ADDIS ABABA, Jan. 22 (Xinhua) -- African economies will continue to grow in 2015 due to private investment and consumption which have been key drivers of gross domestic product (GDP) over the past years Cheap Mike Pouncey Jersey , according to the UN World Economic Situation and Prospects 2015 (WESP).


Africa's GDP is expected to accelerate from 3.5 percent in 2014 to 4.6 percent in 2015 and 4.9 percent in 2016.


In his presentation on the report on Thursday at the UN Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) in Ethiopia's capital Addis Ababa, Adam Elhiraika, Director for Macroeconomic Policy Division at ECA, said rising middle class, improvement in the business environment and decreased cost of doing business are the major contributors to Africa's economic growth.


The global economy is expected to expand at a slightly faster but still only moderate pace, with world gross product (WGP) projected to grow by 3.1 and 3.3 percent in 2015 and 2016, respectively Cheap Reshad Jones Jersey , compared with an estimated growth of 2.6 percent in 2014.


A major weakness in the macroeconomic picture remains the employment situation, as GDP growth continued to be subdued and below potential in many parts of the world, and therefore did not create a sufficient number of productive jobs, says the report.


The report warns Africa's growth is subject to a number of downside risks.


Elhiraika stated that falling oil prices; falling commodity prices; the Ebola epidemic in West Africa; renewed weakness in developing markets; continuing political instability in some areas, possibility of weather-related shocks, are among the downside risks in Africa.


Of the five sub-regions of the continent, East Africa is expected to experience the fastest growth Cheap Ndamukong Suh Jersey , reaching 6.8 percent in 2015 and 6.6 percent in 2016.


"Kenya and Uganda will be key drivers of growth. Kenya will benefit from rapid expansion in banking and telecommunication services and investment in infrastructure, particularly railways. Uganda's growth will be supported by increasing activity in sectors such as construction, financial services, transport and telecommunications," says the report.


North and Southern Africa are expected to experience an acceleration in growth, from 1.6 percent and 2.9 percent in 2014 to 3.9 percent and 3.6 percent in 2015, respectively.


The enhanced growth prospects for North Africa are underpinned by improving political stability in Egypt and Tunisia.


In Southern Africa Cheap Byron Maxwell Jersey , although Angola, Mozambique and Zambia will continue to be the fastest-growing economies, the 2015 growth acceleration is expected to be mainly driven by more investment in the non-diamond sector in Botswana, a recovery in private consumption in South Africa, and increased investment in mining and natural gas exploration in Mozambique.


Central and West Africa are expected to experience a moderate increase in growth, from 4.3 percent and 5.9 percent in 2014 to 4. 7 percent and 6.2 percent in 2015, respectively Cheap Jay Cutler Jersey , with increased political instability and terrorism in some of the countries in this region such as Mali, Nigeria, and the Central African Republic preventing a stronger expansion.


The Ebola outbreak and possible increased political instability in the run-up to elections in Nigeria constitute major downside risks for the outlook in West Africa.


Despite ongoing growth across the region, a number of internal and external risks may derail Africa's economic performance, according to the report.


A prolonged period of lower oil prices, a weakening in the developed economies, or a further slowdown in China's demand for commodities would negatively affect the continent's trade earnings.


Tighter global financial conditions in developed economies such as the U.S. may also result in the outflow of pri"
