This tenth edition of the African Economic Outlook finds that the continent is on the rebound and expects its growth performance in the next years to resume at pre-crisis levels. the focus of the 2011 AEO is Africa's Emerging Economic Partnerships, presenting a comprehensive review of Africa's expanding economic relations with outside the continent that until very recently did not belong to the club of traditional 'donors', the OECD Development Assistance Committee. Africa benefits not only from the visible direct interactions with large emerging countries investment, trade, aid but also from the macroeconomic, political and strategic advantages that their rise has produced. As always, country chapters provide detailed information on a country-by-country basis and the statistical annex provides a wide variety of indicators for the countries covered. This year, the AEO covers all African countries except Eritrea and Somalia.
