Q: The International Monetary Fund’s (IMF’s) recently published World Economic Outlook predicts slower global growth in 2023 and the lowest medium-term growth in decades. What is the outlook for sub-Saharan Africa?
A: While growth is holding steady across much of sub-Saharan Africa, the poor outlook in South Africa [where growth is forecast to slow to just 0.1%] means that growth for the region will decelerate to 3.6% in 2023 from 3.9% last year.
