London - The MENA Outlook publication presents Arabia Monitor's insights on global markets, outlines and analyses regional future trends and defining themes, and then focuses on individual country macroeconomic views. Each publication is laid out in a concise bullet point format and features a Special Feature interview with regional leaders including central bank governors, ministers and executives.
Growth in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is forecast at 6.1% for 2013, second in the world after developing Asia (7.4%). As MENA seeks to diversify away from traditional G7 partners, SSA could become a significant destination for MENA investment and trade.
- SSA's market share of MENA exports remains insignificant at about 2% of the total, but opportunities abound to scale up exports of fertilizers, pearls and iron by up to 37 times on average, given the gap between current MENA supply and SSA demand for these products
- Improving transport infrastructure within Africa would boost SSA's GDP by more than USD 20B (1.5% of 2013 GDP) annually through 2025 and increase trade by to 51% beyond the baseline
