Wealth Report

Africa investor and The Africa Group (TAG), a consulting firm with a focus on growth opportunities and investment in the private sector, set out to size and evaluate eight sectors in Africa to determine the potential opportunity over and above today’s market size. The result is the Africa Wealth Cheque report, a comprehensive analysis that addresses actual and potential market sizes of energy, minerals, agriculture, tourism, water, forestry, fisheries, and human capital. Mark Allix profiles the continent’s potential, all $16.17 trillion of it.

Imagine,
for
a
moment,
you
had
the opportunity
to
buy
stock
in
Ford
just
before
it
pioneered
the
first
assembly
line.
The
car
company
had
significant
pent‐up
demand
that
existing
infrastructure could
not
meet,
making the
potential
opportunity
for
sales
many
times greater
than
actual
sales
in
that
day.
It
just needed
a
bit
of
capital
to
achieve
outsized returns.
