One headline right now is the Bank of England’s decision to hold its interest rate at 5.25%. The move comes ahead of a UK election and shows how political uncertainty can keep central banks cautious, even when inflation hits target levels. For African investors watching global rates, this signals that borrowing costs may stay high for a while, which could influence capital flows into emerging markets.

Beyond the UK, we track regional developments like new trade agreements in East Africa, currency reforms in West Africa, and fiscal policy changes in South Africa. Each story is broken down so you can see why it matters to businesses, consumers, and governments on the ground.
