Incomes in Sub-Saharan Africa are falling further behind the rest of the world amid a "tepid" economic recovery, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said on Friday, warning of risks from geopolitics, domestic instability and climate change. "When accounting for population growth, the income gap with the rest of the world is widening," the fund said in its biannual Regional Economic Outlook report, launched during its Spring Meetings this week in Washington. It noted that other developing countries saw real income per person more than triple since 2000, while they grew 75% in Sub-Saharan Africa and 35% in developed countries.
