A Steep Decline in Investment By Africa’s Oil-rich Nations– World Bank Report

A latest report by the World Bank on Africa’s oil-rich nations indicated that the oil-rich countries on the continent have witnessed its greatest reduction in investment.

According to the multilateral lender, depending on the degree of resource availability and fragility, different groupings of Sub-Saharan African nations have seen a slowdown in investment growth, the paper claims.

“Oil-abundant countries exhibit the largest and most persistent downswing in investment relative to the other groups. After exhibiting annual average growth of nearly 8% from 2010 to 2013, oil-abundant countries on average have experienced a contraction in investment since the 2014 to 2015 plunge in international oil prices.”

World Bank Report

The World Bank research also mentioned that sub-Saharan African nations with many metal resources are experiencing a severe decline in investment. In contrast, non-resource-rich nations saw the slowest slowdown in investment growth.

The oil-rich countries fell in their yearly average rate from 6.3 percent in 2010 and 2013 to 2.2% in 2020 and 2021 (which is still far below their long-term average growth of 6.1%).

Investment Growth Remain Below Long-Term Average

The World Bank research stated that following the collapse in commodity prices, investment growth remained below the long-term average in fragile nations. According to the research, governmental, private, and foreign investments all show a steep decline in investment growth in the SSA area.

In the majority of the years under consideration, the increase in investment is below the long-term average (2000 – 2019), independent of the kind of agent undertaking it, be it public, private, or international. According to the analysis, there was a comparatively higher fall in private investment growth (from 5.9% in 2014 and 2015 to 3.1% in 2020 and 2021).

The Increase of public investments decreased from 3.3% in 2014 and 2015 to 1.6% in 2020 and 2021). Meanwhile, since the start of the collapse in commodity prices in 2014 and 2015, foreign direct investment (FDI) has generally decreased.

After the start of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in 2020 and 2021, it went from having annual average growth of 1.9% in 2014 and 2015 to a contraction of 3.7% in 2016 and 2019, and then an even bigger downturn at 5.1% per year.

Insufficient investments in emerging or established exploration and production oil fields, as well as dropping and unstable international pricing of extractives, are to blame for the decline in foreign direct investments (FDIs) that has occurred since 2016, according to the World Bank research.
