What the reports say
Sierra Leone’s hard-won economic stability is under fresh strain as the global oil crisis, triggered by Middle East tensions, forces the government to revise its 2026 budget. Finance Minister Sheku Ahmed Fantamadi Bangura told Parliament on Friday that the surge in international oil prices has “necessitated a revision of the original 2026 macro‐fiscal framework” to protect citizens and preserve budget credibility.
