Hi Pam,
Hope all of you are doing fine.
It has been a long, long time. I have been quite busy with my work.
Here is something that might be on interest to Dadamac readers. It is an infographic from the Economist magazine which says that sub-Saharan Africa's economy is forecast to grow overall by 4.5% this year. In comparison, economies of countries south of the Sahara together grew by less than 2% in 2009.
As much as the infographic, it is interesting to read the comments by readers on what this news would mean for Africa. While some have responded that the rate of growth should be higher, others have said that even faster pace of growth would mean nothing for Africa unless it controls its growing population and tackles issues like health and education.
Thanks and regards,
Vijay
