# The World Bank says Sub-Saharan Africa’s economy is expected to grow by 3.8-percent this year, up from 3.5-percent in April. This is driven by stable inflation and exchange rates in countries like Ethiopia. The Bank’s Africa Pulse report notes that improved conditions have boosted private consumption and investment. Growth is projected to average 4.4-percent over the next two years, though fiscal tightening could slow recovery. Ethiopia, Nigeria, and Ivory Coast recorded the strongest upward revisions.
