In Focus: Asia - Africa Economic and Investment Forum 2021

 

Given weak global growth prospects and significant downside risks, our economic policies will need to strike a balance between supporting growth and creating the fiscal space to respond to emergent economic challenges. This means executing on fiscal consolidation now, particularly in highly indebted countries.

The policy package we prescribe should balance growth, equity and sustainability concerns, including protecting society’s most vulnerable, particularly youth and women, who tend to be left behind during economic transformations.

Tackling corruption decisively would also help raise additional resources and redirect them to growth-friendly areas, while restoring the integrity of institutions. This would in turn spread economic benefits more widely within and across countries.

This is a time to act boldly and swiftly to ensure we don’t confine Africa’s youth to the margins of global economic activity.

In line with the aforementioned, Globe Chamber of Commerce and Industry presents Asia-Africa Economic and Investment Forum 2021.

This is a forum that is aimed at fostering business expansion within and beyond the shores of Africa.

The event will cover economic sectors such as 

·       Manufacturing and infrastructure development

·       Renewable Energy,

·       Real Estate

·       Transportation

·       Digital Technology

·       Tourism

·       Financing SMEs

·       Healthcare

Africa will be presented to international investors.                            

Featured agenda items will include projects showcase, capacity building workshops deal marketplace, exhibition, and country presentations, among others.

There will be matchmaking sessions dedicated to making the process of meeting investors easier, country specific presentations, sector focused sessions and evening networking meetings. This will ensure
investment deals are concluded during the convention.

Securing finance is a big hurdle for local entrepreneurs as well as foreign companies operating in Africa. Companies that approach banks for investment in Africa are met with doubts and skepticism.
