African Economic Outlook 2007/2008 - Oecd Publishing

. .

Résumé :
The African Economic Outlook combines the knowledge of the African Development Bank with the expertise of the OECD -- which produces the OECD Economic Outlook twice a year. The objective is to review annually the recent economic situation and the short-term likely evolutions of selected African countries. The Outlook is drawn from a country-by-country analysis based on a unique analytical design. This common framework includes a forecasting exercise for the current and two following years using a simple macroeconomic model, together with an analysis of the social and political context. It also contains a comparative synthesis of African country prospects, placing the evolution of African economies in the world economic context. This edition includes a special focus on technical and vocational skills development. A statistical annex completes the volume. This volume will be of significant interest to decision makers in African and OECD countries, both in the public and private sectors, such as aid agencies, investors, and government officials of aid-recipient countries. The African Economic Outlook is a joint project of the African Development Bank and the OECD Development Centre, with generous support from the European Commission.
