Regional economic outlook : Sub-Saharan Africa, capital Flows and the future of work, Paperback / softback Book

Regional economic outlook : Sub-Saharan Africa, capital Flows and the future of work Paperback / softback

Part of the World economic and financial surveys series

Paperback / softback

Description

The macroeconomic outlook for sub-Saharan Africa continues to strengthen.

Growth is expected to increase from 2.7 percent in 2017 to 3.1 percent in 2018, reflecting domestic policy adjustments and a supportive external environment, including continued steady growth in the global economy, higher commodity prices, and accommodative external financing conditions.

Inflation is abating; and fiscal imbalances are being contained in many countries.

Over the medium term, and on current policies, growth is expected to accelerate to about 4 percent, too low to create the number of jobs needed to absorb anticipated new entrants into labor markets.
