Sub-Saharan Africa is now one of the world’s most talked about regions in terms of emerging investment opportunities and sources of new growth. Its economies represent a quintessential frontier market and they are set to develop into an area of long-term investment interest. Africa – The Ultimate Frontier Market is an investor’s guide to the transformations that have occurred in the African business landscape in the last 50 years and the key areas of interest for the future.

It provides a detailed but lucid look at the changing trends in social life, government and business since the 1960s. It explains the background to consumer market developments and why they have occurred, the enablers that have been laid down within Africa that ready it for business expansion, and the sectors where there is opportunity for investment and growth. The business environment is then broken down into seven key areas on which investors should focus:

Agriculture – Real estate – Consumer retail – Financial services – Telecoms – Transport and logistics – Manufacturing and processing.
