Economic growth in Sub-Saharan Africa slowed significantly in 2016—with average growth rates the lowest in two decades—in large part due to low commodity prices, a sluggish global economy, climate shocks, and insecurity. The IMF’s Regional Economic Outlook for Sub-Saharan Africa (http://www.imf.org/en/Publications/REO/SSA/Issues/2017/05/03/sreo0517?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=b0e3e96ef4-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_06_12&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-b0e3e96ef4-145367789) examines the prospects for an economic rebound in 2017 with a particular focus on fiscal policy adjustments, debt management, and investments in human capital development and diversification. The report also takes an in-depth look at informal economies in Africa and policy priorities in managing both challenges and opportunities. Join us for a discussion with Abebe Aemro Selassie, Director of the IMF's African Department, on how best to support and harness Sub-Saharan Africa’s tremendous potential for economic growth.
