Africa’s Macroeconomic Performance and Outlook – January 2023

Africa’s Macroeconomic Performance and Outlook is the African Development Bank Group’s new biannual publication to be released in the first and third quarters of each year.

The publication will offer policymakers, global investors, researchers, and other development partners an up-to-date evidence-based assessment of the continent’s recent macroeconomic performance and short-to-medium-term outlook amid dynamic global economic developments.

The new report will feature forecasts and analysis from the surveillance of regional and global macroeconomic developments.

Africa’s Macroeconomic Performance and Outlook will complement the African Economic Outlook, the Bank’s long-standing flagship publication, which focuses on key emerging policy themes relevant to Africa’s development.

This inaugural edition of the Macroeconomic Performance and Outlook acknowledges the difficult challenges that African economies face in navigating the maze of multiple overlapping global risks. The report advocates for bold policy actions at the national, regional, and global levels to help African economies mitigate the compounding risks.
