Africa-Press – Angola. <\/strong><\/span>Rising fuel and food prices look set to stoke an \u201cinevitable\u201d rise in civil unrest, with developing middle-income countries such as Brazil or Egypt particularly at risk, a report by a risk consultancy said.<\/b><\/p>\n

Three quarters of nations expected to be at high-risk or extreme risk of civil unrest by the fourth quarter of 2022 were middle-income countries, as defined by the World Bank, Verisk Maplecroft said in an update to its political risk monitor.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnlike low-income countries, they were rich enough to offer social protection during the pandemic, but now struggle to maintain high social spending that is vital to the living standards of large sections of their populations,\u201d the report found.<\/p>\n

Argentina, Tunisia, Pakistan and Philippines were also among the countries to watch in the next six months, the authors said, pointing to their high dependency on food and energy imports.<\/p>\n

Russia\u2019s war in Ukraine has accelerated a rise in food prices, which hit an all-time record in February and again in March. Energy prices also rose sharply. Read full storyO\/R<\/p>\n

\u201cWith no resolution of the conflict in sight, the global cost of living crisis will continue deep into 2023,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n

Lebanon, Senegal, Kenya and Bangladesh face similar pressures.<\/p>\n

The report pointed to Sri Lanka and Kazakhstan as examples of middle income countries that have already suffered unrest this year. The former saw rising food and fuel prices contribute to escalating tensions, while an attempt to cut fuel subsidies sparked protests in Kazakhstan. Read full story<\/p>\n

Civil unrest could hamper a potential economic recovery but also deter investors focused on environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors, it said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome countries risk falling into a vicious cycle, whereby worsening governance and social indicators make them ESG investment pariahs, impeding the inflows needed to improve economic performance and address societal needs.\u201d<\/p>\n

The report found that more than 50% of the almost 200 countries covered by the index have experienced an increase in civil unrest since the COVID-19 pandemic hit.<\/p>\n
