In 2016，global economic growth slowed，with trade and investment activities in the doldrums，and commodity prices fell sharply，leading to declining exports in Africa. Private consumption and investment were the main contributors to economic growth in Africa. Africa’s oil and mineral exporters were generally hit by a greater impact and reduced to recession or downturn. At the same time，a small number of African countries，such as Ethiopia，Senegal and Côte d’Ivoire，have achieved rapid economic growth. These countries are committed to economic diversification，improvement of the macroeconomic policy system and institutional environment to speed up the pace of economic reform，in effort to build a strong endogenous power. With the Western world’s reflection on globalization and contrarian，the future of African economic growth needs to rely more on endogenous power，industrialization and urbanization through pursuing new development momentum while getting rid of excessive dependence on primary exports and improving economic diversification.
