Abstract
International trade is the exchange of goods and services across different countries that mainly involves the government of that country and usually represents a sizable amount of a country's gross domestic product. However, international trade is not the only contributing factor affecting the GDP of a country. The other factors that affect GOP include investments, government consumption, foreign direct investments, inflation rate, profit & capital gains and tax. The forecast for growth in sub-Saharan Africa is predicted to be positive due to its room for growth but is uncertain due to its political and institutional constraints (Global Economic Outlook, 2016)
