Each issue also includes a section focusing upon a topic that represents a particular developmentchallenge for the continent. It is produced by the Office of the Chief Economist for the Africa Region of theWorld Bank. Recent data point to a moderate strengthening of economic growth in Sub-Saharan Africa in early 2018,according to the new Africa's Pulse, a bi-annual analysis of the state of African economies conducted by theWorld Bank. Growth is projected to pick up to 3.1 percent in 2018, and to firm to an average of 3.6 percentin 2019-20. This upswing reflected, on the supply side, rising oil and metals production, encouraged byrecovering commodity prices and improving agricultural conditions following droughts. On the demand side,domestic demand was the main driver of last year's growth, reflecting a rebound in consumer spending asinflation moderated, and a recovery in fixed investment as economic activity picked up among oil and metalsexporters.
