The Economic Commission for Africa, the African Development Bank Group, the Organisation of Economic Cooperation and Development, National Treasury, and the South African Institute of International Affairs are delighted to invite you to the launch of the: African Economic Outlook 2010

The annual African Economic Outlook is published jointly by the African Development Bank, the OECD Development Centre and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, with financial support from the European Commission and the Committee of African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States. The 2010 Outlook covers 50 African countries, up from 47 last year.

The AEO presents a promising outlook for the continent after the global financial and economic crisis had induced a marked slowdown. The recovery is however set to be uneven with the Southern African region expected to recover more slowly than all the other regions.  The theme of the 2010 AEO is "public resource mobilisation and aid"; this will be discussed at the launch in addition to a discussion on the macro-economic outlook for Africa.
