This webinar outlines our core views for a selection of ‘mid-tier’ Sub-Saharan African markets, including: Senegal, Cameroon, Namibia, Botswana, Rwanda, and Uganda.
Broadly speaking, SSA’s smaller economies will continue to perform well in 2025, especially compared to regional heavyweights South Africa and Nigeria.
However, this upbeat outlook masks underlying weaknesses and risks that we believe will persist in the coming years, stemming from political ambiguity, regional insecurity, rising fiscal pressures, and global economic uncertainty.
Topics covered will include:
- In Senegal, a recent audit revealed much larger historical budget deficits, leading to a reassessment of the country’s economic and fiscal outlook.
- With presidential elections in Cameroon slated for October 2025, we will explore potential transition scenarios and their impacts on policy continuity and the economic outlook.
- After 2024's economic malaise due to weak global diamond demand, Botswana's new government is looking to address structural growth constraints.
- Offshore hydrocarbon discoveries could make Namibia a regional outperformer, but rising opposition support may disrupt long-term policy continuity.
- In Uganda, a slowdown in growth driven by reduced domestic demand and trade challenges will be compounded by rising threats to political stability.
- Strong growth in Rwanda will be overshadowed by the ongoing conflict with the DRC, risking aid, investment, and economic stability.
