• Over the last 10 years, we have seen a fundamental shift in Foreign Direct Investment from other Emerging Market Countries in South America and Asia to Africa, driven by PE Firms and Large Investment Banks.
• Poverty in Africa still remains a fact of life for its 1 billion inhabitants. However it does remain an investment opportunity with most of its 57 countries recording huge untapped natural resource deposits of Bauxite, Uranium, Gold, Diamonds, Copper, Iron Ore, Coal, Oil & Gas.
• All of which has largely driven the startling economic expansion seen with 14 African countries grow their GDP by more than 6% pa on average over the last 5 years
• Africa remains a highly profitable and under-penetrated market; with a huge growth potential as depicted by UNTAD's review in recent years, highlighting the profitability of private sector investment on the continent
• There is greater political stability with Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra Leone, Mauritius, South Africa, Tanzania, Botswana, Zambia, Kenya, Djibouti, Mozambique, Namibia all entering their 4th and 5th term elections - showing continuity with above.
