Why Africa
Why Africa?
African economies are growing at a tremendous rate, overtaking even China’s decade-long double-digit annual growth. Six of the world’s ten fastest-growing economies are now located in Africa — and the continent is expected to sustain global growth throughout the 21st century.
Outlook 01
Global Economic Growth Hub
African economies are growing at a tremendous rate, overtaking even China, which had led the world economic race with its sustained decade-long double-digit annual growth rate. Six out of ten of the world’s fastest economies are currently located in Africa, with its other economies trailing not too far behind.
The continent promises to sustain global economic growth and recovery efforts throughout the 21st century, providing steady and lucrative fruits only to those brave enough to pluck them.
Outlook 02
The World’s Gold Chest
Contrary to common knowledge, Africa is rich — incredibly rich in natural resources and all sorts of precious minerals. The continent single-handedly holds most of the world’s natural reserves.
All can be found there: gold, diamonds, copper, oil, timber or precious stones. You name it, Africa has it, and in head-spinning, outrageously disproportionate quantities.
All the world’s economic powers, including China, heavily rely on Africa’s resources to fuel their domestic industries, and their exploitation has already secured untold wealth to many Chinese businessmen.
Outlook 03
Africa, the Next Chindia
Africa is a vast land inhabited by a very young population. While the average Chinese person has a mature age of 40 years old, most African people are teenagers no older than 15. The continent is therefore capable of supplying the world with the youngest, most dynamic and by far cheapest labour force, expected to account for more than half of the world population by 2050.
That makes Africa, in a mere three decades, the world’s largest and fastest-growing market. Just like the 20th century belonged to China, the 21st century will be Africa’s.
Only the wisest business leaders will recognise the importance of an early implementation in this virgin market, at a time when there is virtually no existing competition. Africa is the prize of the world — and, as they say, early birds get the first worms.
