Tunisia
Agri Centre Product 2025 is Tunisia’s proof point: if sector credit and GVA rise into 2026 while EMB and TAN remain constructive, food CPI volatility should compress and risk premia ease, signalling agriculture’s shift to a macro stabiliser.
Gambia
Youth-led agribusiness in The Gambia converts micro-scale training into bankable cash flows within a constrained macro-policy setting. Watch BZ=F and CC=F for cost-pass-through pressure; monitor FM and MSCI for broader frontier reform sentiment.
Mozambique
Mozambique’s resilience strategy targets measurable sovereign-risk compression via institutional reform and enhanced disaster-response systems. GDP growth stands at 2.5% in 2025, inflation at 4.9%, and debt at 101% of GDP. EMB and AFK show tightening spreads as BZ=F and NG=F reflect LNG volatility
South Africa
Rand [USDZAR=X] trades near 17.20 while JSE All Share [.JALSH] stays muted as investors gauge Eskom repair, fiscal restraint, and inflation control shaping South Africa’s path to sustained capital inflows through 2026.
Cameroon
NOFIA’s provisional administration signals structural weak-points in CEMAC’s shallow-credit architecture. Monitor MFI deposit growth, NPL ratios and 3-5-year sovereign yields; tickers XAFUSD, FMFRONTIER highlight exposure across governance-premium-sensitized frontier credit markets.
Tanzania
Tanzania’s resilience drive targets lower CPI variance and tighter local duration, as KC=F and CT=F stabilise export cycles, XAUUSD supports reserves, and reduced seasonality eases pressure on TZS=X despite DXY strength.
Burkina Faso
Burkina Faso’s procurement reform tightens fiscal credibility as WAEMU yields compress and XAUUSD=X stability underpins revenue resilience amid euro-peg dynamics transmitted through EURUSD=X and regional funding conditions.
Nigeria
Nigeria’s curve tightens as CPI moderates and USDNGN=X steadies near ₦1,470; local bonds rally while CL=F frames oil risk and EEM tracks EM beta, with NTB and 10-year yields pricing a disciplined policy path into 2026.
Algeria’s 2026 plan targets a 12.4% deficit on an implied USD 323bn GDP while reserves at USD 67.8bn buffer risk; Brent BZ=F stability and EM spreads via EMB, alongside DZD=X behaviour, will validate credibility over the next four to six quarters.
Tunisia
Industrial capex tops TND 1.45bn YTD as disinflation steadies policy at 7.5%; frontier spreads track global risk tone with EMB and US10Y:IND watching FX stability against EURUSD=X and oil sensitivity via CL=F.
Morocco
Morocco’s blue economy at 3.8% of GDP tightens funding costs as EMB narrows and MAD=X stabilises; port scale and services inflows buffer terms of trade while BZ=F volatility remains the key external variable.
Global Markets
Lower front-end yields and a positive 10s–2s slope support duration (TLT) and quality credit (LQD), while a softer dollar aids EM beta (EEM) if break-evens stay contained; oil (CL=F) and gold (XAUUSD) hinge on real-yield and growth dynamics.
