Sub-Saharan Africa: Financial Soundess Indicators, 2006-10Sub-Saharan Africa continues to record strong economic growth, despite the weaker global economic environment. Regional output rose by 5 percent in 2011, with growth set to increase slightly in 2012, helped by still-strong commodity prices, new resource exploitation, and the improved domestic conditions that have underpinned several years of solid trend growth in the region's low-income countries. But there is variation in performance across the region, with output in middle-income countries tracking more closely the global slowdown and with some sub-regions adversely affected, at least temporarily, by drought. Threats to the outlook include the risk of intensified financial stresses in the euro area spilling over into a further slowing of the global economy and the possibility of an oil price surge triggered by rising geopolitical tensions.Regional Economic OutlookEconomic forecastingAfrica, Sub-SaharanEconomic developmentAfrica, Sub-SaharanBanks and BankingimfForeign ExchangeimfInflationimfMacroeconomicsimfNatural ResourcesimfExports and ImportsimfBanksimfDepository InstitutionsimfMicro Finance InstitutionsimfMortgagesimfAgricultural and Natural Resource EconomicsimfEnvironmental and Ecological Economics: GeneralimfPrice LevelimfDeflationimfTrade: GeneralimfMonetary Policy, Central Banking, and the Supply of Money and Credit: GeneralimfBankingimfCurrencyimfForeign exchangeimfEnvironmental managementimfInternational economicsimfMonetary economicsimfExchange ratesimfNatural resourcesimfExportsimfEnvironmentimfPricesimfCommercial banksimfFinancial institutionsimfCreditimfMoneyimfInternational tradeimfBanks and bankingimfAfrica, Sub-SaharanEconomic conditions1960-South AfricaimfEconomic forecastingEconomic developmentBanks and BankingForeign ExchangeInflationMacroeconomicsNatural ResourcesExports and ImportsBanksDepository InstitutionsMicro Finance InstitutionsMortgagesAgricultural and Natural Resource EconomicsEnvironmental and Ecological Economics: GeneralPrice LevelDeflationTrade: GeneralMonetary Policy, Central Banking, and the Supply of Money and Credit: GeneralBankingCurrencyForeign exchangeEnvironmental managementInternational economicsMonetary economicsExchange ratesNatural resourcesExportsEnvironmentPricesCommercial banksFinancial institutionsCreditMoneyInternational tradeBanks and banking330.95International Monetary Fund.DcWaIMFBOOK9910827917903321Regional Economic Outlook, April 2012, Sub-Saharan Africa4014214UNINA
