Russian Oil Price Cap Could Save Africa Billions: Yellen

Speaking at a co-working space that helps women and young entrepreneurs in Dakar, Senegal on Friday, Yellen said Russia's war against Ukraine is hitting Africans particularly hard by exacerbating food insecurity and putting an unnecessary drag on the continent's economy.
