- Despite a subdued recovery in the global economy, growth in Sub Saharan Africa has remained robust. Regional growth in 2012 is estimated at 4.4%, however, excluding the regions largest economy, South Africa growth came in at 5.4%;

Indeed, where political instability, severe labor unrests and exogeneos weather shocks disrupted economic activity economic growth was below par.

- Much of the robust growth came from robust domestic demand, including increased private and public investments and resilient consumer spending. For instance, foreign direct investment flows to the region in 2013 are expected to reach $40 billion, up from $32bn in 2012.These investments have supported an expansion in the productive capacity in the mining sector, thanks to high commodity prices.

- However, not all the non-resource sector is also attracting investment flows, particularly the service sector. Indeed in recent years service sub sectors such as telecommunications, transportation, construction, finance and banking have been the fastest growing sectors in several economies in the region.

- A deceleration in the pace of inflation supported by better weather conditions and earlier monetary tightening measures have supported household spending in the region. Household spending also benefitted from increased remittance flows. In 2013 remittances are expected to rise by an $1 billion.
- Against the backdrop of robust domestic demand and a projected strengthening of global demand, real GDP growth in the region is expected to average about 5.2 percent over the 2013-2015 period. Excluding, South Africa, GDP growth will average about 6.2 percent.

- Nonetheless, significant downside risks remain. These includeWeaker growth in the global economy. For instance if the projected recovery for high-income countries, embedded in our forecasts does not materialize this will reduce growth prospects in the region. Further if the recent decline in commodity prices intensifies then growth could be derailed, particulary among oil and metal exporters. However, other oil importers in the region will benefit.Increasingly domestic risks are important, these include over heating …….
