In today’s edition of the Weekend Read, we explore how data and statistics can drive more effective policymaking and examine policies for reinforcing growth across G20 economies. We look at Europe’s opportunity to capture the AI-driven growth dividend and assess sub-Saharan Africa’s steady growth amid fiscal challenges. We also revisit The Talent Equation from the F&D archives and spotlight our Chart of the Week on the surging global demand for gold.

Excellent roundup! Leveraging data and statistics is essential for informed policymaking, while strong governance, risk management, and strategic reforms can help countries across regions capture growth opportunities and navigate fiscal challenges.
Whilst I do not underestimate data helping in global development,it is very stringent needed assistance should be given to developing countries so as to gather accurate data to foster development but not put them in shelves which would not inure to their benefit.Developed countries should positively help developing countries implement data gathered to help in tailoring development to reduce the burden placed on them that is developed countries to relieve them of economic distress posed to them by developing countries.
