NKC African Economics Announces Rebrand
NKC African Economics announced today that it will now be rebranded and referred to as Oxford Economics Africa. Following the 2015 acquisition of a majority stake in NKC by Oxford Economics, the UK-based economic advisory firm, this development enables Oxford Economics Africa to enter the next phase of corporate growth and further enhance its global presence.
Oxford Economics Africa has an engrained reputation as a leading research house that provides specialised political and economic research on 54 African countries. Its expertise ranges from economic, social, and environmental impact assessments to scenario analyses, market-potential assessments, and insights into consumer behavioural trends. By closer aligning the brand to its parent company, Oxford Economics Africa can support clients globally with reliable strategic insights and forecasts needed to monitor investment risks or opportunities on the continent. Its detailed analysis and scenario outputs extend to the risk, industry, tourism, and cities landscape.
“Leveraging Oxford Economics’ world-class models and technical expertise allows Oxford Economics Africa to both expand its African consulting capabilities and integrate with the group’s international consulting arm. Oxford Economics Africa clients will have access to the same calibre of insights, analyses, and consulting expertise that they have come to trust and rely on with Oxford Economics’ powerful models and analytical framework.” – Noelani King Conradie, MD

About Oxford Economics Africa
Based in South Africa, Oxford Economics Africa has specialised in macroeconomic research in Africa since 2003. Insights are provided within the context of comprehensive knowledge of the African continent, its history, and each country’s unique political and economic setting. In 2015, we became part of the Oxford Economics group, to better combine Oxford Economics’ global base and unparalleled technical expertise in modelling with our Africa-specific skills and insight. In September 2021, we decided to fully align our brand with our majority shareholder – from now on, NKC African Economics will be known as Oxford Economics Africa.
