Dear Media Colleagues ,

The United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) invites you to attend its’ Price Watch Centre Webinar for Media on Wednesday, 20 July 2022, at 3:00 pm EAT (Addis Ababa time/GMT+3), which aims to present and discuss the impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict of commodity and food prices in Africa.

Recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic was met with much hope for African countries and for the global economy which had undergone substantial disruptions in the global supply chains. The prospects now are largely affected by the impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, that have triggered a global shortage of energy and goods to the rest of world. The combination of the crises has tarnished the economic outlook and growth forecasts for the years to come.

Commodity markets provide African economies with a source for revenue while the subsistence of the population hinges on the development on local markets. The analysis of the price dynamics on both markets will help shed light on some of the consequences of the Russia-Ukraine conflict on individual economies of African countries and on the continent as a whole .
