African Economic Outlook 2010 focuses on public resource mobilisation and aid in Africa, presenting a comprehensive review of best practices in tax administration, policies and multilateral agreements, including recommendations for meeting future challenges. The role that aid should play to help African countries mobilise their public resources to meet their development goals is also discussed. The original dataset that resulted from the 50-country analysis will be made available for free on www.africaneconomicoutlook.org.
The gradual projected recovery in 2010 mostly reflects continued buoyant agricultural production and services, and exports that are slowly turning around. Nevertheless, exports of minerals, driven by the global return to growth, remain subdued because of compressed prices, reduced investment and continued production difficulties in the rutile sub-sector. Although growth is projected to increase to 5% in 2011 thanks to stronger global recovery and rising exports, returns on infrastructure investments and an improved business climate, it will remain below the pre-crisis rates. Even small differences in growth are potentially very damaging for a vulnerable country such as Sierra Leone, given the widespread poverty and the risk of policy reversal and social instability. For the future the key policy priority is thus to bring the economy quickly back on a high and broad-based growth path, as the current slowdown raises already high unemployment, hampers progress with poverty reduction and heightens risks of resurgence of fragility. In this context, stable and predictable foreign aid delivery remains crucial.
