@kenyanwalstreetThe International Monetary Fund (IMF) has updated its African economic growth projections in the October 2026 World Economic Outlook, forecasting Sub-Saharan Africa's economy to expand by 4.5% in 2026, above the global average of 3.1%. » Africa's fastest-growing economy: South Sudan leads at 10.5% in 2026, despite a sharp slowdown from 41.4% in 2025. Ethiopia follows at 9.2%, while Rwanda is projected to grow 7.4%. » West Africa: Guinea leads at 7.2%, followed by Benin and Niger at 7.0% each. Nigeria's growth accelerates to 4.2%, while Ghana slows to 5.7%. » North Africa: Sudan leads at 7.0%, followed by Egypt at 5.1%. Libya faces the region's sharpest slowdown, from 15.9% in 2025 to 3.3% in 2026. » East Africa: Ethiopia, Rwanda, Uganda (6.2%) and Tanzania (6.0%) outpace Kenya, whose growth slows marginally to 4.5%, matching the Sub-Saharan African average. » Southern Africa: Zambia's growth accelerates to 5.6%, while Botswana rebounds from a 0.7% contraction to 4.4% growth. South Africa remains among the slowest-growing economies at 1.0%. » Weakest performers: Equatorial Guinea is projected to contract by 1.7%, while São Tomé and Príncipe grows just 0.4%. Mozambique and Seychelles are both forecast at 1.0%. The IMF highlights stronger policy frameworks and structural reforms supporting parts of Africa, while elevated energy prices, geopolitical disruptions, tighter financing conditions and external vulnerabilities weigh on fuel-importing economies.
