This bulletin examines the extent to which international macro crises have affected private capital flows and investment positions in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Overall it paints a positive picture of increasing private sector capital flows, after a subdued period just after the onset of the global financial crisis of 2008–9. However, it also reports on the rapidly changing nature of these capital flows, with bond flows, international lending and portfolio flows all playing an increasingly important part in growing private capital.
