### Data and Projections Coverage and Vintage
- Data and projections presented are IMF staff estimates as of March 30, 2019, consistent with the projections underlying the April 2019 World Economic Outlook.
- The data and projections cover 45 sub-Saharan African countries in the IMF’s African Department.
- Data definitions follow established international statistical methodologies to the extent possible; in some cases, data limitations limit comparability across countries.
- Additional historical and forecast tables for key macroeconomic variables are posted online in the Background Paper and Expanded Statistical Appendix (backgroundpapers.ashx?la=en).

### Country Groupings and Classification Criteria
- Countries are aggregated into three non-overlapping groups:
  - Oil exporters: countries where net oil exports make up 30 percent or more of total exports.
  - Other resource-intensive countries: countries where nonrenewable natural resources represent 25 percent or more of total exports.
  - Non-resource-intensive countries: countries not classified as oil exporters or other resource-intensive countries.
- Countries are also aggregated into four overlapping groups:
  - Oil exporters
  - Middle-income countries
  - Low-income countries
  - Countries in fragile situations
- Income and fragility membership criteria:
  - Middle-income countries: per capita gross national income (average 2015–17) of more than US$995.00 (World Bank, Atlas method).
  - Low-income countries: average per capita gross national income in 2015–17 equal to or lower than US$995.00 (World Bank, Atlas method).
  - Countries in fragile situations: average CPIA scores of 3.2 or less in 2015–17 and/or presence of a peace-keeping or peace-building mission within the last three years.
- Regional cooperation memberships shown (listed on page 56 of source): CFA franc zone (WAEMU and CEMAC), COMESA, EAC-5 (includes Rwanda and Burundi for aggregates), ECOWAS, SADC, SACU.

### Methods of Aggregation
- Tables SA1 and SA3:
  - Country group composites for real GDP growth and broad money are arithmetic averages of individual countries, weighted by GDP valued at purchasing power parity as a share of total group GDP.
  - PPP weights source: World Economic Outlook (WEO) database.
- Table SA1:
  - Country group composites for consumer prices are geometric averages of individual countries, weighted by GDP at purchasing power parity as a share of total group GDP.
  - PPP weights source: WEO database.
- Tables SA2–SA4:
  - Country group composites, except for broad money, are arithmetic averages of individual countries, weighted by GDP in US dollars at market exchange rates as a share of total group GDP.

### Footnotes and Special Data Notes
- Zimbabwe: In February, 2019, Zimbabwe adopted a new local currency unit, the RTGS dollar, which has become the official unit of account. Efforts are underway to revise and update all national accounts series to the new RTGS dollar. Current data are based on IMF staff estimates of price and exchange rate developments in US (and RTGS) dollars. Staff estimates of US dollar values may differ from authorities’ estimates.
- Notes: “...” denotes data not available.
- Fiscal year data are flagged where applicable in tables.

- Median government debt and fiscal balances indicate substantial cross-country heterogeneity (median debt 29.5 in 2020; median overall fiscal balance –5.2 in 2020).
- Distinct divergence between oil-exporting and oil-importing country groups in debt levels and fiscal balances as shown above.
