Ethiopia is counting votes after Monday’s election, which was disrupted in parts of the Oromo and Amhara regions and skipped Tigray entirely. Based on how 2021 went, final results will likely take about three weeks, and Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s party is expected to win big again.
Morocco has just been named Africa’s top industrial economy for the first time, while South Africa keeps slipping down the list. West Africa’s central bank is selling government bonds this week, Mauritania has switched on emergency measures over Ebola fears, and Kenya’s president heads to South Africa tomorrow.
Today’s Africa Intelligence Brief covers the continent’s finance, markets, economy, and politics. We pulled it together from English, French, Arabic, Portuguese, Swahili, and Afrikaans sources.
