Between November 2025 and early April 2026, Africa experienced an unprecedented wave of regulatory change. In Nigeria, this included major tax reforms, the transition from FIRS to NRS, a ₦40.7 trillion revenue target, banking recapitalisation deadlines, and stricter immigration enforcement. Across the continent, countries exited the FATF grey list while strengthening AML/CFT rules, Ghana introduced climate risk regulations, and AfCFTA advanced trade integration. Data protection enforcement also intensified, alongside growing momentum for AI regulation.
This guide tracks each development chronologically, identifies the specific compliance obligations arising during this period, and provides a practical Action Matrix for Moroom Africa’s clients and partners.
