6. Africa – Shakeel Mughal
•
Sub-Saharan Africa has 30% of the world’s proven mineral resources,
making it a key partner both for the developed world and for the
industrialising economies of China and India.
•
Decades of underinvestment have left the continent with an infrastructure
ill-equipped to deal with the burgeoning demand for its exports.
•
Generalised perceptions of Africa’s risk profile do not do justice to those
countries which have made considerable economic and political progress
over the last 15 years.
•
For those with the necessary regional knowledge and experience, this
mismatch between perceptions and reality affords a real business
opportunity.
