Show Notes

Despite struggling with the effects of the European debt crisis, political turmoil in Cote d'Ivoire and a severe drought in the Sahel, the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) promises to prove its resilience in the coming year. After growing less that 1% in 2011, the IMF estimates growth to rebound to 7% this year.
