Sub-Saharan Africa growth to slow to 4 pct in 2015: World Bank

ACCRA (Reuters) - The World Bank cut its forecast for gross domestic product growth for sub-Saharan Africa to 4.0 pct in 2015 from 4.5 pct in 2014 due to fall in oil and other commodity prices. "Despite strong headwinds, sub-Saharan Africa is still experiencing growth .... The end of the commodity super-cycle has provided a window of opportunity to push ahead with the next wave of structural reforms," Makhtar Diop, the World Bank vice president for Africa said in a statement.
