Africa: continuity and change page 27
African countries face many problems and challenges. Most have suffered greatly since the early 1970s with the knock-on effects of the oil price rise in 1974–1975 and the subsequent
world recession. From 2007, African countries in different ways both benefited and suffered from soaring oil prices, high food prices and worldwide recession. Mounting debt and
frequent shortages of basic commodities due to a lack of foreign exchange are commonplace. Non-oil producers experience regular fuel shortages, preventing the movement of goods
and people and further compounding already serious economic problems. In cities, electric power cuts occur regularly, caused by the fuel shortages or inadequate maintenance of ageing
generating plants and power lines. The effects of prolonged power cuts on industry can be devastating.
