Isaac Abotebuno Akolgo is a post-doctoral researcher at Bard College Berlin and the Africa Multiple Cluster of Excellence, University of Bayreuth. His current research focuses on money, finance, and the political economy of development in Africa. Drawing from a variety of Economics perspectives, his work contributes to longstanding and recent debates on development finance. Of particular interest is the analysis of: (1) the ownership and operations of banks and Fintechs; (2) sovereign debt accumulation and debt crises; and (3) the distributive effects of monetary policy. By sifting through the complexity of money and finance, he aims to contribute to policy discourse on the sustainable path to African economic transformation.
