17/06/2007 | Africa expected to achieve 6.2% growth in 2007

Agencias

Africa's continent-wide economy will grow faster this year, but structural changes are still needed if it is to catch up with the rest of the world, according to a report from the World Economic Forum (WEF), currently holding its meeting on Africa in Cape Town.

 

The continent is expected to achieve economic growth of 6.2 per cent in 2007, an expansion on last year's 5.5 per cent expansion, said the report.  
Despite this growth, the study said Africa was still being held back by factors such as poor infrastructure while corruption and poor access to finance were other concerns.  
The Africa Competitiveness Report further said that much of the continent's current growth was being fuelled by external factors such as high commodity prices, debt relief and an upbeat international economic environment. "Truly sustainable growth, however, must be based on solid domestic foundations rather than a cyclical or exogenous circumstances," said the study, which was compiled in association with the World Bank and African Development Bank.   "The African macro-economic environment is looking better and better," said WEF senior economist Jennifer Blanke. "While there have been improvements, the problem is that the rest of the world is moving faster." The United Nations estimates that Africa's economy needs to grow seven per cent per year in order to halve poverty rates by 2015, one of the key Millennium Development Goals.
