Could Sub-Saharan Africa Be the Next China?
The document discusses the rapid economic growth in Sub-Saharan Africa, averaging 5-6.5% annually in recent years. This makes it the second fastest growing region globally and raises the question of if it could become the next China. The economic turnaround started in the mid-1990s after years of corruption and mismanagement, as countries brought inflation down and increased investments in areas like education and health. Several countries have nearly quadrupled their growth rates while reducing inflation. Continued infrastructure investment and prudent macroeconomic policies will be needed to support growth in sectors like consumers and achieve double-digit GDP growth, allowing Africa to reach emerging market status.
African Energy Market_Final
This document provides an overview of the potential markets for renewable energy in sub-Saharan Africa. It notes that 76% of the population in sub-Saharan Africa does not have access to a central grid system. The region is expected to experience a fourfold increase in energy consumption by 2040. However, the current energy infrastructure is insufficient to meet growing demands. The document evaluates sub-Saharan Africa's energy sector and identifies opportunities for renewable energy sources like solar, wind, hydroelectric, and others to help address the region's energy needs.
Africa investment potential
The document discusses investment potential in Africa. It notes signs of potential like Rwanda's economic reforms and growth in mobile phone usage. Forecasts predict Sub-Saharan Africa will have steady growth around 4-6% annually through 2019. The document also outlines sectors with growth opportunities like mining, energy, infrastructure, and agriculture. Success factors for investment in Sub-Saharan Africa include defining appropriate strategies, partnering with governments, achieving scale, and flawless execution.

• Consumer expenditure in SSA
equaled nearly $600 billion in
2010, accounting for almost eight
percent of all emerging-market
spending, and is expected to reach
nearly $1 trillion by 2020.
• Consumer spending in South
Africa and Nigeria accounts for 51
percent of SSA's total expenditure.
• Poverty in SSA is decreasing
rapidly—from 40 percent in 1980 to
less than 30 percent in 2008—and is
expected to fall to 20 percent by 2020.
• By 2050, almost 60 percent of
people in SSA will live in cities,
compared with 40 percent in 2010.
This means 800 million more people
will live in urban environments.
• By 2012, over 50 percent of all
Africans—or more than 500 million
people—will own a mobile phone.
By 2014, this portion is expected to
increase to 56 percent (more than 600
million people), giving Africa one of
the world’s highest mobile usage rates.

Africa represents a significant growth opportunity for consumer products companies due to its growing population, increasing urbanization, and rising incomes. While risks must be considered, companies can succeed in Africa by adapting products to local needs, investing in communities, and taking a long-term view. Coca-Cola and Unilever are cited as examples through strategies like product modifications, partnerships with small retailers, and sustainable sourcing programs. When expanding operations, companies should build local presence, leverage first-mover advantage, and gain government relationships.
African Cities-Growth-Index Master Card 2015
The African Cities Growth Index is a unique lens for
viewing the future of Africa. With the collapse of the
so called commodity super cycle, continuing sluggish
recovery in the global economy, and persistent uncertainty
in growth prospects in many developed and developing
countries alike, the outlook for Africa has changed
dramatically in the past 12 months. As a result, the bullish
sentiments, captured by the “Africa Rising” narrative, have
been substantially dampened, if not vanishing altogether.
Doing Business in Africa: The Emerging Market
This document discusses opportunities for business and investment in Africa. It notes that Africa has a growing population and economy, with many countries experiencing high GDP growth rates.

Sub-Saharan Africa has experienced strong growth in recent years and is expected to continue growing faster than other regions like MENA at a rate of 5.7% through 2018, driven by factors like a young population and expanding infrastructure. This boom provides opportunities for GCC investors as Africa needs capital to fund its development, though it has resources and a large workforce. Some GCC companies have already invested in sectors like transportation, telecoms, real estate, and banking, taking advantage of Africa's growth and seeking to support Gulf food security through agriculture investment. QNB Group predicts Africa will keep growing strongly, creating more prospects for GCC corporations and investors.

Kenya aims to achieve middle income status by 2030 through unprecedented 10% annual economic growth, as outlined in its Vision 2030 development plan. However, it has fallen short of this target and has just 15 years remaining. Several sectors are seen as key to driving growth, including tourism, agriculture, manufacturing, and financial services. Challenges include low levels of value addition and processing in agriculture and other sectors. The document advocates for reforms and development across sectors to maximize their potential and put Kenya on track to become a middle income country by 2030.

