From Learning English, this is the Economics Report.
Last week, we reported that international economists released a hopeful report about Africas economy. The African Development Bank, the United Nations Development Program and the OECD Development Center wrote the report.
It says economic growth on the continent is expected to increase by as much as 5 or 6 percent over the next two years. That would be the continents highest growth rate since the worldwide economic recession in . Economic experts say governments have established policies that are inviting to foreign investors. The report says that will fuel the expected growth.
Ethiopia grew at a rate of almost 10 percent, the highest in East Africa. Economists believe Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda will have growth rates of between 6.5 percent and 7.5 percent from agriculture, industry and services. Kenyas financial services and communication technology industries are expected to drive a growth rate of 6 percent.
Economists expect 7 percent growth in West Africas economy in the next two years. They say oil continues to be a major source of income, but that other industries are also important. Growth in Nigeria is coming from agriculture, trade and information and communications technology. Manufacturing is helping Ghana grow. Sierra Leone is the fastest growing country in the area because of its iron ore exports, as well as its agriculture and building industries.
