    L’Afrique représente environ 3 % du produit intérieur brut mondial. Il n’est donc pas surprenant que le poids du continent dans le secteur de l’énergie soit très faible, compte tenu des liens très étroits entre économie et énergie. Selon la dernière édition de la BP Statistical Review of World Energy, publiée en juin 2022 et portant sur l’année 2021, la part de l’Afrique dans la consommation mondiale d’énergie primaire était de 3,4 % l’an dernier (a) (b).

    Oil dominates Nigeria’s economy- “Africa’s Giant”. Oil revenues are both a blessing and a curse: a blessing because they are the single most important contributor to government revenues; a curse because, through the Dutch Disease, they undermine the productivity and competitiveness of other non-oil sectors, primarily agriculture and agri-processing; and manufacturing, two major sources of non-oil employment and incomes.

    The world food price index collected for the last 60 years by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) hit its highest record in March, declining gently in April. Pandemic, war and death in Ukraine, and droughts in the last 2 years… Such a combination looks apocalyptical. Now it is adding global hunger risks, because of the food price crisis.
