Africa-Press – South-Sudan. South Sudan’s economy is set to surge nearly 25% this year, as its main oil pipeline returns to operation after last year’s damage, according to Visual Capitalist, citing projections from the IMF’s latest World Economic Outlook.
While Europe is forecast to see sluggish growth, several developing countries are on pace to grow at more than two times faster than the global average
From South Sudan to Ethiopia, export strength is fueling key economies in 2025.
However, South Sudan’s economy remains fragile. Conflict in neighboring Sudan has the potential to disrupt its oil flows, which are responsible for about 90% of the country’s revenues.
Similarly, Libya and Guyana are expected to see strong growth due to oil exports. In particular, Guyana’s oil industry is expected to generate $2.5 billion in revenue by 2025, rising to $10 billion by 2030, thanks to a massive discovery of oil off its coastline.
As we can see, Ireland is the sole country among developed countries to make the list, driven largely by front-loading of pharmaceutical exports given Trump’s tariffs.
Meanwhile, India’s economy is expected to expand by 6.6%, ultimately shrugging off trade tensions. Despite facing an effective tariff rate between 33% and 36%—one of the highest across countries—goods demand from the U.S. accounts for an estimated 2% of the country’s GDP.
