520 _aThe paper analyzes the impact of economic growth on the monetary poverty of nine Middle East and North African countries (Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Egypt, Iran, Turkey, Jordan, Mauritania, and Yemen) between 1990 and 2004. To characterize the nature of growth in these countries and to formulate suitable policies and strategies to pave the way for poverty reduction, we have built indicators of growth and pro-poor policies of Kakwani and Pernia (2000) and Kakwani (1993, 2001). The empirical results show that the point estimates of these indicators are not very precise. The confidence intervals do not make it possible to clearly specify the nature of the growth, in particular in the case of Yemen, Morocco and Egypt. Furthermore, for Tunisia, Iran and Turkey, the 95% confidence interval for IGIT is [2, 4.6], which suggests it is difficult to recommend appropriate pro-poor strategies.
