How to read this dashboard
High inflation + high rates — monetary tightening cycle; rising cost of capital and often FX pressure
High debt/GDP — elevated refinancing risk; watch for IMF programme announcements or restructuring
Fixed/pegged FX zones (WAEMU/CEMAC) — limited day-to-day FX volatility but devaluation tail risk
Strong growth + low inflation — macro sweet spot; favourable conditions for investment and credit expansion
Negative GDP growth — economy in contraction; watch for fiscal responses, political shifts, or commodity shocks
