Emerging markets overtake EU in Africa export survey

The World Bank’s latest economic analysis of Africa reveals that exports are driving the continent’s growth - and that the traditional destination of these goods over the last decade has changed as well. Since 2000, the overall growth of sub-Saharan exports to emerging markets, including those of China, Brazil and India, and to countries in the region has surpassed that to developed markets. Total exports to Brazil, India and China were larger than to the EU market in 2011.
