Annual Presentation of the 2013 Regional Economic Outlook for Sub-Saharan Africa

13/05/2013
AFD invites the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to present, on May 13th, its annual report on the Economic Outlook for Sub-Saharan Africa. This year, the seminar will focus on subsidies development challenges in the energy sector.

Subsidies are intended to protect consumers by keeping prices low. But they also come at a high cost. They are expensive for governments—and therefore taxpayers—to finance and can hinder governments’ efforts to reduce budget deficits.

They also compete with other priority public spending on roads, schools, and healthcare.
