The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of public debt on private investment in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). To this end, we proceed with the econometric estimation of the data for a panel of 43 SSA countries over the period 2000-2018. All of this data comes from the World Bank (IDS, WDI, WGI) and the IMF (WEO). In order to achieve robust results, three estimation methods are used: the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method, the Ordinary Doubles Least Squares (ODLS) method and the Quantile regression method. All other things being equal, the results show that public debt reduces private investment because of credit rationing and higher taxes to honor debt services. However, we find that the debt from China is positively correlated with private investment. Therefore, to reconcile public debt and private investment, SSA countries need to implement appropriate policies that will ensure that public debt is used optimally to further stimulate private investment. Indeed, SSA countries must encourage and monitor the channeling of financial resources to productive activities likely to strengthen private investment.
