TwitterAs of 2023, the GDP of Africa was estimated at roughly 3.1 trillion U.S. dollars. This was the highest value since 2010 when the continent's GDP amounted to approximately 2.1 trillion U.S. dollars. The GDP value in Africa generally followed an upward trend in recent years and was estimated to exceed 4.2 trillion U.S. dollars by 2027.
Leading the charge: the three leading African economies
Among the African countries, in 2021, Nigeria had the highest GDP with approximately 442 billion U.S. dollars. South Africa and Egypt followed. These three countries have the largest economies for various reasons. The most notable factors are their population size, natural resources, and level of economic development. Furthermore, Africa was projected to have a real GDP growth rate of 3.9 percent in 2023. Libya was the economy experiencing the highest growth rate in that year.
The Sub-Saharan African economy on the rise
A global comparison showed that Sub-Saharan Africa had the smallest GDP among all world regions in 2021, amounting to 1.87 trillion U.S. dollars. A closer look revealed that Sub-Saharan Africa had a GDP per capita of 1,626.3 U.S. dollars in 2021, again the lowest worldwide. However, the region's economy was forecast to experience continued growth in the following years, with the real GDP increasing by 3.7 percent in 2023.

TwitterIn 2025, Luxembourg was the country with the highest gross domestic product per capita in the world. Of the 20 listed countries, 13 are in Europe and five are in Asia, alongside the U.S. and Australia. There are no African or Latin American countries among the top 20. Correlation with high living standards While GDP is a useful indicator for measuring the size or strength of an economy, GDP per capita is much more reflective of living standards. For example, when compared to life expectancy or indices such as the Human Development Index or the World Happiness Report, there is a strong overlap - 14 of the 20 countries on this list are also ranked among the 20 happiest countries in 2024, and all 20 have "very high" HDIs. Misleading metrics? GDP per capita figures, however, can be misleading, and to paint a fuller picture of a country's living standards then one must look at multiple metrics. GDP per capita figures can be skewed by inequalities in wealth distribution, and in countries such as those in the Middle East, a relatively large share of the population lives in poverty while a smaller number live affluent lifestyles.

TwitterAs of 2022, the real GDP growth rate in Africa was estimated at 3.7 percent, decreasing compared to the previous year when it stood at 4.8 percent. Africa's real GDP is projected to keep a stable and constant growth trend between 2023 and 2027.
Negative impact of COVID-19
Starting in 2020, the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) caused economic stagnation and recession in most world regions. Economies on the African continent were also negatively affected, as the health crisis determined disruptions across all economic sectors. In 2020, Africa’s real GDP dropped to minus 1.8 percent, an exceptional negative growth rate registered on the continent. Southern Africa was the most affected region, followed by Central and Western Africa, respectively.
Forecast economic growth in Africa
In 2021 and 2022, Africa’s economy showed signs of recovery after the COVID-19 crisis. Growth was expected to continue in the following years, with the total GDP increasing from around three trillion U.S. dollars in 2020 to four trillion U.S. dollars in 2027. The African economy was set to grow at a rapid pace, especially compared to other world regions. By 2027, Sub-Saharan Africa’s GDP is estimated to record a growth rate of over four percent, while the European Union’s economy would expand by less than two percent.

The paper focused on how energy consumption could promote inclusive growth and which type of energy consumption either renewable or non-renewable can lead to inclusive growth. The paper then proceeds to test empirically if the presence of foreign direct investment could help energy consumption to further enhance inclusive growth. The paper used 32 sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries over a 25-year time spanning 1995 to 2019. The is primarily based on the availability of data which was obtained from the World Bank (World Development Indicators), and the United States Energy Information Agency (EIA).
The dependent variable was proxied with an inclusive growth index where principal component analysis (PCA) was used in the generation of the index. The paper used 21 variables to create the index and these include access to clean fuels and technologies for cooking (% of the population); access to electricity (% of the population); mobile cellular subscriptions (per 100 people); contributing family workers, total (% of total employment); employment to population ratio, 15+, total (%) (modelled ILO); Immunization, DPT (% of children ages 12-23 months); mortality rate, under-5 (per 1,000 live births); nurses and midwives (per 1,000 people); physicians (per 1,000 people); the prevalence of underweight, weight for age (% of children under 5); primary education, duration (years), the proportion of seats held by women in national parliaments (%); pupil-teacher ratio, primary; school enrolment, primary (gross); gender parity index (GPI); school enrolment, secondary (gross), gender parity index; school enrolment, tertiary (gross) gender parity index; people using at least basic drinking water services (% of the population); people using at least basic sanitation services (% of the population); domestic general government health expenditure (% of general government expenditure); government expenditure on education, total (% of government expenditure); Gross Domestic Product per Capital (Constant, 2017, US$ PPP). All these variables were sourced from WDI.
To ensure that the index created is robust, the paper conducts various diagnostic tests such as determinant of the correlation matrix; Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin Measure of Sampling (KMO) and Bartlett test of sphericity.
The main variable of interest is energy consumption which was disaggregated into renewable energy consumption (% of total final energy consumption) and fossil fuel comprises coal, oil, petroleum, and natural gas products (non-renewable) sourced from EIA. The moderating variable is net Foreign Direct Investment Inflow (% GDP).
The control variables we sourced from WDI include gross fixed capital formation (% of GDP), labour force participation rate, total (% of total population ages 15-64) (modelled ILO estimate), trade (% of GDP) and GDP per person employed (constant 2017 PPP $).

