Africa at work: Job creation and inclusive growth<\/strong><\/p>\n

African economies are on the move. The continent has been the second-fastest-growing region in the world over the past decade. GDP is on course to expand by 4.8% in 2012. The acceleration in Africa’s growth over the past ten years reflects fundamental improvements in the macroeconomic landscape, political stability, and the business environment. MGI’s 2010 report Lions on the move: T he progress and potential of African economies<\/em> found that Africa is harnessing its natural wealth, and that sectors across the economy are growing rapidly. These sectors include agriculture, manufacturing, and local services such as retail, banking, and transportation and communications, in addition to the\u00a0 natural resources sector, which was the largest single contributor to growth.<\/p>\n
