Africa Risk-Reward Index 2021: Resilience and Recovery
It's live! Download the Africa Risk-Reward Index 2021
The Covid-19 pandemic upended the world in 2020 – and Africa has been no exception. With a health crisis that has triggered one of the largest global economic crises, it has also been a catalyst for positive change and a creator of new opportunities across the continent.
Africa is still in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, with vaccination rollouts progressing slowly and further waves of infections likely. Whilst African nations have mostly escaped the heavy death toll and hospital bed shortages faced by Western countries, the COVID-19 pandemic has dealt a blow to the continent’s economic ambitions. As the world shifts towards recovery, reviving Africa’s pre-pandemic growth trajectory will be crucial to the continent’s future, but will depend upon these countries’ ability to innovate their way out of a health crisis, mounting debt, and regional insecurity against the geopolitical backdrop of a recalibration of Africa’s relationship with the rest of the world.
Control Risks and Oxford Economics Africa are pleased to launch the sixth edition of the Africa Risk-Reward Index. The index illustrates the evolution of the investment landscape in major African markets and provides a grounded, longer-term outlook of key trends shaping investment in these economies. It also offers a comparative snapshot of market opportunities and risks across the continent, which will allow your organisation to develop an informed strategy for growing your business or investing in Africa.
In the 2021 edition of the Africa Risk-Reward Index we focus on:
► Healing stronger: How the COVID-19 pandemic can give rise to new industry
► Paying the bill: Innovative solutions for Africa’s debt crisis
► Cooperation, competition and conflict: The changing dynamics of military intervention in Africa
