Growth Outlook

Economic growth trends remain buoyant across the African region

• Rising per capita GDP, large FDI inflows, greater personal savings and accelerated capital development
• Demand for primary exports remains inelastic as Africa remains one of the least integrated regions in the world - its markets exhibit relatively low degrees of correlation to US, European and Asian economies
• Strong top-line growth fueling attractive valuations across the region
• Management teams across Africa are well positioned to engineer bottom-line expansion via margin improvement and more effective cost management, among other factors
