Complementary and flanking policies

Chapters 4–6 have examined competition, intellectual property and digitalization as linked to investment and the surrounding policy nexus. The report has also reviewed interlinkages with other relevant sectors: the trade, fiscal and private sectors. The policy nexus deserves special attention since it can complement positive interlinkages and prompt virtuous cycles with the other sectors to enhance and bolster development in Africa. This chapter takes a closer look at some complementary and flanking policy measures.
