According to reports from the African Development Bank, World Bank, and other sources, some of the fastest-growing economies include Nigeria, Senegal, and Rwanda. 

What are the key drivers behind this economic surge? Nigeria is currently the fastest-growing economy in Africa, with a projected growth of 11.2%. This growth is mainly driven by its expanding oil and gas sector, which is boosting exports and government revenues. 

Senegal follows with an 8.2% growth rate. The country benefits from political stability, increasing foreign investment, and the development of its energy sector. Economic reforms also made it easier to do business.
