Global recession African impact

The World Bank says the global recession has worsened.

In a new report, the Bank is warning that a drop in investment in developing countries will increase poverty.

In sub-Saharan Africa, it says growth could drop dramatically down to 1% from an annual average of 5.7% in the last three years.

But why this new forecast for Africa when so many analysts had been saying the global economic downturn wouldn't affect Africa as badly as other regions?

Hassan Arouni spoke with Andrew Burns of the World Bank.