Emerging Among Giants- ASEAN
ASEAN is set to become the fourth largest economy globally by mid-century due to strong economic growth driven by a young population and expanding workforce. This will create a large new middle class and drive demand for energy, steel, and other commodities. Key opportunities for ASEAN include growing oil and gas imports and exports, rapidly increasing LNG demand that may establish the region as a trading hub, and doubling steel consumption. However, ASEAN also faces challenges meeting rising electricity needs and attracting sufficient investment for infrastructure development.
African Development Bank - Tracking Africa’s Progress in Figures
The document discusses human development trends in Africa. It notes that Africa's population has grown rapidly over the past 20 years, exceeding 1 billion in 2011. Population growth is expected to continue, with Africa's population projected to reach 2.4 billion by 2050 and over 4 billion by 2100. Rapid population growth is driven by declining mortality rates as access to clean water and healthcare has improved. However, fertility rates are still high. A growing, youthful population presents both opportunities and challenges for Africa's development if proper investments are made in education, skills, infrastructure, and job creation to reap a "demographic dividend".

South Korea has a market economy that ranks 15th in the world by nominal GDP and 12th by purchasing power parity. It has experienced high growth rates since the 1960s due to an export-oriented economic strategy. While South Korea's economy is highly developed, it is still impacted by tensions with North Korea. However, international organizations praise South Korea's economic resilience through crises due to factors like low debt and fiscal reserves. South Korea was able to avoid recession in the late 2000s and saw sharp growth recovery despite the global financial crisis.
Africa Economic Opportunities and Growth Paradox
Africa is home to some of the fast growing countries in the world, a wealth continent full of minerals, abundant human resources and opportunities. At the same time, poverty, underdevelopment, insecurity, infrastructure and talent gaps are high. With 54 independent States and a population of over 1.1 billion inhabitants, Africa economic growth is a paradox story. From the desert in the North through the rich mineral belts of the coastal lines and tourism savannah in Kenya to the dense equatorial forests of Congo basin, Africa’s old dilemma stays the same. The question remains, how can a continent gifted and endowed with the World’s most envied, high in demand and profitable natural resources, abundant and cheap labour market, vast arable land, tourism opportunities and favourable climate said to be the poorest?
South Africa : Size, Accessibility, Economy, Trade & Market
South Africa, officially the Republic of South Africa, is the southernmost sovereign state in Africa.
It is bounded on the south by 2,798 kilometers of coastline of Southern Africa stretching along the South Atlantic and Indian Oceans, on the north by the neighbouring countries of Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe, and on the east by Mozambique and Swaziland, and surrounding the kingdom of Lesotho.
South Africa is a multiethnic society encompassing a wide variety of cultures, languages, and religions.
Its pluralistic makeup is reflected in the constitution's recognition of 11 official languages, which is among the highest number of any country in the world.
South Africa has the seventh-highest per capita income in Africa. However, poverty and inequality remain widespread, with about a quarter of the population unemployed and living on less than US$1.25 a day.

The conclusion advocates a blended approach to broaden stakeholders and unlock investment opportunities in order to promote sustained, inclusive economic growth and employment.
Mc kinsey nigeria%27s renewal may 2014
The document summarizes recent economic developments in Nigeria based on new GDP data released by the Nigerian government. It finds that productivity, not population growth, has been the largest driver of GDP growth since 2010. However, Nigeria's productivity and GDP per capita are lower than comparable developing economies due to its unusual urbanization process, which has not transformed the economy through migration from agriculture to more productive manufacturing and services jobs. Strengthening government capabilities will be important to ensuring future growth is more inclusive.
AFRICA - Nigeria's renewal - McKinsey & Company
The document discusses Nigeria's recent reclassification as Africa's largest economy based on new GDP data released in 2014.

It argues that strengthening government capabilities will be essential to making growth more inclusive and achieving better social outcomes.

Africa has a lot to learn, but will need to learn at a very fast pace.
Two different narratives about present-day Africa are thriving in parallel. Indeed, current African debate is a reflection of the complex reality on the ground. There are reasons for optimism and hope. And there are reasons for concern.
The Economic Growth of Africa
www.hasnainmraza.com
Africa has infinite potential. With numerous resources, an improving business climate and better economic governance, the numbers showing growth have been very positive. This presentation covers topics that speak on Africa's growth and where it can go. Here's a few stats that show how well the continent is doing:
A report from the African development bank said 33% of Africa's countries have GDP growth rates higher than 6%.
The costs of starting a business dropped upwards of 66% over the last 7 years.
The continent's middle class is growing at a very quick rate - approximately 350 million Africans now earn between $2 and $20 a day.
The share of the population living below the poverty line in Africa has dropped from 51% in 2005 to 39% in 2012.
Africa's collective GDP was $1.6 trillion in 2008, which was roughly equal to Brazil and Russia's GDP.

Africa Bandua
Africa has experienced periods of hope, decline, and renewed growth since decolonization in the 1960s. After initial optimism in the 1960-70s, economic and social conditions deteriorated in the 1970s-90s due to rising dependency ratios, conflicts fueled by the Cold War, and slowing GDP growth. However, since the 1990s Africa has seen increasing political pluralism, economic reforms, and boosted trade and investment as globalization accelerated. Looking ahead, Africa's growing and youthful population, urbanization, rising middle class, and developing infrastructure present opportunities for expanded consumption, retail growth, technology adoption and increased trade and exports.

