[World Bank] Bangui -- According to a World Bank report published today, the Central African economy has remained stagnant, with GDP growth estimated to register 0.7% in 2024, before gradually rebounding to around 1.6% on average between 2025 and 2026. This period of stagnation is due primarily to the repeated fuel shortages experienced since 2022 and to the severe power outages that have occurred in Bangui throughout at least the first half of 2024.
