Africa: From Capital to Prosperity - Can Africa build the financial engine for its industrialisation?
[allAfrica] Executive Summary
Africa's aspiration for industrialisation, manufacturing and value addition is clear, yet its feasibility remains uncertain. The root cause is not a lack of ideas or entrepreneurial drive, but rather a fundamental financial constraint. The continent must build factories, infrastructure and value-added industries, yet the cost, structure and accessibility of long-term finance severely limit its ability to do so.
Until capital markets are more developed and aligned with industrial timelines, Africa's development ambitions will struggle to materialise on a large scale.
