‘Angola is still growing its economy at a massive speed ..A distinct lack of certain products and services is growing instead of declining and makes Angola a frontier market of the first order. You should also watch stock exchange developments, construction, green sector and professional services…..‘Nigeria has a huge population with a huge potential for growth…Ghana is an emerging market, with a stable government. ..Rwanda is now one of Africa’s major success stories and is growing in leaps and bounds… Nairobi’s as the regional hub for East Africa is becoming more important with the integration of the East Africa Community.. Kenya is taking advantage of Southern Sudan’s likelihood of joining the East African Community by creating a port in Lamu.
