dc.description | Fifth Joint Meeting AU Conference of Ministers of Economy and Finance and ECA Conference of African Ministers of Finance, Planning and Economic Development - Addis Ababa March 22 to March 27, 2012. Ministers in the areas of Economy, Planning, and Finance are meeting in the African Union (AU) headquarters within the framework of the 5th Joint AU Conference of Ministers of Economy and Finance (CAMEF) and African Ministers of Finance, Planning and Economic Development (CAMFED) that kicked off today, Monday, 26 March 2012, in the New African Union Conference Center (AUCC), Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Holding under the theme “Unleashing Africa’s Potential as a Pole of Global Growth” The Conference is jointly organized by the African Union Commission (AUC) and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA). It is a theme that we consider to be both timely and pertinent. After a long period of decline and slow growth that spanned the 1980s and 1990s, it is refreshing to note that our continent has reemerged in the twenty-first century as a region that is alive with opportunities and prospects. Factors such as improved governance, a better and stable macroeconomic environment, an improved business climate, high rates of return on investment, abundant natural resources and more favorable commodity prices, increasing urbanization, an enlarged middle class, and promising market potential have all combined to propel Africa into an era of sustained growth. Indeed, the continent has transited from its recent slow-growth trajectory to become one of the fastest-growing regions in the world, achieving an average annual growth rate of above 5 percent over the last decade. The Conference welcomed participation for the first time of the delegation of South Sudan, Africa’s newest State. | en |
