Multiple outlets report that economic activity across parts of Africa strengthens in recent months, alongside a decline in energy prices. Moneyweb and Financial Post both cite purchasing managers’ indexes (PMIs) showing improvement during June, indicating that business conditions are recovering across countries including South Africa and Kenya. The reports describe the bounce-back as broad-based, with improving sentiment and activity linked to lower energy costs. Both sources also point to the waning economic impact of the Iran conflict as a potential tailwind. They say the easing of uncertainty and reduced costs may continue to support growth into the coming months, though no specific forecasts or figures are provided in the shared excerpts. Overall, the coverage attributes the improvement primarily to falling energy prices and improving PMIs, with the Iran conflict’s economic toll dissipating as an additional supportive factor.
