The 2023 Economic Report on Africa focuses on the impact of multiple and recurring global shocks on African economies and the extent to which these shocks impede Africa's prospects for achieving the targets set in the Sustainable Development Goals. The principal lessons are that shocks of various magnitude, duration and recurrence have played a major part in shaping economic performance in the last several decades, undermining Africa's aspirations for sustained growth and rapid economic transformation that could benefit from demographic (youth bulge) and geographic (urbanization) trends. In addition, successive shocks have had scarring effects that have made it difficult for African economies to recover fully even after a short-lived shock such as the Global Financial Crisis. More important, the damages caused by shocks could morph into other domains such as political instability and conflict, undermining recovery and resilience to future shocks. The report also emphasizes the opportunities presented by the shocks to implement long overdue structural and public finance reforms that take full advantage of such regional initiatives as the African Continental Free Trade Area.

The Economic Report on Africa 2024 lays out the case for investing in a just and sustainable transition to meet the aspirations of the 2030 Agenda and Agenda 2063 for building a prosperous Africa. Building on country case studies and the findings and recommendations of previous Reports touching on structural transformations and sustainability transitions, the 2024 Report assesses the conditions for pursuing that transition in Africa and for catalysing the needed investments. African countries can leverage the global boom in "green" minerals and their large renewable-energy resources, tropical forests, and marine ecosystems to export premium carbon credits, generating finance for sustainable investments. International financing through multilateral development banks and other mechanisms for climate action could leverage additional funding from other sources.

The Economic Report on Africa 2025 (ERA 2025) examines AfCFTA’s implementation, highlighting achievements, challenges, and its potential to reshape Africa’s economic landscape. The report underscores AfCFTA’s role in addressing key challenges such as energy access, food security, industrialization, and digital trade. By fostering intra-African trade, the agreement can reduce commodity dependence, boost manufacturing, and strengthen Africa’s position in global value chains. Additionally, AfCFTA enhances Africa’s resilience amid global economic fragmentation by deepening regional integration and strengthening trade ties with emerging markets. To fully realize AfCFTA’s potential, Africa must undertake strategic investments, implement well-coordinated policies, and pursue structural reforms. If effectively executed, AfCFTA could significantly enhance trade, drive economic diversification, and position Africa as a global growth hub, contributing to the vision of Agenda 2063: The Africa We Want.

Public debt has reached historic levels globally, pressuring public finances and development prospects. In Africa, these pressures have intensified amid rising interest rates, tighter global liquidity and heightened exposure to external shocks, increasing debt service burdens and constraining fiscal space for development. This report argues that debt sustainability cannot be reduced to fiscal ratios or short-term repayment capacity alone, but depends on the quality of institutions, legal frameworks, transparency and oversight across the entire debt life cycle, as well as on the global financial conditions within which African countries operate. Drawing on comparative case studies, it introduces a Growth Enhancing Governance approach and a Sustainable Debt Governance Cycle to assess how debt can be managed as a tool for structural transformation, resilience and inclusive growth. By identifying systemic governance gaps and proposing practical policy directions, it provides policymakers with a framework to strengthen debt governance and support sustainable development outcomes across the continent.

The seventh edition of Assessing Regional Integration in Africa (ARIA VII) examines how the three elements of regional integration, innovation and competitiveness are interlinked. It explores the prospects for harnessing them within the framework of Africa’s normative regional integration development model oriented to foster structural change. Evidence presented in ARIA VII for a sample of 15 African countries for the period between 1995 and 2010 shows that growth in most of the sample countries has been achieved through factor accumulation rather than through significant improvements with input combinations that are associated with innovation. Based on theoretical and empirical insights, the report makes recommendations as to how further regional integration boost Africa’s capacity for innovation and competitiveness. In addition, the report provides an overview of regional integration trends in Africa, including an analysis of data from the African Regional Integration Index.

The 2016 edition of the Economic Report on Africa (ERA 2016) focuses on greening industrialization and highlights sustainable and people-centred industrialization. Given the impacts of climate change, resource scarcities and environmental degradation, measures for de-risking Africa’s development are critical. The form and pattern of Africa’s industrialization, shaped by its abundant natural resources especially water and renewable energy sources, are discussed within the scale and scope that tackles inequality and promotes inclusivity. The report employs a value chain approach in analyzing the decoupling needs of key economic sectors towards low carbon intensive economic growth in Africa. Country case studies are used in demonstrating ongoing greening activities across key sectors. This is supported with modelling of future development scenarios under ‘Business-as Usual’ and “Greening” to demonstrate the additionality of greening policies and investments in making a business case to support the industrialization and transformation momentum in the continent’s development agenda. The report therefore provides evidence-based information to policymakers and other stakeholders on greening Africa’s industrialization to achieve inclusive and sustainable structural transformation and growth on the continent.

