In my view Africa will really begin to take of when many of the economies become more integrated and goods and services can move indiscriminately across the different regions of Africa. It is also good to note that economies such as Angola are growing at 18% which is the highest economic growth rate in the sub saharan Africa.  Watch the Kenyan Prime Minister discuss about these developments in Africa.

    Raila’s ideas are good but they have already been enumerated by the Kibaki Administration. Infact the Lamu port project is bigger than making Mombasa a free port though that would also be good. Vision 2030 also already includes this ideas. But it is encouraging to hear him talk about economics for a change.

    Great thread and clips. Africa will offer opportunities to many in the near future because it is still a frontier/emerging market while the West has already become saturated.

    You are exactly Kisila further more Africa’s population is expected to be huge and will be the new frontier market in 20 or so years. Thanks for commenting.
