Explanation: The economies of the West African countries suffer because their imports exceed their exports. They also are heavily in debt. African nations south of the Sahara collectively owed more than $200 billion in 2005. About $14 billion is needed each year just to pay interest on the debt. That money is not available to use for other purposes.
<span>The statement that is
true about the West African Nations is that their imports and exports are
fairly balanced. Even though the West Africa was struck with Ebola virus and
their economy plummeted, according to the African Development Bank Group,
growth is expected to slow in 5% in 2015 and will rebound to 6.1% in 2016.</span>