The 2019 edition of the Economic Report on Africa explores the intricate terrain of revenue collection on the continent and makes salient recommendations to help African countries attain the SDGs and the aspirations of Agenda 2063 by expanding their fiscal space and how. It identifies several quick wins in Africa’s pursuit of additional fiscal space to finance achievement of the SDGs and the aspirations of Agenda 2063. The Report calls on African countries to stabilize the macroeconomic environment, it advises against using competitive tax breaks for attracting international companies, and calls on African countries and their global partners to muster external public and private resources, at the same time, urges countries to pay attention to debt sustainability issues.

This annual publication, jointly produced by the African Development Bank (AfDB), the African Union Commission (AUC) and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), is a result of the fruitful collaboration that exists among the three pan-African organizations within the field of statistics. This synergistic collaboration has two principal benefits: (1) it minimizes the risk of inconsistent information being produced by the three organizations, and (2) it reduces the reporting burden on member states, who might otherwise be obliged to submit data separately to each institution. The yearbook continues to serve the intended purpose of bringing together, in one volume, data on African countries for policy-makers, researchers and other users. The present edition presents a time series showing how African countries performed on several economic and social indicators over the period 2011-2019

The tenth edition of the report on Assessing Regional Integration in Africa (ARIA X) is on the theme: "Africa's services trade liberalization and integration under the AfCFTA". The report seeks to deepen understanding and appreciation of the critical role of services to trade, production and the economy in Africa. It critically analyzes the types of approaches to liberalization of trade in services and regional regulatory cooperation under the AfCFTA, which have the most potential to support Africa's development, including through the enhancement of intra-African trade in services, enabling of better and more effective integration into regional and global value chains, the enforcement of both public and privates sector capacities and overall greater competitiveness in an increasingly digitalizing global economy.

The report applies a poverty-vulnerability-resilience framework to examine the impact of COVID-19 on household well-being in Africa. The report emphasizes the dynamic nature of poverty since some of the poor are not poor all the time, though they are often vulnerable because of exposure to a multitude of risks that can push them below the poverty line and increase chronic poverty. Reducing vulnerability to risks is critical for enhancing well-being and reducing future poverty

The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) agreement entered into force in 2019, and its implementation commenced in 2021. A major milestone in the continent's regional integration, it aims to increase intra-African trade by eliminating import duties. Its planners hoped to double intra-African trade if non-tariff barriers were also reduced. Inadequate transport infrastructure and services could hamper the realization of AfCFTA's benefits. The urgent need to improve transport connectivity in Africa in the context of AfCFTA has created new research demands. This report explores the effects of AfCFTA on trade flows in Africa and asks how the AfCFTA signatories could reap the agreement's full benefits through the integrated planning of trade and transport. Using trade flow and freight mode choice models, the report identifies critical transport links across the continent and provides estimates for the infrastructure required for different modes of transport, road, rail, maritime and air, because of AfCFTA. It also unpacks the transport equipment required for the different modes: trucks for roads, rolling stock for railways, aircraft for air transport and ships for maritime transport. The report shows that trade and transport are mutually reinforcing and that current infrastructure and services, in all modes of transport in Africa, require upgrading to cope with the increased freight under the AfCFTA. This underscores the importance of prioritising the implementation of the Programme for Infrastructure Development in Africa (PIDA), the Trans-African Highway (TAH) network and the Single African Air Transport Market (SAATM)

The Yearbook series is a result of joint efforts by major African regional organizations to set up a joint data collection mechanism of socioeconomic data on African countries as well as the development of a common harmonized database. This Yearbook is meant to break with the practices of the past where each regional/subregional organization was publishing statistical data on African countries of the continent in an inefficient way, leading to duplication of efforts, inefficient use of scarce resources, increased burden on countries and sending different signals to users involved in tracking development efforts on the continent.

