【 摘 要 】

Economic growth in Sub-Saharan Africa isprojected to recover to 2.6 percent in 2017, following amarked deceleration in 2016. The upturn in economic activityis expected to continue in 2018-19, reflecting improvementsin commodity prices, a pickup in global growth, and moresupportive domestic conditions. The pace of the recoveryremains weak, however, as the region's three largesteconomies – Angola, Nigeria, and South Africa – areprojected to post only a modest rebound in growth followinga sharp slowdown in 2016. Investment growth will recoveronly gradually, amid tight foreign exchange liquidityconditions in major oil exporters and low investorconfidence in South Africa. Growth will be limited inseveral metals exporters, as well as in oil exporters in theCentral African Economic and Monetary Community, as thesecountries embark on fiscal adjustment to stabilize theireconomies. Among non-resource intensive countries, such asEthiopia, Senegal, and Tanzania, growth is expected toremain generally solid, supported by domestic demand.
