The International Monetary Fund (IMF) director for Africa Antoinette Sayeh speaks at a press conference in Harare, Zimbabwe, Oct. 23, 2014. Presenting the 2014 IMF regional economic outlook for Sub-Saharan Africa, Sayeh said the unprecedented Ebola outbreak in West Africa, which has claimed 4,500 lives, will significantly hurt the economy of the three hard-hit countries -- Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone, but the impact on the continent's overall growth is minimal.
