United Nations Resident Coordinator and United Nations Development Program (UNDP) Representative in Tanzania Alberic Kacou said the global economy is still running on a bumpy road while the emerging economies are also showing signs of stress.
In his opening remarks at the launch of the African Economic Outlook 2013 report today in Dar es Salaam, Kacou said that the report comes at a time when the global economy is still struggling to come to terms with shocks and their spillover effects.
“The euro zone in particular is grappling with slow recovery, emerging economies such as India and China, the drivers of the global economy for quite some time now, are also showing signs of stress,”
“These course could have adverse implications on Africa, if the global economy recovery remains slow. It is in this background that the report assesses the economic outlook for Africa,” he said.
According to the report, Africa’s economy is projected to grow by 4.8 percent in 2013 and 5.3 per cent in 2014 while Tanzania has recorded an impressive performance in economic front, the report explained further.
He underscored that the Tanzanian economy is growing well above the regional averages, financial flows to the region, including Foreign Direct invest (FDI) and remittances are at a high record.
Kacou said that the report estimates FDI to exceed to USD 200 billion, the newly found natural resources seem to continue to attract increasing levels of foreign direct investments.
He said that the report pointed out that the natural resources endowments in Africa should provide a window of opportunity to transform the region from a low productive agriculture based economy to a diversified and productive resources based economy.
