International Monetary Fund: Direct more cash into infrastructure

More resources should be injected into energy, roads and water to elevate Africa’s infrastructure, a senior official at the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) has said.

In an interview with Business Beat, the director of IMF’s African department, Antoinette Sayeh, said while the continent has put “tremendous efforts” in these sectors, there is more to be done as the region is still grappling with power blackouts, poor roads and insufficient access to clean water.
