Over recent years, Ghana has been one of the world’s fastest-growing economies, on the back of the emergence of its oil industry and underpinned by its political stability and the strength of its other commodity sectors. While GDP growth is expected to slow this year, the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) is targeting a 20% increase in foreign direct investment (FDI), following a dip in 2013.
The recalculation of Nigeria’s GDP may encourage more foreign investment and further development, though the rebasing process has also underscored the need for more of this newly identified wealth to be invested in structural reforms to ease income inequality and boost social and economic inclusiveness.
Au cours des cinq dernières années, le Maroc a enregistré une hausse constante de ses déficits « jumeaux » (budgétaire et commercial), principalement en raison du ralentissement prolongé de l’activité économique en Europe, partenaire commercial de premier ordre et source majeure d’investissement direct à l’étranger pour le pays.
A new report from the IMF says growth in Nigeria will accelerate this year, but the economy still has a range of structural weaknesses, including rigid labour markets and insufficient power supply.
En dépit de difficultés, la performance économique du Maroc s’est considérablement améliorée en 2013. Si la demande européenne est demeurée faible, le dynamisme de la production agricole et des investissements directs en provenance de l’étranger ainsi que les mesures de diversification des marchés à l’export et de rééquilibrage du budget ont permis au pays d’augmenter son PIB de 5 %.
Cela fait longtemps que la diversification fait l’objet de discussions en Algérie mais les efforts déployés pour accroître les activités dans les secteurs hors hydrocarbures commencent enfin à porter leurs fruits.
