AEO finds Africa hit by the crisis but set to rebound
|
 |
The 2010 edition of the African Economic Outlook (AEO) will be launched on 24 May.
|
|
The 2010 African Economic Outlook will be launched at the African Development Bank's Annual Meetings in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire on May 24. This year’s edition finds the continent reeling from the effects of the world's deepest and most widespread recession in half a century. Many countries are at risk of falling far off track to achieving the Millennium Development Goal of halving extreme poverty and hunger by 2015. The good news is that the region has proved remarkably resilient to the downturn. Average growth is expected to rebound in 2010 and in 2011, although the recession will leave its mark. The 2010 African Economic Outlook will be uploaded online on May 24.
