I am back from my first ever professional trip to Southern Africa (Angola, Ile Maurice & Kenya).....so much things happening in the continent!!!
In Kenya, institutional reform, large human capital base, strong private sector, significant Foreign Direct Investment coupled with a deep penetration of Technology explain Kenya's economic dominance in the region. We've visited a rail project that will link Kenya's town of Mombasa to Kampala (Uganda), Kigali (Rwanda), Juba (South Sudan) countries that are part of the newly formed East African Community (EAC).
Also learned that Mauritius was now the most competitive economy in Southern Africa believe it or not... with his financial market development in line with international best practice and only two countries in the world, Hong Kong and Singapore, boasting a higher ranking according to a Senior World Bank executive that was part of our delegation.
In Angola: Gross National Income > 11% between 2007 and 2015 & GDI >27% during the same period... Enough said!!
Mark my words: "Angola's growth will overtake that of Nigeria to become Africa's fastest growing nation very soon!!"
