The UK has maintained a long-standing relationship with Africa, historically focused on trade, investment, and development aid. However, the UK’s exit from the European Union has prompted a rethinking of its foreign economic policies, particularly toward Africa—a continent poised for significant economic growth. In 2023, Africa was seen as one of the fastest-growing regions in the world, with a collective GDP of over $3 trillion. Despite global economic challenges, Sub-Saharan Africa’s economy grew by an estimated 3.6% in 2023, with projections to reach around 4.1% by 2024 due to robust performance in key sectors like agriculture, energy, and telecommunications.
