Description

Growth remained strong in the region in 2012, with regional GDP rates increasing in most countries (excluding Nigeria and South Africa).

Projections point to a moderate, broad-based acceleration in growth to around 51/2 percent in 201314, reflecting a gradually strengthening global economy and robust domestic demand.

Investment in export-oriented sectors remains an important economic driver, and an agriculture rebound in drought-affected areas will also help growth.

Uncertainties in the global economy are the main risk to the region's outlook, but plausible adverse shocks would likely not have a large effect on the region's overall performance
