Sommario/riassunto

This report by the European Investment Bank explores the financial conditions and challenges facing Africa in 2023, amid global economic instability exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical tensions such as Russia's invasion of Ukraine. It highlights the impact of high inflation and tightening financial conditions on the continent, leading to increased poverty and difficulties in accessing finance. The report provides an analysis of financial market trends, the performance of the banking sector, and the state of bond markets in Africa. It also addresses issues of gender inequality in finance and the importance of climate investment. The report aims to support African financial sectors in fostering resilient private sector development through enhanced global financial integration. The intended audience includes policymakers, financial institutions, and development organizations involved in African economic advancement.
