The Company’s Focus on Africa
As Africa marks half a century since independence from colonialism. Africa’s progress is real, dramatic and, by now, well established. The International Monetary Fund says that since 2003, GDP across sub-Saharan Africa’s 48 countries has raised an average of 5% to 7% per year. In the past decade, 6 of the 10 globally fastest growing countries were African. Currently 5 African countries are outgrowing China whereas 21 will beat India.

Africa is in the midst of historic transition, and it is forecasted that during the next few decades’ hundreds of millions of Africans will likely be lifted out of poverty. According to industry analyst Informal Telecoms &Media, by 2016 there will be over one billion cell phones in use on the continent, giving nearly every African access to that most essential tool of the 21st century According to McKinsey & Co., by 2020 a youth surge propelled by the world’s highest birthrates will raise Africa’s population from one billion in 2009 to two billion in 2050

The world’s emerging economic powerhouses are increasingly making direct foreign investment in Africa, with China in the lead. Two-way trade with Africa often in infrastructure for resource swaps that have given the continent an infrastructure makeover that runs from roads, ports and railways to airports, hospitals and dams hit $166 billion in The U.S, long Africa’s biggest trading partner recorded $126 billion. Also in pursuit of Africa’s oil and gas, coal, timber, minerals, and farmlands are India, Brazil, Malaysia, Turkey and the Gulf States in particular, Mozambique’s offshore Rovuma Block has higher natural gas reserves than all of Libya and Ghana has as much oil as Kuwait. The continent has 60% of the world’s unused arable land.
