ENGLISH:

Real GDP in Africa is projected to contract by 1.7 percent in 2020,
dropping by 5.6 percentage points from the January 2020 pre-COVID-19
projection, if the virus has a substantial impact but of short duration.
If it continues beyond the first half of 2020, there would be a deeper
GDP contraction in 2020 of 3.4 percent, down by 7.3 percentage points
from the growth projected before the outbreak of COVID-19.

FRENCH:

Le PIB réel en Afrique devrait se contracter de 1,7 % en 2020, soit une
baisse de 5,6 points de pourcentage par rapport aux projections de
janvier 2020 qui précédaient l'apparition de la COVID-19, en supposant
que l'impact de la pandémie sera substantiel mais de courte durée. Si la
pandemie se poursuit au-delà du premier semestre de 2020, la contraction
du PIB en 2020 sera beaucoup plus marquée, de l'ordre de 3,4 %, soit une
baisse de 7,3 points de pour-centage par rapport à la croissance
projetée avant la pandémie de la COVID-19.
