Sammanfattning

Sub-Saharan Africa stands at a critical juncture between repeating historical
boom-and-bust cycles and achieving sustained economic prosperity. While
recent growth has sparked hope, this book goes beyond growth to examine
the structural changes that shaped the region’s economies since independence.
It reveals that today’s growth is built on improved foundations compared to
past growth spurts. The study underscores that neither outright optimism
nor overwhelming pessimism is warranted; instead, it highlights the need for
proactive and comprehensive efforts to harness these advancements. Without
concerted action focusing on structural change, the region risks missing the
opportunity to fully realise its potential.
