The short form of economic survey - the economic data summary

Abstract

The ECA has been working towards publishing a volume (which could be an annual publication) on the individual countries of Africa. Much work has been done in the past on waiting sub regional surveys and on the annual- economic survey of Africa which attempts to describe the developments on the African continent. A statistical bulletin is also published periodically which compares the countries in Africa through their statistic. These last two publications are particularly valuable for the purpose of examining Africa as a whole and comparing progress between countries, but they are of only limited interest for those persons or organizations interested only in particular individual countries.
