It is South Africa Top 12 largest and strongest African economies Africa economic report won’t have its zest if it does not have who is who of African economies. Like year, the top 12 largest African economies are the same with some slide modification at the top of the chart. The Republic of South Africa remains the biggest and strongest African economy with a GDP $ 272.2 billion and the second largest and strongest African economy is Nigeria with a GDP of $ 141.3 billion the third is Algeria with a GDP of $ 137.2 billion and the fourth largest and biggest African economy is Egypt with a GDP of $ 111.8 billion. The changes noted in the classification this year are the great leap forward of Angola and war ravaged Sudan. Angola, which is recovering from 25 years civil war, has over taken the Kingdom of Morocco as the fifth largest African economy with a GDP of $ 66.1 billion. Morocco is now the sixth largest African economy with a GDP of $ 61.1 billion; Libya is the seventh largest African economy with a GDP of $ 56.0 billion. Sudan is the eighth largest African economy with a GDP of $ 45.7 billion, Tunisia is ninth with a GDP of $ 33.1 billion, Zimbabwe is tenth with a GDP of $ 26.4 billion, Kenya is eleventh with a GDP of $ 24.8 billion and Cameroon is twelfth with a GDP of $ 20.1 billion. Meanwhile, Ivory Coast, the erstwhile largest and strongest French-speaking black African economy is thirteenth with a GDP of $ 18.7 billion. http://www.africanpath.com/p_blogEntry.cfm?blogEntryID=606 |

Any economy that is entirely dependent on commodities is NOT strong, so Botswana is out.

A lot depends on the parameters used. It seems size is the yardstick here. the link you provided had a another parameter, namely per ca pita. For Africa I would be satisfied if the attribute of strong economy is matched by equity of benefit to the citizens. This would remove SA and Nigeria from their perches and instead allow Botswana as a stronger and effective economy.

Idiot, size of an economy is not measured on currency and exchange rate but on Gross Domestic Product. Besides Ghanaian government had to cut some digits in their currency a while ago. The South African Rand is the 10th most traded currency in the world and the Johannesburg Stock Exchange is the largest stock exchange in Africa. |

4.South Africa accounts for almost 25% of the GDP of the entire African continent, with an economy more than twice the size of the second biggest – Algeria (World Bank) The other interesting stat is that South Africa consumes just 4% of total land area in Africa. |

@OP
You will have to expand on what you mean by "Strongest"?
Size? Reliability? Growth? FDI attractiveness? Populace lifestyle?
