Listen "Sub-Saharan Africa Outlook: New Shock, Little Room to Maneuver"
Episode Synopsis
The economic recovery in sub-Saharan Africa surprised on the upside in the second half of 2021, but that progress has been jeopardized this year by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The war has triggered a global economic shock that is hitting the region at a time when countries' ability to respond is minimal to nonexistent. Papa N'Diaye leads the team that produces the Regional Economic Outlook for sub-Saharan Africa. In this podcast, he says growth has slowed once again and will not be enough to make up for lost ground. Transcript: https://bit.ly/3OIo6N8 Read the report at IMF.org
