Launch of “FOCUS ON AFRICA” edition, 2022<\/h4>\n

Building resilience in an unpredictable world<\/h5>\n

Economic diversification is key to building sustainable and inclusive growth on the continent<\/strong>
\nGrowth will be moderate in Africa this year, with the continent expecting to see an average GPD growth of 3.9%, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). But economic recovery is extremely different from one place to another. While Rwanda will see a robust growth of 7%, Equatorial Guinea is going back into recession and is expecting a -5.6% in 2022, the world\u2019s worst performance. Mauritius\u2019 economy severely suffered from the Covid-19 pandemic because of its reliance on the flows of foreign tourists. Zambia took a U-turn. In an inspiration move for many African opposition leaders, Zambians elected H.E. Hakainde Hichilema to the Presidency of the country in 2021.<\/p>\n

West African economies proved more resilient than others<\/strong>
\n2021, Nigeria managed to renew with economic growth and even posted a healthy +5.01% growth in Q2 2021. However, recovery was slowed down by decreasing oil production following years of under-investment and under-performance by aging infrastructure. However, levels of pledged foreign investment picked up towards the end of the year. Even as total announced investment fell from $29.9bn in 2019 to $16.7bn in 2020, the pace of commitments picked up over the course of 2020 and remained high in 2021.
\nIn West Africa, 2021 showed the resilience of the region as most markets posted healthy recovery figures despite an unstable global climate. The region is positioning itself as a hub of African growth and hosts some of the continent\u2019s strongest institutions such as the African Development Bank (AfDB) in Abidjan or the new Secretariat of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) in Accra.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][vc_custom_heading text=”In-House Publications: Focus” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=””][vc_basic_grid post_type=”post” max_items=”4″ element_width=”3″ gap=”15″ item=”masonryMedia_SlideWithTitleAndCaption” grid_id=”vc_gid:1721985366086-13a7db17-9bb3-7″ taxonomies=”1″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
