South Africa, along with Nigeria, Egypt, Morocco and Kenya are projected to raise borrowing costs in the next two weeks. Monetary authorities in nations such as Ghana and Angola, where inflation is on a downswing are predicted to hold.

Average inflation expectations for the year stand at 6.3%, well above the central bank’s 4.5% target.

Interest increases is what's causing these banks to become unstable in the first place.
