The economies of African countries have rebounded from the lows experienced during the global financial crisis period. According to the IMF and the most recently published African Economic Outlook, the average rate of growth of African countries rose to almost 5% in 2010, up from the 3% in 2009.

Political events in North Africa and uncertainty over the impact of the EU financial crisis and the global effect of the Japanese natural disaster could dampen the continent’s growth in 2011.

Assuming the global economy can withstand the possible shocks, Africa’s average growth is expected to increase further in 2012. The current economic recovery in Africa is welcome news as it will help alleviate the high level of unemployment in many countries.
