The African Development Bank has projected a growth rate of 5.3% next year, from 4.8% in 2013. This growth, the bank says in its latest economic outlook, confirms Africa’s ‘healthy resilience to internal and external shocks and its role as a growth pole in a distressed global economy’.
The robust economic growth, expanding market size and various reforms have improved the attractiveness of the continent to investors; foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows increased by 5% to US$50-billion in 2012, even as global numbers fell, according to the 2013 World Investment Outlook.
