- Several of Africa's major stock markets performed poorly in 2015, with Nigeria's stock exchange performing the worst. Commodity exports like oil, gas, and copper were also down over 15%.
- Major political events included Muhammadu Buhari being elected president of Nigeria and John Pombe Magufuli being elected president of Tanzania.
- Terrorism remained a major issue, with Boko Haram, Al Shabaab, and Fulani militants responsible for over 8,000 deaths across Africa.

ABSTRACT
The economy of South Africa is the second-largest in Africa, behind Nigeria. It is ranked as an upper-middle-income economy by the World Bank.
South Africa’s growth experience provides an example of how contrasting growth trends - long-term decline followed by improved growth - pivot around political change, in this case a transition to democracy. In the decade prior to 1994, South Africa experienced the worst period of economic growth since the end of the Second World War, with growth variable and declining. The proximate causes of slowing growth were trade and financial sanctions in opposition to the Apartheid government, political instability and macroeconomic policy decisions that resulted in higher inflation, increased uncertainty and declining investment.
In the post-apartheid period, political and economic leadership have been essential to improving the country’s growth performance, because of the effect on policy formulation, institutional development, regulatory design, and economic vision.
This research project provides some insight into the challenges faced by the South African Economy such as high levels of unemployment, income inequality, growing public debt, political mismanagement, low levels of education, reliable access to amenities, and crime.

We are pleased to release the November 2018 Africa Market Update covering the economies of Zambia, Nigeria, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda. This issue is significant for two reasons - one, with Nigeria's general election slated for February 19th, 2019, this issue delves deep in assessing the political risk profile and how the private sector perceives risk in view of the forthcoming poll. Two, November 2018 will be characterized by Monetary Policy Committee meetings in a number of economies in the region including Kenya, Nigeria and Zambia. As such, this issue takes a look at the underlying monetary environment especially with inflation and foreign exchange pressures surging across the region.

Nigeria's economy expanded by 2.01% y/y in the first quarter of 2019 (Q1'19) from growth of 1.89% (Q1'18) in the corresponding quarter, on the back of improved aggregate demand underpinned by election spending within the period under review. The Q1'19 growth was the best first quarter performance of the economy since 2015.
However, the GDP growth result was below the 2.38% growth recorded in Q4'18, consequently dampening the upward growth trajectory of the economy since Q2'18.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

In April 2015, President Muhammadu Buhari
became the first Nigerian to defeat a sitting
president through the ballot box.
President Muhammadu Buhari was elected as
president of Nigeria after defeating the
incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan by 2.7
million votes.
President Muhammad Buhari was elected
largely on his campaign promise to clean up
corruption as well as to eradicate the Boko
Haram terrorist group.
9. After Buhari's election win, the Nigerian Stock Exchange experienced a sharp uptick but has since declined
to a worse rate than before the election
10. Magufuli elected as 5th president of tanzania

John Pombe Magufuli became the 5th president of
Tanzania after winning the general election under
the party slogan, Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM).
Magufuli has gained attention across the globe as a
result-driven, penny pinching and no-nonsense
candidate as evidenced by his visit to the Ministry of
Finance two days after his inauguration where he
took roll call.
In a move to cut cost across all facets of
government, Magufuli's cabinet announcement had
only 19 ministeral appointments compared to 30
ministers from the past government

14. egypt planning development of new administrative capital
The Egyptian government announced plans to
construct a new administrative capital, east of
Cairo. A project is estimated to cost Egypt $45
billion and is estimated to take five to seven
years to complete.
The new city is projected to consist of more
than 600 health care facilities and almost
2000 education institutions.
As a core aim to revive the economy of Egypt,
the new city has received massive aid and
investment in terms of pledges amounting to
about $12 billion from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait,
and the United Arab Emirates.

Image courtesy of Wayan Vota via Flickr
The Nigerian Communications Commission fined
Africa's largest telecommunications provider $5.2
billion for failure to disconnect unregistered SIM
lines by the required deadline. The fine triggered
a crash in trading for MTN's stock and trading had
to be temporarily suspended.
The fine which has since been reduced to $3.9
billion is required to be completely paid off by the
last day of 2015.
Meanwhile, MTN has proceeded to challenge the
fine in a Nigerian court to avoid the crippling fine.
16. ghana power crisis
Ghana faced near economic meltdown
due to frequent power cuts which
affected a lot of businesses in Ghana.
Lamenting that Ghana was a victim of
its success, the government attributed
that a record of 12 per cent growth per
annum increased the demand for
power tremendously.
Cyclic power shortages in Ghana have
also been attributed towards changing
water levels at the Akosombo
hydroelectric dam, which is associated
to contribute about half of the power
supply in the country

17. jacob zuma appoints two finance ministers within 5 days
Image Coutesy of Baynham Goredema via Flickr
South African president, Jacob Zuma, fired the
country's finance minister Nhlanhla Nene
without any warning on Dec 9th and replaced
him with David Van Rooyen, a lawmaker with
very little governmental finance experience.
This rash decision caused an uproar within
South African and International markets
causing the rand currency to fall to its lowest
level against the dollar since 2008.
This caused Zuma to re-think his decision and
appoint Pravin Gordhan, the current minister of
cooperative governance to the position.
