in berlin welcome to the program. so far in africa is set to record the slowest economic growth of any global region this year as it struggles to bounce back from a pandemic triggered downturn the international monetary fund says the region's economic region's economy is on track to expand by 3.4 percent in 2021 that's well below the global forecast of 5 and a half percent the i.m.f. is urging wealthy countries to do more to help african nations access vaccines and financing the global health crisis and its economic fallout is thought to have plunged 32000000 people on the continent into extreme poverty last year. let's discuss this further with our correspondent. who joins us from the kenyan capital of nairobi have you on the program as ever just explain to us why the

sub-saharan economy is lagging behind the rest of the world. well wrong 3.4 percent is really quite slowly but if you look at the fact is the bigger factor here is still of an demick because access to the exceeds in sub-saharan africa is going to be slaughtered compared to the rest of the world and we're also seeing a fact as a player as well previously before part of it every week sub-saharan africa was exporting much and as good as what about 6500000000 dollars is to the rest of the wild but at the same cannot be said for exports to other countries in sub-saharan africa or what we might call in traffic a treat and so the fact that now african countries and are treating as much with the rest of the world is still going to affect its growth even and as its juggles to pull through cost covered $19.00 the i.m.f.

if you look at a country like china the i.m.f. says that it's likely to project about 7.6 percent growth in the year 2021 while countries like if you are these going to be a growth of about 0 point one percent so easily even across sub-saharan africa but what we can say is that some countries really grow faster that then and there is according to what the economist economist the saying joy during bear and nairobi thanks a lot for bringing as of today. the next diamond has unveiled its 1st fully electric luxury car as the battle for battery powered supremacy intensifies the mess eighty's e.q. s. enters the market as traditional comic is strive to make up lost ground on tesla the new model has a range of 770 kilometers and fast charging capabilities but it of course want to
