Africa poised to benefit from strong European backing in its recovery

Despite this year having been the worst year of growth for the global economy in the past 40 years, and with sub-Saharan Africa facing its first recession in 25 years with a 3.1% gross domestic product (GDP) contraction expected, there remains a strong case for a rebound, as international institutions have committed a significant amount of resources to Africa's economic recovery, The European House – Ambrosetti CEO Valerio De Molli has said. For example, the European Union (EU) has committed almost €40-billion toward recovery in Africa, while the African Development Bank committed around €10-billion, the World Bank €135-billion, the International Monetary Fund €2.7-billion and the Africa Export-Import Bank around €3-billion.
