Henley & Partners’ updated Global Investment Risk and Resilience Index assesses economies for international investors, revealing significant shifts in African rankings. The 2026 index places nine African nations within the global top 100, a substantial increase from three in the previous year, driven by factors like macroeconomic stability and governance quality. Mauritius leads the continent, ranking 61st globally, followed by Tanzania and Botswana. Senegal currently ranks 128th globally and 25th in Africa, trailing behind Côte d’Ivoire (108th) and Ghana (140th). The index considers global economic slowdown, geopolitical tensions, inflation, and climate risks when evaluating countries. Economies with strong institutional stability, diversified revenue streams, and lower commodity dependence are performing best, while others struggle with debt, political instability, and infrastructure deficits.
