Given its 1.1 billion people that make up 15% of the world’s population, we decided it’s time to focus on Africa. Growth in Sub-Saharan Africa’s economy is projected to gain momentum this year thanks to stable commodity prices, a healthy global economy and recoveries in the region’s major players, Nigeria and South Africa. Sub-Saharan African trade volumes are expected to quadruple by 2030.
This region is becoming more appealing to UK businesses since International Trade secretary Liam Fox, on a trade trip to South Africa and Mozambique last year, announced that the UK will double its support for trade with South Africa by an additional £1.75bn. Support will be made available through the UK’s export credit agency UK Export Finance (UKEF).
