Central African Republic - Economist Intelligence Unit - The Economist

OVERVIEW: The political outlook for the Central African Republic remains uncertain. The IMF's approval of a poverty reduction and growth facility has led to the resumption of donor aid, which will be vital for the government's survival. The resumption of donor support should assist the economic recovery, driving real GDP growth of 4.6% in 2008 and 4.8% in 2009. However, inflationary pressures will persist and inflation is forecast to average 7.1% in 2008 and 3.6% in 2009.
