摘要：The aim of this study is to appraise the capacity of infrastructure stocks in Sub-Saharan Africa in comparison to six other developing regions of the world over the period 1996-2015. This is with a view to ensuring that policy makers in Sub-Saharan Africa make infrastructure development choices that are concrete, efficient and growth-stimulating. To achieve this objective, the study uses a graphical approach involving line graphs as well as bar charts in appraising the infrastructure indicators. The findings reveal that a clear gap exists in the infrastructure capacity of the Sub-Saharan African region vis-à-vis the other developing regions. Hence, it is critical for countries in the region to address these shortfalls for the purpose of unlocking the region‘s productive potential so as to optimize the potentials of infrastructure in stimulating economic growth.
