World Bank: Africa's economic growth to outpace average
BCC News Business, 15 April 2013
Economic growth in sub-Saharan Africa should significantly outpace the global average over the next three years, according to the World Bank.
Higher commodities, increasing investment and a general pick-up in the world economy should all boost the continent's growth to more than 5%.
But the World Bank added that African governments had to do more to ensure that this growth reduced poverty.
