investment to accelerate growth and development. 1960s and 1970s; quality of the labor force, technological
capabilities of firms and conducive governments policies should be necessary complements to finance

2. PERSPECTIVES AND IMPORTANCE OF DEVELOPMENT FINANCING IN EMERGING ECONOMIES CONT’D
Obvious realities: significant gap exist between the perceived demand for investment
and the availability of domestic resources owing to:
missing and ineffective institutions, low per capita income and hence low savings, limited private capital inflow, competing needs for government budgetary allocations and inability of market forces to allocate needed resources.
Reversing the trend requires appropriate conditions and environment through critical reform measures.
Areas of focus: philosophy, objectives, strategies, institutional policy, legal environment and economic agents

micro financing businesses. The Bank of Ghana-rural credit support through rural banking. The Bank of Sierra Leone-rural banking and rural export credit guarantee

This situation informed the repositioning of the former Agricultural Finance Department of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to Development Finance Department and with wider mandates.
