<br/><br/> The objective of this paper is to investigate the determinants of economic resilience in sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries. The analyses focus on the roles played by demographic structures, exchange rate regimes and institutional quality. We use the panel data technique for 22 SSA countries during the period 1996–2018 via the system GMM method of estimation. The results of the analyses indicate that sectoral diversity, industrialisation, trade openness, human capital and population growth rate are determinants of economic resilience. Moreover, demographic trends, institutional quality and exchange rate regimes, when considered, greatly explain resilience in SSA countries. Policy implications are discussed.- Reproduced <br/><br/>https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40847-023-00258-9<br/>
