The ongoing conflict in Iran has caused a surge in oil prices, creating economic challenges for many African nations reliant on oil imports.

A Bloomberg Economics report indicates that rising oil prices, driven by geopolitical tensions, will benefit only a few sub-Saharan African economies like Angola and Nigeria, while most will suffer. Angola's current account could improve by 3.3% of GDP, and Nigeria's by 2.3%. Conversely, oil-importing nations like South Africa and the Democratic Republic of Congo may see significant declines in their current accounts. Higher oil prices could lead to weaker currencies and inflation, prompting potential interest rate hikes in affected countries.
