The IMF described economic activity in Morocco and sub-Saharan Africa as resilient despite global uncertainty. It expects Morocco’s economy to grow 4.5% in 2026 and 4.2% in 2027, with agriculture, services and infrastructure investment supporting growth, while urging continued reforms to education and job creation, especially for young people. The Fund raised its sub-Saharan Africa growth forecast by 0.2 percentage point, to 4.5% for both 2026 and 2027, and said it is prepared to help the region manage geopolitical strains. Separately, the IMF warned that resilient global financial markets still face elevated stability risks, including an AI-driven correction, rising sovereign bond yields and cyber incidents; vulnerabilities at weaker banks and nonbank financial institutions could amplify market stress.

Africa CDC and Congolese officials say they cannot account for more than $700 million in Ebola response funding that donors sent directly to international aid organizations, not the government. Only about a third of partners provided financial records, leaving authorities unable to assess how much was spent; officials stressed the reporting gap does not prove the money was stolen and warned noncompliant groups could face sanctions.
