4.1 Diversification trends at the subregional level: Economic Report on Africa 2007
| |
| The general picture of the continental performance that was shown in figure 4.1
masks the gains and losses made at the subregional and country levels. Figure 4.3
gives the situation at the subregional level and it compares five subregions defined
around some of the RECs. In 1980, the most diversified subregions were COMESA
and ECOWAS. The least diversified was CEMAC with SADC and North Africa in
between. By 2002, the diversification gains at the subregional level had changed,
with the most significant gains made by SADC, which is now the most diversified
subregion on the continent. It is followed by COMESA and North Africa. CEMAC
has remained the least diversified subregion. |

2.2 Sectoral performance I: Economic Report on Africa 2007
| |
| African economies are experiencing a structural shift whereby the service sector is
becoming an important driver of growth. In 2004, the service sector contributed 49
per cent of GDP growth compared to 36 per cent for industry (including mining
and quarrying) and 15 per cent for agriculture. In 2004, all three sectors continued
to grow, albeit at relatively low rates. The industrial sector had the highest growth
rate at 9.05 per cent, although growth in the manufacturing sector fell by almost 3.8
per cent compared to 2003. Developments within each sector and for each subregion
are discussed in more detail below. |
