11. The discussions focused on the factors that explain the low level of savings in Africa and the measures that need to be put in place to address the problem. The delegates noted that mobilizing domestic savings is only one part of the equation, since it is important to ensure that mobilized resources are efficiently channelled to the most productive sectors. In addition to the weak financial sector and poor incentives, it was noted that low domestic savings are largely due to the low levels of income and poverty in many countries. It was suggested that countries focus on broad-based growth and promote economic diversification in order to break out of this vicious circle of low incomes and savings.
