Growth in Sub Sharan Africa is expected to soften to 4.3%, in 2026, a 0.3 percentage point lower than the projections in January 2026, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has revealed in its April 2026 Sub-Saharan Africa Update.
It is projecting an uptick in median inflation to 5.0% by the end of 2026.
However, there is significant heterogeneity in the outlook, with growth accelerating among many oil exporting countries because of stronger export revenues and higher government spending, but decreasing for low-income countries and fragile states, many of whom are oil importers and have limited buffers.
