The Africa Risk-Reward Index 2023 - Opportunity through adversity 

Oxford Economics Africa and Control Risks will launch the 8th edition of the Africa Risk-Reward Index in September. 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.


Join experts from Oxford Economics Africa and Control Risks where they will discuss the report's key themes, risks and opportunities for investors and examine what these mean for Africa in the year ahead. 
 

In this session, you will get access to insights and expert advice on:    

  • The profits and pitfalls in polarisation: How African countries are resisting pressure to align, even as the fault lines between global geopolitical powers deepen. 

  • African-led security interventions: Global attention is split and conflicts and security crises on the continent are not gaining sustained attention from external actors. This is having serious impacts on the continent. 

  • Financing for the future: How African financial services institutions are stepping in to plug the funding gap and helping to bridge access and inclusion divides. 


The webinar will take place on September 26, 11 am-12 pm CEST.

Tanzania: A rising star in East Africa. NABA and Invest Africa business mission follow-up

From May 3 - 6, 2022, the Norwegian-African Business Association (NABA), and the UK’s Invest Africa led a business mission to Tanzania, where a reform drive under president Samia Suluhu Hassanis driving investment, and fueling optimism about the country’s development prospects.

Foreign Direct Investment is estimated to have hit $4.14bn in 2021, more than triple the previous year, with growth (4.8% in 2022), averaging more than 6% since 2015.

We’re bringing together key participants from the mission to discuss the important trends shaping Tanzania’s economic and policy environments, and its attractiveness as a place to do business. This is a unique opportunity to gain on the ground insight into one of East Africa’s rising stars.

Areas to be explored include:

  • The macroeconomic outlook

  • Policy direction and reform

  • Key sectors and investment opportunities
