Our new Africa Macroeconomic Performance and Outlook (MEO) 2025 report highlights the continent’s?strengthening economic growth amid global challenges. Unveiled on the sidelines of the 38th Ordinary Session of the African Union Assembly in Addis Ababa, #AfricaMEO2025 projects real GDP growth to accelerate to 4.1 percent in 2025 and 4.4 percent in 2026. The growth is attributed to economic reforms, declining inflation, and improved fiscal and debt positions.? The 2025 report identifies 24 African nations, including Djibouti, Niger, Rwanda, Senegal, and South Sudan, as poised to exceed 5 percent GDP growth in 2025. Additionally, Africa, with 12 of the 20 fastest-growing economies, remains the world’s second-fastest-growing region after Asia. The MEO, published by the Bank biannually in the first and fourth quarters, responds to a critical need for timely economic data amid global uncertainty. It serves policymakers, development partners, global investors, researchers, and other stakeholders.? Access the full report: https://bit.ly/4hZsMfv?#AUSummit

This is a tsunami-earthquake-storm kind of leadership that Trump has shut down usaid. gov. This is unprecedented in all ways because he is telling the world that they have “no rights” for America to fund them, and influence them, via soft power.? Yet, this may even be a good outcome if African leaders can lead. Those aid agencies distort markets and cause harm to nation’s abilities to develop sustainable solutions. You create a product with a clear market traction in the healthcare, education or agro area. Then 2 years later, an aid agency comes and makes a similar product FREE. You struggle and shut down, and in 3 years, the aid funds are gone, and the people return back to the floor level. So, if Trump is cutting these funds, people should not panic. It may even be good. What needs to happen is for African governments to create a database to know citizens who need help, as local companies rise to capture opportunities without the aid agencies’ distortions. Citizens who need help and cannot afford products should be supported even as local companies fill the market voids. Africa has histories of dealing with such issues for centuries; return back to them. In my village of Ovim, there is a framework which has enabled the rise of the free market and support of the vulnerable so that people do not go to bed on empty stomachs. In Agbongele Ugwunta, it is an ordinance till TODAY that any crop grown there belongs to the community. The idea is that you can have a big farm which you run and make money, but there is a chance that not everyone can afford the produce. To help those who may be unable to pay, you willingly go to Agbongele and plant things and nurture things knowing that your fellow citizens will use those things. It is an abomination to harvest and sell anything in Agbongele as it is for in-need consumption. While in the village, I did plant and was proud to see it grow, knowing that one day someone will need it to avoid hunger! So, our governments can have a structure to ensure the free market while covering the needs of the vulnerable citizens. Trump is giving Africa a huge opportunity and this is a time for a reset.
