Abstract

The purpose of the article was to ascertain any unfavorable effect of the global commodity price declines on sub-Saharan Africa¡¯s (SSA) productive sectors. The findings suggest that the global commodity price declines impacted SSA economies in term of trade, growth link, prices, and liquidity. The conclusion derived from the findings is that African economic output was unfavorably impacted significantly, albeit at varying degrees.
