Regional outlook
- The region's prospects continue to be promising, but global developments pose increased risks to the outlook.
- Risks in 2008 are tilted to the downside, but the region is better placed today to withstand a worsening of the global environment.
Growth projections
- Growth in sub-Saharan Africa should again average about 6½ percent in 2008 with oil exporters leading the way.
- Growth in oil importers is expected to taper off, though only modestly.
Inflation outlook
- With food and energy prices still rising, inflation is projected to average about 8½ percent this year for countries in the region, setting aside Zimbabwe.
