Dear Colleague,
I'll get straight to the point.
Thank you for your interest, readership, trust and engagement this past year. F&D, in all its manifestations—print, online, events, podcasts, videos—and of course, this newsletter, have come a long way. In fact, we now have 65,000 of the world's leading thinkers and doers signed up to these weekly updates. So, thank you again for your time.
Now, without further ado, here's a look back at our most-read pieces of 2019:
As a bonus, I also wanted to mention a couple of pieces that, despite being published in 2018, rivaled the readership of our 2019 content—so much so they couldn't be ignored:
What other articles this year did you find most interesting and valuable to your work? Alternatively, what should we cover more of in 2020? Drop me a line at rkanani@imf.org.
Finally, as you will likely receive many more newsletters looking back on 2019, I'll give you (and me) a break next week. And in that vein, I hope you have a joyful holiday season. I'll get back in touch next year!
Happy Holidays,
P.S. Specialized newsletters on climate, corruption, trade, inequality, fintech and other key issues are coming next spring. Is your profile below accurate? Please do keep it current going into 2020.

Sub-Saharan Africa has made significant inroads in reducing poverty and increasing access to education and health services, but the infrastructure deficit still looms large throughout the region. For many countries, the ability to finance their development needs has become more constrained as public debt has increased rapidly in recent years. In this podcast, Abebe Aemro Selassie says when governments invest in the right types of infrastructure, people are more willing to pay the taxes the government needs to service its debt. Selassie is Director of the IMF's African Department, which has helped organize a special conference in Dakar, Senegal, this week to discuss how countries can continue to address the infrastructure gap while maintaining manageable debt levels.
