Africa offers diverse investment opportunities shaped by distinctive regulatory frameworks, economic policies, and market conditions.
The continent is characterized by a rapidly growing population of over 1.4 billion (World Bank, 2023), with projections estimating it could reach 2.5 billion by 2050 (United Nations, 2023).
In 2022, Africa's cumulative nominal Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was approximately $3.4 trillion (African Development Bank, 2023), with GDP growth rates around 4% as the economy recovers from the pandemic (International Monetary Fund, 2023). Inflation rates typically range from 6-10%, influenced by various global and regional factors (World Bank, 2023).
