The subject matter of the Survey broadly follows the pattern of its recent predecessors: the chapters include the end of year message of the Executive Secretary of the commission; the international economic situation: overall trends in the region: performance and prospects in the main production sectors; fiscal, monetary, price and financial developments: the external sector; and a special study. The special study deals this year with the contentious issue of devaluation and its impact on African economies. It is well known that devaluation is an integral part of the adjustment packages proposed by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank to countries seeking support under standby agreements and/or structural adjustment loans. In many instances the issue has assumed worrying dimensions, as if the exchange rate of the currency was not a price like any other, the adjustment of which should be part of current economic management. It is hoped that the special study will be of use in encouraging a dispassionate examination of what ought to be an essentially economic issue, rather than a political one, and will help Governments and their planning officials to deal with it in a rational and efficient way.
