-
Following Malawi’s general election in mid-September, we will assess what the outcome means for political stability and the country’s economic outlook.
-
Protests following the disputed October 2024 elections in Mozambique prompted a severe economic downturn. Will the country’s political outlook support a sustained return to growth?
-
With Zambia looking to finalise its debt restructuring process, and with a general election on the horizon in August 2026, we outline our core views and what these mean for macro stability and the business environment.
-
We will assess the prospects for Zimbabwe's gold-backed currency (ZiG) and wider economic growth, and explore election scenarios as questions persist over whether Emmerson Mnangagwa will step down.
-
What is driving elevated political risks in the Horn of Africa, and is there any scope for greater stability in the coming years?
You will also have the chance to participate in a live Q&A session where you can pose any questions you may have.

In this webinar, we outline our core views for a selection of ‘mid-tier’ Sub-Saharan African markets and sub-regions, including: Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, and the Horn of Africa (Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Somalia).
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 protracted insecurity, policy uncertainty, and the impact of global volatility stemming from US tariffs.
Topics covered will include:
-
We will explore whether Lesotho's textile industry is at a heightened risk of becoming uncompetitive against regional peers after the imposition of US tariffs.
-
Following Malawi’s general election in mid-September, we will assess what the outcome means for political stability and the country’s economic outlook.
-
Protests following the disputed October 2024 elections in Mozambique prompted a severe economic downturn. Will the country’s political outlook support a sustained return to growth?
-
With Zambia looking to finalise its debt restructuring process, and with a general election on the horizon in August 2026, we outline our core views and what these mean for macro stability and the business environment.
-
We will assess the prospects for Zimbabwe's gold-backed currency (ZiG) and wider economic growth, and explore election scenarios as questions persist over whether Emmerson Mnangagwa will step down.
