It is what difference we have made to the lives of others.”

…High Investment Interest by Individuals of Native African Origin

  • Remittances are on the rise, with 160 million Africans who live outside of the continent sending home more than $95 billion in remittances.
  • Of that, about $53 billion went to countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, with Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, and Zimbabwe as the top destinations.
  • This surpasses $30 billion in foreign direct investment • $15 billion was sent from the U.S.

High Interest in trade with Africa…

  • Many countries seek access to Africa's rich reserves
  • Africa's fertile land allows for large-scale production of commodities 
  • As Africa's population continues to grow, it presents a large potential market for consumer goods, creating opportunities for companies to expand their customer base.