This document discusses Africa's economic growth trends and opportunities. It notes that while overall GDP growth has slowed, some countries have accelerated. Africa's corporate sector is growing rapidly compared to other emerging markets. The document divides African economies into three groups - stable growers not dependent on resources, vulnerable growers often resource dependent with challenges, and slow growers like North African and South African economies. It highlights Africa's growing middle class, youth population, urbanization, and reforms improving business environment as positive trends driving economic opportunities in various sectors like financial services, education, manufacturing, and logistics. Examples of investments in sectors like IT, education, and agriculture are mentioned.
The China/Africa trade story so far
Having overtaken the US as Africa's largest trading partner China continues to deepen its ties with the region. Here is a snapshot of the story so far.
Mapping Africa’s Islamic Economy
This report maps Africa’s Islamic economy, assesses growth trends and challenges faced and proposes measures to nurture the segment.
ADF: Private Equity
This document discusses private equity investment in Africa. It notes that while Africa has experienced strong economic growth in recent decades, it still faces challenges that impact the private equity industry. Private equity can help fill funding gaps for African businesses and projects. The document examines trends in private equity deals in Africa and outlines opportunities and challenges. It argues that governments have a key role to play in promoting an enabling environment for private equity to support growth and development, such as by improving legal/regulatory frameworks, encouraging local investment, and promoting impact investments. The conclusion raises issues for discussion around these topics.
Africa Market Update - March 2019
We are pleased to release the March 2019 Africa Market Update covering the economies of Nigeria, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda. This issue comes at a time when foreign exchange pressures have been broadly benign for most economies under our universe with the exception of Tanzania and Ethiopia. We continue to monitor developments in the two countries. This issue also comes against the backdrop on an election in Nigeria which saw Muhammadu Buhari re-elected signalling continuity of a policy framework which has presented a mixed bag as far as jump-starting the economy from the 2016 recession is concerned.
Africa's Place in the World Economy
A Fellow-led discussion by Ojooluwa Ibiloye with the Fellows of the McCain Fellowship for Freedom of the International Republican Institute (IRI).
The McCain Fellowship for Freedom (MFF) brings together a cohort of young leaders from around the world to the U.S. for a two week exchange with policy makers, thought leaders, American entrepreneurs, and others to gain insights and build networks necessary to fostering resilient democracies rooted in economic freedom. The MFF encourages peer-to-peer learning, targeted training, and seeks to cultivate a generation of changemakers who are building more inclusive, transparent, and resilient democracies powered by free markets. The Fellowship honors the spirit and legacy of 25-year International Republican Institute Chairman Senator John McCain, a passionate advocate of democracy around the world and former Chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, who believed that “free markets are not possible without free people.”
This presentative explains the position of Africa in the global economy.

The document discusses the economic challenges facing Africa, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. It notes Africa's population and urbanization are increasing rapidly, putting stress on inadequate infrastructure while rising costs of power and resources are issues. The document proposes adopting a digital economy blueprint to address challenges through industries not requiring smokestacks (iWOSS), leveraging technologies to boost traditionally low-value industries and create jobs. If successful, iWOSS could contribute $1 trillion to African GDP by 2030 by establishing a digital single market and regulatory frameworks to attract investment across ECOWAS countries.What is the future of the Telecommunications industry in Africa
Deloitte recently completed an in-depth analysis of the telecommunications market in Africa, its trends, and the drivers of it. We are convinced that there will be consolidation in the telecommunications sector and inevitably more inbound investment as the market opens up and the economic returns improve.

The constraints in the economic and trade cooperation of the China-Africa community of shared future that cannot neglect. The main constraints to the development of China-Africa economic cooperation include the imbalance of China-Africa economic and trade, the unitary commodity structure, and competition in the international market. There are differences in the political and legal values between China and Africa. Western developed countries restrict and exclude the economic cooperation between the Chinese and African communities, fabricate the China threat theory, and seek energy and political interests to disrupt the smooth development of China-Africa economic and trade cooperation.
67 i chronicle
The document discusses the bailout deal reached for Cyprus to avoid exiting the eurozone. Key points:
- Cyprus agreed to restructure its second largest bank, Laiki, dissolving it and transferring guaranteed deposits to the largest bank, Bank of Cyprus, which also faces major restructuring.
- Large depositors in both banks face significant losses of up to 40% of their money. The banking sector will shrink greatly and thousands of jobs will be lost.
- Capital controls will be imposed temporarily on bank withdrawals and cash movements.
- However, Cyprus' debt levels remain very high and its economy will shrink drastically, so it may require further bailouts.
- The deal sets a precedent that worries
south africa
South Africa has a population of over 51 million people from diverse cultures and ethnic groups. Africans make up the majority at 79% of the population, while people of color and whites each make up around 9%. The population is growing and became more urbanized in recent decades. South Africa has a stable political system and growing economy, with key industries like mining, manufacturing, and tourism. However, it faces challenges like infrastructure issues, lack of skilled labor, and high unemployment.

