  • Industry & Trade Diversification: the key to Africa’s future

    CASABLANCA, 2015/12/02 Industry leaders and policy makers seek to tap world price chains The sea change this year in world commodities markets has profound implications for Africa, a continent endowed with an abundance of natural resources and highly dependent on the export of raw materials. With a lot of economists forecasting a difficult panorama ahead for petroleum and metals producers, they are as well drawing on lessons from completed commodity booms. Compared to other regions, Africa has failed to create long-lasting periods of economic evolution and researchers have seen a strong correlation with market shifts. Half of the continent’s cycles of economic expansions have been linked to booming commodity prices, according to the IMF. The other half has been supported by increased competitiveness, a factor that led to additional sustainable increase in the long-term. Today, Africa faces a fundamentally different world economic landscape than the one that drove it to consistent 5% increase over the completed decade. Additional than ever, African governments and private sectors cannot depend so heavily on the vast wealth held within their territories, and must instead look to diversify their industries.
