African Business Review takes a look at one expert's view of how Africa's economy will shape up in the next year.We discussed Africa's economic prospects for 2011 with expert Jean Phillipe Stijns, a co-author of the African Economic Report and Economist on the Europe, Middle Eastern and Africa desk at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

The OECD is one of the partners that work on the African Economic Outlook report, which produced its tenth edition this year and its second online edition through www.AfricanEconomicOutlook.org.
