7 GDP AND INFLATION Angola Cape Verde Mozambique São Tomé & Príncipe Sub-Saharan Africa 25 GDP real growth rate (%) Angola Cape Verde Mozambique São Tomé & Príncipe Sub-Saharan Africa 30 Inflation rate (%) Lusophone Africa countries have been posting positive real GDP growth rates throughout the past decade but a steep slowdown in global economic activity in late 2008 resulted in recession in case of Cabo Verde. Economic growth has resumed in 2010, in case of Angola at a slower but still strong rate. Inflation has been declining in recent years and prices are all growing at single digit pace Source: IMF (World Economic Outlook October 2013) UBD África 7

8 ECONOMIC GROWTH (PROJECTIONS) (1/2) Angola Cape Verde Mozambique Sub-Saharan Africa GDP real growth rate (%) Source: IMF (World Economic Outlook October 2013) Angola: economy will keep growing in the foreseeable future even though at more moderates rates if compared to period. Public investment, services, construction, manufacturing and Oil & Gas will support growth rates in the coming years. Cabo Verde: Investment in transportation and other tourism related facilities will help the archipelago return to average 5% a year growth rate in the coming years. Slow recovery in Europe, main source of tourists, still poses a threat to economic growth in Cabo Verde. Mozambique: Coal mining and Gas extraction will bolster the economy which expected to grow strongly in the coming years. Mineral resources potential present the best opportunity for strong and consistent economic growth and development for the country in a generation. UBD África 8

9 ECONOMIC GROWTH (PROJECTIONS) (2/2) São Tomé & Príncipe Sub-Saharan Africa GDP real growth rate (%) Source: IMF (World Economic Outlook October 2013) São Tomé: Oil production is already increasing investment in São Tomé and the economy is expected to take-off to new highs before 2018 on the back of Oil production that should start as soon as However after two majors (Chevron and Total) cut off their operation in São Tomé calling the investment not feasible, projected growth could be slower than projected by IMF and other institutions. Overall, the Sub-Saharan region of the continent is expected to post healthy growth rates in the years to come, maintaining the growth trend of its recent past. UBD África 9

16 GOVERNMENT REVENUES AND DEBT Angola Cape Verde Mozambique São Tomé & Príncipe Sub-Saharan Africa 60 Government Revenues excluding grants (% of GDP) Angola Cape Verde Mozambique São Tomé & Príncipe Sub-Saharan Africa 350 Government Debt (% of GDP) After alleviation from its international creditors, São Tomé & Principe has steadily reduced its Debt to similar levels of those of Cabo Verde. Angola s strong fiscal position backed by Oil sector taxation sets the country apart from its peer Lusophone countries. However, one should notice. Mozambique s recent economic growth which is helping the nation improve its overall fiscal outlook Source: IMF (Regional Economic Outlook Sub-Saharan Africa, October 2013) UBD África 16

17 EXPORTS AND TRADE BALANCE Angola Cape Verde Mozambique São Tomé & Príncipe Sub-Saharan Africa Exports of Goods and Services (% of GDP) Angola Cape Verde Mozambique São Tomé & Príncipe Sub-Saharan Africa Trade Balance (% of GDP) Source: IMF (Regional Economic Outlook Sub-Saharan Africa, October 2013) Being an Oil exporting country Angola historically stands on strong Trade Balance while its Lusophone peers historically run on negative Trade Balance. Down the line, it is expected a general improvement in exports from all four countries. Mozambique and São Tomé will soon join the team of Oil & Gas exporters while Cabo Verde is investing in infra-structure to increase revenues from tourism. UBD África 17

18 EXTERNAL CURRENT ACCOUNT AND GRANTS Angola Cape Verde Mozambique São Tomé & Príncipe Sub-Saharan Africa Source: IMF (Regional Economic Outlook Sub-Saharan Africa, October 2013) External Current Account (% of GDP) Angola Cape Verde Mozambique São Tomé & Príncipe Sub-Saharan Africa Official Grants (% of GDP) Angolan External Current Account has been positive recently bar 2009 when price and demand for Oil fell from 2008 peak driving down exports. Mozambique posted a trade surplus in 2011 but like Cabo Verde and São Tomé the country is historically a net importer. Grants are still an important source of funds for São Tomé and Mozambique while it has no effect in Angolan accounts and its weight on Cabo Verdean GDP is diminishing to historic lows. UBD África 18

19 EXTERNAL DEBT AND RESERVES Angola Cape Verde Mozambique São Tomé & Príncipe Sub-Saharan Africa 350 External Debt (% of GDP) Angola Cape Verde Mozambique São Tomé & Príncipe Sub-Saharan Africa 9 Reserves (months of imports of goods and services) Source: IMF (Regional Economic Outlook Sub-Saharan Africa, October 2013) Angolan External Debt is slightly lower than regional average while other Lusophone nations are above Sub-Saharan average (10.8% of GDP in 2013). Regarding Foreign exchange reserves, like most countries in SSA, Mozambique, Cabo Verde and São Tomé stand on a very marginal position despite recent improvements. Gas exports should boost Mozambican ability to accumulate foreign reserves in the coming years. UBD África 19
