  • African Infrastructure Investors sought to bridge Africa’s infrastructure divide

    AFRICA, 2015/12/02 Request for power, roads, railways, internet and other infrastructure in Africa is set to soar in the coming years, providing investment opportunities and socio-economic benefits across the continent Infrastructure has played a significant part in Africa’s recent economic upturn, and will need to play an even better role if the continent’s development targets are to be reached. Simulations suggest that if all African nations were to catch up with Mauritius in infrastructure, per capita economic increase in the region could increase by 2.2 % points. Catching up with Korea’s level would increase economic increase per capita by up to 2.6% per year. In a number of nations – inclunding Côte d’Ivoire, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and Senegal – the impact would be even larger. In most African nations, particularly the lower-gain nations, infrastructure is a major constraint on doing business and is found to depress productivity by around 40%. For a lot of nations, the negative impact of deficient infrastructure is at least as large as that associated with corruption, crime, and financial market and red tape constraints.
