natural gas, manganese, oil, tin) and nine neighbouring countries

10. 4. Why Do We Invest in CAR & DRC? 10
Both CAR & DRC provide a significant opportunity for development, healthy returns and we
believe the markets so far have been undervalued
The case for DRC – provided ongoing political stability, a large, captive and underdeveloped market with
limited SME PE competition. Continuing reforms of trade & tax regulation would help further
development
Strengths Weaknesses
• Vast natural resources – one of richest countries globally in • Significant part of economy is informal – a.o. due to deficient
natural resources – with a captive transportation system in the tax system
form of the Congo river • Poorly spread wealth distribution – a small top layer holds
• Large labor workforce / captive domestic market (65 Million large part of the wealth
people of which between 7-15 million in Kinshasa alone). • Short term mentality – focus on imports & trade and “making
Estimates of population with bigger spending power are a quick buck” and little investment in production
around 600,000 infrastructure
• Entrepreneurial, active & eager population • Not easy to find adequate resources – little management
• In large cities as Kinshasa & Lubumbashi significant economic bench strength developed as even larger companies are often
activity and new construction run as one-man-shows
Opportunities Threats / Risks
• Banks do / can not finance longer than 3 years and focus on • Regulatory & Tax system – need very strong focus on
collateral based working capital financing – longer term Capex managing revenues, returns and cash smartly
financing is underserved • Morality and skill-set of entrepreneurs / management of
• Little / no competition in SME private equity investee companies
• Almost any sector (ie construction, healthcare, infrastructure,
processing, manufacturing, distribution) is underdeveloped
and the right investments can have a significant impact
• To help grow SME companies and build a middle class by
better distribution of wealth
• Business environment would be helped by extension of
existing government after elections in October

11. 4. Why Do We Invest in CAR & DRC? 11
Both CAR & DRC provide a significant opportunity for development, healthy returns and we
believe the markets so far have been undervalued
The case for CAR – a smaller economy that would benefit from intelligent investments in agricultural and
technology infrastructure
Strengths Weaknesses
• Vast natural resources, a.o. timber, diamonds and gold • Significant part of economy is informal
• Large agricultural land available • Poorly spread wealth distribution – a small top layer holds
large part of the wealth
• Short term mentality – focus on imports & trade and “making
a quick buck” and little investment in production

• Not easy to find adequate human resources – little

companies are often run as one-man-shows

collateral based working capital financing – longer term Capex managing revenues, returns and cash smartly
