About the report
The 2026 African Economic Outlook (AEO 2026) report has been prepared against a backdrop of increased geopolitical fragmentation and trade tensions, regional conflicts and declining international financial flows. Against this backdrop, the 2026 AEO calls for a fundamental rethinking of Africa’s development financing and policy management. The theme of the 2026 AEO, ‘Mobilizing Africa’s Development Financing at Scale in a Fragmented World’, underscores the urgency of the shift from fragmented, policy responses towards coordinated strategies that can unlock the continent’s capital, at scale, for its development.
