The African Development Bank (AfDB) has announced that Africa’s overall economic growth is expected to slow in 2025 as countries face mounting external pressures.
Rising global interest rates, slowing Chinese demand, and climate-related disruptions are combining to put additional strain on African economies. Several nations, including Ghana, Ethiopia and Zambia, continue to face debt restructuring challenges.
The AfDB urged governments to accelerate investment in agriculture, clean energy and technology sectors to prevent long-term stagnation.
Despite the slowdown, the Bank highlighted “pockets of resilience” in East Africa and parts of West Africa where diversified economies and strong service sectors remain stable.
