African Economic Outlook 2005
The African Economic Outlook, a joint project of the African Development Bank and the OECD Development Centre, is an annual review of the recent economic situation and the likely short-term evolution of selected African countries.
The analysis is presented on a country-by-country basis using a unique analytical design.
