OPINION | Foreign investment is Africa's best shot at growth, but its share is still pitiful

Foreign direct investment is more effective than remittances and overseas development assistance at generating sizable economic growth and development.

Because the US is still the biggest source of global investment , African countries must change their strategy to attract foreign capital in the next critical Biden/Harris years. Africa, home to 1.3-billion people, and with trade valued at around USD 4.3 trillion, can open its market up, cut trade cost and become the next global trade and investment frontier, argues Professor Gilbert Khadiagala, Director of the African Centre for the Study of the United States at Wits University.Firstly, the Africa Continental Free Trade Area is probably the continent's most important trade facilitation mechanism.

AGOA's imminent expiration means the continent must formulate a new and comprehensive trade and export policy, which should be at the top of the African agenda, especially since experience demonstrates bilateral and multilateral trade pacts usually take more than five years to negotiate.

Oops…..work!!

As a mother of two kids I have battled alot with my financial state to the point of begging from friends just to survive,until I started Bitcoin trading with the help of AMBREYMARCUS1 I made a successful withdrawal of R 200,000 with the help of AMBREYMARCUS1 .

Why would anyone risk putting money into an African, third world, corrupt country

Few month ago I was struggling to fend for my self and my kids ,at my last bus stop I decided to give Bitcoin trading a try ,through the help of AMBREYMARCUS1 I was able to earn R250,000 in 2 weeks thank you so much Mr AMBREYMARCUS1 .

I never wanted to give it a try because I was really afraid of losing my hard-earned money to any scammers online, I am really delighted, I will keep investing with williamchurch09 EXCHANGE company 🇿🇦, you too can start making profits from Agent. Kindly message williamchurch09

It's true, but which investor will risk his capital to see it burnt in SA? The July insurrection will always be the first hurdle. As a Safrican I'm loathe to put any money in SA How many have moved to Mauritius & the tax base is dwindling while PresidencyZA is borrowing money

WITH CRIMINALS RUNNING THE COUNTRIES WHICH FOREIGN INVESTOR WOULD WANT TO INVEST IN THESE COUNTRIES. ABSOLUTELY NONE.