Harnessing data and frontier technologies offers significant opportunities for Africa to break from low-productivity trajectory and forge new pathways for inclusive and sustainable growth. Strategic adoption of frontier technologies across sectors offers the potential to leapfrog traditional development pathways, raise efficiency, support industrial upgrading, increase productivity, attract investment, create jobs, and promote economic diversification. Data, as a critical economic asset, and the new oil fuelling frontier technologies have also been instrumental in driving economic transformation worldwide and thus hold immense potential to accelerate Africa’s growth, innovation, and overall development. The Economic Report on Africa 2026, using a mixed-methods approach that includes empirical analysis and case studies, highlights the impact of innovation on economic growth and development through enhanced productivity. It also highlights the opportunities, risks, and challenges in harnessing data and frontier technologies and innovations to drive economic transformation, and the actions African countries can take to maximize the transformative potential. The report finds that enhancing Africa’s sectoral productivity and closing the productivity gap through technology and innovation requires differentiated strategies, with agriculture at risk of being left behind without climate-smart reforms, irrigation, and targeted finance. Manufacturing emerges as Africa’s anchor for structural transformation through technology and innovation-enabled clusters and corridors. And services thrive on digitalization and finance, but with limited human capital to sustain growth. Institutions and regional cooperation are decisive enablers for technology and innovation to flourish.

Egypt is one of Africa’s industrial heavyweights. Transforming the country''s economy to sustain job-rich and sustainable growth are pivotal steps in its march towards prosperity. Today’s search for new development models, accelerated by the unfolding of the COVID-19 pandemic, calls for shifting up a gear in raising Egypt’s industrial capabilities to compete in an industry 4.0 and agro 4.0 landscape. The Production Transformation Policy Review (PTPR) of Egypt uses a forward-looking framework to assess the country''s readiness to embrace change. This includes an analysis of the game-changing potential of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and perspectives on agro-food and electronics (i.e. what in Egypt is referred to as part of the engineering sector), as well as identifying priorities for future reforms. This review is the result of government-business dialogue, and benefited from peer learning from Italy and Malaysia. It also resulted from international and multi-stakeholder knowledge sharing through a dedicated Peer Learning Group (PLG) and the OECD Initiative for Policy Dialogue on Global Value Chains, Production Transformation and Development.

Ce rapport apporte un éclairage nouveau sur les économies urbaines africaines, d’une portée et d’une précision unique. Sur la base de données recueillies auprès de plus de 4 millions d''individus et d''entreprises, issus de 2 600 villes de 34 pays africains, le rapport montre que l''urbanisation contribue à l’amélioration des résultats économiques et du niveau de vie. Dans la plupart des dimensions socio-économiques, les villes obtiennent des résultats nettement supérieurs aux pays au sein desquels elles sont situées. En Afrique, l’urbanisation est responsable d’environ 30% de la croissance du produit intérieur brut (PIB) par habitant au cours des 20 dernières années. Les bénéfices de l''urbanisation sur les performances économiques et la qualité de vie s''étendent au-delà des limites de la ville et profitent également aux zones rurales. Les pôles urbains transnationaux émergent le long des côtes ainsi qu''à l''intérieur du continent, offrant de nouvelles opportunités de développement économique. Sur la base de ces résultats, le rapport définit des priorités politiques, aux niveaux national et local, essentielles pour réaliser le potentiel de l''urbanisation. Parmi celles-ci, le rôle économique des villes devrait être pleinement intégré dans la planification du développement national. Par ailleurs, les gouvernements locaux ont besoin d’une plus grande capacité fiscale et administrative pour devenir des acteurs clés du développement économique.

This report provides a new perspective on Africa’s urban economies that is unique in its breadth and level of detail. Based on data from more than 4 million individuals and firms in 2 600 cities across 34 countries, it presents compelling evidence that urbanisation contributes to better economic outcomes and higher living standards. It shows that across most socio-economic dimensions, cities significantly outperform the countries in which they are located. In Africa, urbanisation accounts for approximately 30% of the growth in per capita gross domestic product (GDP) over the past 20 years. Importantly, the gains from urbanisation on economic performance and quality of life extend beyond city boundaries, also benefiting rural areas. The report also shows that transnational clusters of cities are emerging along coasts as well as inland, offering new opportunities for economic development. Based on these findings, the report sets forth policy priorities at national and local levels that are essential to realise the potential of urbanisation. Among these, it argues that the role of cities should be fully anchored in national development planning. Moreover, local governments need greater fiscal and administrative capacity to become key actors in economic development.
