| Economist Intelligence Unit forecasts Eritrea's economy to grow by 8.0% in 2014 |
November 1, 2013 — Eritrea’s economy is expected to maintain a growth rate of 8.0% in 2014, according to the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), a research arm of The Economist Group.
According to the group's figures, Eritrea will have the third fastest-growing economy in Africa, trailing only behind Zambia and Rwanda.
The data was revealed by Robert Ward, the Country Director of the EIU, at the start of a two-day conference organised by the The Economist magazine in Ghana last Tuesday.
With nearly 20 foreign mining companies operating in Eritrea, analysts predict a mining boom that will accelerate the country's GDP growth for decades to come.
Conservative estimates indicate around a quarter of a trillion dollars worth of minerals and potash are to be found in Eritrea, making the Red Sea State's economic future among the brightest in the continent.

I just got back from Eritrea. Leading up to my trip, all I read was bad news about the country. But when I arrived, my perception changed. The people are so hospitable and fun to be around. I genuinely loved being in Asmara; it's such an amazing city; by far, my favorite city in Africa. It's a shame these Western journalists keep lying about your country to score political points for their respective governments.
ReplyDeleteI think Eritrea's economic future is on a launching pad. Every minor I've spoken to said Eritrea's the next big thing in Africa. You guys have a lot of resources and it's time you capitalize on them.
This is a good news. May God bless Eritrea more and more! 10q for the report.

ReplyDeleteCheap commodity in the desert of sini if this is the economic growth that you are talking we don't want it.
What we need first and for most is social justice and to be governed by the rule of law and put in place our constitution
Then definitely economic growth will come in double digits no dout
