African Governments to Assert Greater Control Over Mining Industries
Several African governments have declared their intention to assert greater control over private sector mining operations and transfer the revenue to weaker areas of their economies. Africa’s new “developmental states” are moving from regulating the mining industry to more direct involvement.
The so-called “Addis Ababa Declaration” approved at a conference of African mining ministers would effectively change the government’s role from regulator to director of the mining industry. Roughly half of Africa’s 54 countries were represented at the conference, including seven at the ministerial level.
The declaration expresses concern at Africa’s poverty and underdevelopment. It lays out a vision of developmental states that “integrate the mining sector into broader social and economic developmental processes to maximize the benefits” from exploiting mineral resources.
Wikipedia defines the “developmental state” as the phenomenon of state-led macroeconomic planning in which governments take more control of the economy.
Antonio Pedro of the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa was among the drafters the declaration. He says the Africa Mining Vision signals a shift in the way governments view their relationship with the mining industry.
“We are moving from a period where each government in Africa was trying to have the best possible fiscal regimes and incentives to attract investment, to a period where governments are trying to ensure that mineral resources can contribute to broad based development,” said Pedro.
