Last week, SBM Intel published its quarterly Jollof Index. The index told a tale of two economies. In Nigeria, food prices dipped slightly despite long-term issues, while in Ghana, despite some stability, food prices rose slightly, especially in the Northern region. What is happening there?
Ghana’s producer inflation fell sharply to 3.2% in September 2025 from 30.5% a year earlier, showing reduced production costs and economic stability. However, the government’s treasury bill auction missed its target by 30%, signalling weak investor confidence even with stable returns. Why are investors turning away from Ghana’s treasury bills despite signs of easing inflation?
Cameroon faces rising unrest after the court upheld President Paul Biya’s eighth-term victory, rejecting opposition petitions and prompting deadly protests. Internet access has been cut, raising censorship concerns. How might the internet blackout affect public trust and political stability in Cameroon?
