Abstract: Sub-Saharan Africa is a region characterized by economies with growing populations, rising per capita incomes, and increasing urbanization. Despite being markers for significant market growth, these traits also can be symptomatic of economic development struggles that jeopardize stability in trade relationships. For example, most Sub-Saharan African countries depend almost exclusively on revenues and foreign exchange from the export of a high-value commodity such as oil.
