The recovery in the Maghreb sub region, particularly of Libya, and the consistent economic growth in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries were significant contributing factors. For 2013, the average real GDP growth rate of the region is projected at 4.4 per cent.

Major energy exporters in the region, namely GCC countries, are on a stable recovery path which was enabled by an expansionary fiscal and monetary policy mix worsening foreign exchange constraint.
