At one end of the spectrum is the US Federal Reserve, which is likely to continue to tighten policy (only two days ago we had another quarter rate hike) ; at the other end, is the People’s Bank of China, likely to keep gradually easing monetary conditions, and the Bank of Japan, which is expected to stick to its yield curve control for the foreseeable future.
I would also like to extend our gratitude to our external partners, namely the United Nations Fund for Population (UNFPA) and the African Centre for Statistics of the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA).
