{"product_id":"9781452785653","title":"Regional Economic Outlook, April 2008: Sub-Saharan Africa","description":"The region's prospects continue to be promising, but global developments pose increased risks to the outlook. Growth in sub-Saharan Africa should again average about 61\/2 percent in 2008 with oil exporters leading the way; meanwhile, growth in oil importers is expected to taper off, though only modestly. With food and energy prices still rising, inflation is projected to average about 81\/2 percent this year for countries in the region, setting aside Zimbabwe. Risks in 2008 are tilted to the downside, but the region is better placed today to withstand a worsening of the global environment.","brand":"INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176801583344,"sku":"9781452785653","price":15.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781452785653_p0.jpg?v=1763844891","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781452785653","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
