Hear Great Speakers at ACORD Forum Southern Africa

What can we expect from the WEF Africa Forum in Cape Town?

We read a lot about the shortage of power that is constraining economies from Nigeria to South Africa and from Zambia to Egypt. Less than 13% of Africa’s trade is with other countries on the continent, constrained by road and rail infrastructure and border crossing issues. There are concerns about insurgencies across North Africa to West Africa and in East Africa. These three examples show that despite the forecasts for strong growth of over 5.5% for Africa ex SA over the next 5 years (by the IMF amongst others) the continent could be growing significantly faster if some of these constraints were removed. Of course key to the continent’s future is to ensure that this growth is both inclusive and sustainable.
