Incomes in Sub-Saharan Africa are falling further behind the rest of the world amid a "tepid" economic recovery, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said on Friday, warning of risks from geopolitics, domestic instability and climate change.
The IMF earlier this week said the region's economy would grow 3.8 percent this year, up from 3.4 percent in 2023, as it begins to emerge from four years of shocks, from the Covid-19 pandemic to Russia's invasion of Ukraine and rising global interest rates.
