true of the next one.
Growth should be 1st order priority.

Apparently exports matter, a lot
Policy makers talk a lot about exports. As if its some amazing thing.
Without exports, the world will be a worse place.
And economists have helped to push that line.
There is a lot to like from companies that export.
• Tend to be bigger.
• They tend to pay higher wages.
• They do more R&D.
• They innovate.
• Tend to be more productive.

• Exports dropped 61%.

Future globalisation will be very different from today’s and the past.
Raise your anxiety.
Raise your excitement.

• More about the things that we do (services trade).
• Not only about things that we make (products trade).

How to get African products to global markets?
Found an NGO, Aid to Artisans. aidtoartisans.org
Help craft industries to find a path into a high income markets.
Modus operandi is to find 1 middle man, who can export on behalf of.
Sponsor 1 visit for middle man to market (showcase products @ fairs).
Went to the New York Gift Fair, handmade products showroom.
Aid to Artisans used some of their space to advertise the rugs.
Took time for the middle to generate interest in Egyptian rugs.
Egyptian rugs more expensive vs Indian & Nepal rugs.
Market is very price sensitive.
After 1 year - able to generate interest from buyers in US & Germany.
Once middle man had the orders he needed to produce the rugs.