Job quality and labour market tightness
What's a worker’s market? Job quality and labour market tightnessLabour Market Information Council | Conseil de l’information sur le marché du travail
In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.International Sustainability Standards Board

Ending stagnation: How to boost prosperity across Scotland
A toxic combination of 15 years of low growth, and four decades of high inequality, has left Britain poorer and falling behind its peers. Productivity growth is weak and public investment is low, while wages today are no higher than they were before the financial crisis. Britain needs a new economic strategy to lift itself out of stagnation.
Scotland is in many ways a microcosm of this challenge. It has become a hub for creative industries, is home to several world-class universities and a thriving community of businesses – strengths that need to be harness and leveraged. But it also has high levels of deprivation, with homelessness reaching a record high and nearly half a million people living in very deep poverty last year. Scotland won’t be truly thriving unless it finds ways to ensure that all its inhabitants benefit from growth and investment. This is the central challenge facing policy makers both in Holyrood and Westminster.
What should a new national economic strategy for Scotland include? What would the pursuit of stronger economic growth mean for local, national and UK-wide policy makers? How will economic change affect the jobs we do, the places we live and the businesses we work for? And what are the prospects for cities like Glasgow, and nations like Scotland, in rising to these challenges?

Ashton Global Investing in Africa
- 1. While unpredictable protectionist measures rattled US markets during 2019, Africa has been moving toward free trade. The total economic output of Sub-Saharan Africa is predicted to reach over $2 trillion by 2020, up from just $300 billion in 2000. Pro-market economic reforms, favorable demographic developments, and the adoption of new technologies also contribute to a steadily improving investment environment.

- 2. 1 ASHTON GLOBAL INVESTING IN RISING AFRICA Increasing Economic Openness Africa accounted for more than 30% of all business regulation reforms in developing markets during 2018 according to IFC. It is now easier to do business in Kenya than in East Asia and the Pacific. The World Bank also ranks Rwanda above Switzerland and the Netherlands for ease of doing business. While unpredictable protectionist measures rattled US markets during 2019, Africa has been moving toward free trade. The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) eliminates tariffs on 90% of goods traded between member states. Currently, only about 20% of African trade occurs within the continent compared to 69% for Europe. The UN Economic Commission on Africa predicts that the agreement will increase trade by more than 50%. Growing Markets Economic growth in Africa continues to exceed global averages. The IMF projects that GDP growth in Sub- Saharan Africa will rise to 3.5% in 2019, versus 3% in 2018. Many countries are expected to do even better. The Economist predicts that Rwanda will be the 5th fastest growing economy in the world this year with 7.3% GDP growth. Africa is now experiencing many of the demographic developments that once fueled high investment returns in East Asia. Between 1950 and 2015, East Asia’s urban population grew at an average annual rate of 4.3%. CONTACT ASHTON GLOBAL 48 Wall Street New York, NY 10005 +01 212 514 8953 info@ashtonglobal.com
- 3. 2 “The rise of the middle class is also likely to boost returns in Africa over the next several decades. IFC expects Africa’s combined middle and high-income groups to reach 160 million people by 2030. That’s an increase of about 100 million, more than the entire population of Germany.” The Case for Private Capital Although Africa has enormous potential for growth, much of that potential is not in publicly listed companies. The median stock market capitalization as a percentage of GDP in Africa remains below 50% compared to over 160% in the United States. To a certain extent, this reflects undervaluation and the potential for higher growth. The other explanation is that many of the best investment opportunities in Africa are not yet listed on stock exchanges. Africa is also following a new path to developing financial markets. Companies like Kenya’s Safaricom let many Africans leapfrog over traditional banks with smartphone mobile money solutions. The median ratio of private credit to the overall economy actually expanded from 15% to 20% between 2008 and 2015. The spread of fintech also creates new opportunities for private capital. The Opportunities Ashton Global foresees exceptional investment opportunities in African infrastructure, energy development, education, and real estate. Kenya and many other countries are expected to increase spending on transportation by an average of over 7% per year. While Africa’s own energy needs are growing somewhat more slowly, China’s voracious appetite for energy creates strong demand. Private education and e-learning do not have to compete with a large subsidized public education establishment in Africa. Spending on housing is expected to increase by over 7.5% per year in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Rwanda during the next decade. Africa has the strong demographics and pro-growth reforms necessary to outperform developed markets over the next three to five years.
