High oil prices and rising crude production will boost economic growth in sub-Saharan Africa next year but not by enough to meet the United Nations target for halving poverty by 2015, the IMF predicted Monday.
African growth as a whole should rebound to 5,3 percent in 2006, after falling to 4,6 percent this year, but against a background of rising population will still fall short of rate needed to meet the eight Millennium Development Goals, the funds deputy director Michael Nowack said.
