Economists warn Africa faces prolonged crunch
Economists and asset managers warn sub-Saharan Africa’s economic crisis will persist until 2026, with revised GDP growth projections for South Africa and Nigeria due to war-driven fuel price hikes and food security risks. The Strait of Hormuz’s disruption, a key route for energy and fertilizers, exacerbates inflation and instability.