This study explores the Social Solidarity Economy (SSE) of People of African Descent (PAD) in Europe. SSE is believed to contribute to sustainability transformation since it emphasizes social, economic, and environmental objectives (Elsen, 2018). This contribution is important especially when it comes to the social inclusion and empowerment of vulnerable communities like PAD. The SSE plays a crucial role in the lives of PAD. The SSE is where PAD find refuge and meet their economic and social needs. It is also where they actively contribute, through their SSE, to the economy and society (Hossein, 2017). However, the endeavors and contributions of PAD in the SSE have not been recognized and well documented (Hossein, 2018), especially in the context of Europe. The SSE literature has neglected informal organizations that are common among PAD (Hossein & Skerritt, 2018) and failed to sufficiently incorporate analyses and theories from PAD (Hossein, 2018, 2019). The purpose of this study is to examine the characteristics of the SSE organizations (SSEOs) of PAD in Europe and their contribution to the economy and society. The study has two major parts. The first part is based on a systematic scoping review of studies about SSEOs of PAD in the context of Europe. The review aims to examine the overall state of research in this domain and systematically map the evidence. In this case, 109 studies were reviewed. The second part is based on multiple case studies of SSEOs of PAD in the context of Italy. Here, the objective is to investigate the characteristics and contribution of such organizations vis-à-vis the concepts of eco-social innovation, sustainability transition, and social inclusion and empowerment. For the case study, data is collected from more than 19 SSEOs through semi-structured interviews and document analysis. The study also applies the theories of diverse economies and social solidarity economy to inform the research process.

TwitterSince the beginning of the 21st century, the BRICS countries have been considered the five foremost developing economies in the world. Originally, the term BRIC was used by economists when talking about the emerging economies of Brazil, Russia, India, and China, however these countries have held annual summits since 2009, and the group has expanded to include South Africa since 2010. China has the largest GDP of the BRICS country, at 16.86 trillion U.S. dollars in 2021, while the others are all below three trillion. Combined, the BRICS bloc has a GDP over 25.85 trillion U.S. dollars in 2022, which is slightly more than the United States. BRICS economic development China has consistently been the largest economy of this bloc, and its rapid growth has seen it become the second largest economy in the world, behind the U.S.. China's growth has also been much faster than the other BRICS countries; for example, when compared with the second largest BRICS economy, its GDP was less than double the size of Brazil's in 2000, but is almost six times larger than India's in 2021. Since 2000, the country with the second largest GDP has fluctuated between Brazil, Russia, and India, due to a variety of factors, although India has held this position since 2015 (when the other two experienced recession), and it's growth rate is on track to surpass China's in the coming decade. South Africa has consistently had the smallest economy of the BRICS bloc, and it has just the third largest economy in Africa; its inclusion in this group is due to the fact that it is the most advanced and stable major economy in Africa, and it holds strategic importance due to the financial potential of the continent in the coming decades. Future developments It is predicted that China's GDP will overtake that of the U.S. by the end of the 2020s, to become the largest economy in the world, while some also estimate that India will also overtake the U.S. around the middle of the century. Additionally, the BRICS group is more than just an economic or trading bloc, and its New Development Bank was established in 2014 to invest in sustainable infrastructure and renewable energy across the globe. While relations between its members were often strained or of less significance in the 20th century, their current initiatives have given them a much greater international influence. The traditional great powers represented in the Group of Seven (G7) have seen their international power wane in recent decades, while BRICS countries have seen theirs grow, especially on a regional level. Today, the original BRIC countries combine with the Group of Seven (G7), to make up 11 of the world's 12 largest economies, but it is predicted that they will move further up on this list in the coming decades.
