Experts welcome ECA country profiles, call for in-depth analysis

Abstract

Experts welcome ECA’s initiative to publish annual country and regional profiles with quarterly updates. Representing national statistical offices, central banks, regional economic communities and other stakeholders, the experts commended ECA’s Country Profile initiative, and called for deeper analysis on social statistics. “There is need to provide space for discussing structural issues in the country profiles as well as deeper analysis of social statistics with more indicators beyond analysis of the business cycle” recommended the meeting.
