Africa's moment - The Times CEO Summit Africa
One of the few constants amid the rapidly shifting fortunes
of the global economy is the solid performance of most
African economies south of the Sahara. Nearly four years
after the global financial crisis, the region’s fortunes continue
to thrive, forcing even the convinced Africa sceptics among
investors to re-consider.
Natural resources are helping fuel this growth story, with African governments seeking a greater share in the benefits. At the Times CEO Summit Africa in March we asked a high-level panel including Lord Mandelson, ANC heavyweight Cyril Ramaphosa and Glencore CEO Ivan Glasenberg about social and political demands and risks facing extractive firms in Africa.
As we explain in our free Briefing Book, Africa's Moment, produced for The Times CEO Summit Africa:
- domestic consumption is rising;
- regional integration is increasing (if from a low base); and
- Africa’s engagement with the world economy, especially the fast-growing BRIC countries, is intensifying.
Of course, there is still plenty of risk out there. Investors in Africa
need in-depth understanding of country, culture and context
when they approach this most diverse of continents if they are to
price risk accurately.
This is where Oxford Analytica comes in. We are delighted to be supporting the Times Africa CEO Summit, and to place our
long track record of analysis and advisory work at the disposal of
investors and policymakers keen to pursue an African advantage.
