  • Benefits of Diversified African Economies & Sub-Saharan Africa's Economic Outlook [simulcast]
  • November 29, 2023
  • This week on Straight Talk Africa, we are looking in-depth at Africa’s economy. In the last ten years the debt ratio has almost doubled in sub-Saharan Africa. The sluggish global economy coupled with worldwide inflation is pushing up borrowing and living costs. The International Monetary Fund says that as many as eight African countries require debt restructuring to “overcome a vicious funding squeeze.” What can African countries do to avoid sinking further into a debt crisis? Join Haydé Adams, and her guests Frannie Léautier Senior Partner and CEO SouthBridge Investments and Abebe Aemro Selassie Director of African Department at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) as they discuss how countries on the continent can shield themselves against economic distress.
