> The IMF expects sub-Saharan Africa to grow 4.5% in both 2026 and 2027, but warns that mounting pressures could weaken the recovery. Higher inflation, debt-servicing costs, declining aid and severe weather risks linked to El Niño may add to the strain. It urged governments to strengthen public finances and invest in resilience.
