China’s Evolving Economic Engagement With Sub-Saharan Africa

Concerns have been raised over China’s slowing economy hitting sub-Saharan Africa‘s growth. Still emerging from the COVID pandemic, countries in the region have been hit by a sluggish global economy, high borrowing costs, worldwide inflation and a cost-of-living crisis.

In many cases, borrowing costs are still elevated, exchange-rate pressures persist, inflation is too high and political instability is a concern. It is important for authorities to guard against a premature relaxation of stabilisation policies, while also focusing on reforms.

China has forged deep economic ties with countries in sub-Saharan Africa, making it the region’s largest single country trading partner. But China’s recovery from the pandemic has been slowed recently owing to a property downturn and flagging demand for its manufactured goods.

This matters for Africa. According to IMF’s latest Regional Economic Outlook, a one percentage point drop in China’s growth rate could reduce average growth in sub-Saharan Africa by about 0.25 percentage points within a year. For oil exporters, the loss could be more significant.
