US Tariffs Could Shake African Economies, AfDB Warns

In a speech delivered in Abuja, AfDB President Akinwumi Adesina outlined the risks:

47 African countries face potential exposure to higher US tariffs;

Weaker currencies expected due to falling foreign exchange earnings;

Inflation to rise as costs of imported goods increase;

Debt pressure to grow as revenues shrink and debt-servicing costs climb;

Global trade shifts may reduce demand for African exports in Europe and Asia.
