Are African Investments Viable Or Not
When one takes a look at the amount of foreign aid that has streamed into African investments it is rather staggering as no country in the world has had over three billion pumped into it. Although Africa has never really thrived and is the poorest continent over the last few years Africa has really deteriorated and recent statistics show that Africa only accounts for a total of two percent of global production.
Despite the fact that the rest of the world have poured in alarming amounts of money Africa sadly remains bankrupt and this is due to the governmental top dogs use and abuse of these funds as well as excessive debts. Africa is fast losing its professional people as statistic shows a staggering twenty thousand and more people immigrate to other countries.
Over the last two years Africa has not shown a significant export market value as the agricultural sector has dropped a further twenty five percent and this is an area which has been seriously neglected over the recent years. The only feasible sectors for African investments states world economic experts is agriculture as the processing is ripe in this area for potential investors. Then there is also infrastructure and telecommunications which would bring good returns.
Sub Sahara Africa presents good opportunities as well as interesting insights with regards to mobile infiltration and 3G licenses as these countries are undeveloped but the market is saturated with particular reference to North Africa and South Africa. Only three networks are functioning and a mere one Telkom service leaving the market open to investors.
Morocco was the first country in Africa to launch the IPTV service and sceptics are worried about the impact expansion will have on the WIMAX due to the heavy service convergence and how it will affect the other countries in Africa. 's telecom sector. Sudan. 's telecom area is still virginal and unexplored in spite of millions be brought in by the overseas sectors. In spite of the political unrest and oil prices dropping Sudan has vast growth potential.
The infrastructure situation in Africa must also be viewed as an opportunity for African investments rather than a limitation. There are around three hundred million Africans that do not have reliable supplies of clean drinking water and millions more that don. 't have access to proper sanitation. Only four percent of Africa. 's water supply is used for the purpose of agricultural development as well as hydro electrical power, residential and industrial consumption.
The African continents inhabitant. 's life expectancy is falling rapidly as HIV is rife and accounts for approximately seventy percent of the globes HIV victims and over and above this forty percent of Africans is illiterate and in addition Africa has been rated the lowest as far as human development goes by the UNDP.
Despite all the statistics african investment can still afford investors viable opportunities and returns as long as the investors realize the potential risks involved as Africa. 's market sector is not saturated in comparison to other markets. The very best markets open for investment are agriculture, telecom and domestic infrastructure. There are other countries that have already realized this potential in Africa. - 23221
