We have recently upgraded our view on Chinese industrial prospects in 2026: we now think value-added industrial output will grow by 5.0%.

However, we attribute this one-month drop, which subsequent months’ recovery have ...

Robust Chinese economic growth, coupled with more upbeat global copper and cobalt prices, presents upside risks to the Congolese economy's medium-term real GDP growth.

Uganda's economy continues to demonstrate strong growth, with real GDP expected to rise by 6.5% in 2025, up from 6.0% in 2024.
