Kenya, DRC, Ethiopia growth forecasts trimmed as Fitch warns of Tanzania’s fragility

Fitch has lowered its growth forecasts for Kenya to 5.0% and for DRC to 5.2%, while Ethiopia's is now at 8.0%. These revisions are attributed to expected inflation increases, projected at 5.5% in Kenya, 5.0% in DRC, and 13.5% in Ethiopia. Fitch also warned that Tanzania is particularly vulnerable due to its reliance on fuel and fertilizer imports from Gulf Cooperation Council countries.
