Iran Conflict Increases African Debt Costs

The ongoing conflict involving Iran is exacerbating the debt costs for African nations, which were already struggling with post-pandemic economic pressures. Borrowing expenses are rising significantly, making it more challenging for these countries to manage their financial obligations. This situation adds another layer of economic instability to the continent, which is still recovering from the global financial shockwaves of recent years. The increased debt burden could hinder development and economic growth across various African economies.
