THE International Monetary Fund is anticipating an increase in funding support requests from Africa as US President Donald Trump’s tariffs and aid cuts reduce options.
“We live in a shock-prone world,” Abebe Aemro Selassie, director of the African Department of the Washington-based lender, told reporters Tuesday in Senegal’s capital, Dakar. “The poorest and least resilient countries are increasingly turning to institutions like ours. I don’t rule out” more African countries seeking support, he said.
