• FBN Capital in Nigeria said that there is no capital to finance the 8 billion usd needed yearly, for the
next 10 Years, for the power sector in that country alone.



ENERGY
• 50% is rural and with no access to electricity
• Africa generates 47 GW of electricity, less
than 0.6% of global market share.
Many countries are affected by power shortages
• The region has the potential to generate 1,750 TWh of energy, of which only 7% has
been explored
.



MEDIA
• Radio is the major source of information in
Sub-Saharan Africa.
• Television is the second major source of
information. Because of power shortages,
the spread of television viewing has been
limited. Eight percent have television, a total
of 62 million.

.



INFRASTRUCTURE
• Less than 40% of rural Africans live
within two kilometers of an all-season
road, the lowest level of rural
accessibility in the developing world.

• It has been argued that Infrastructure investments contributed to more than half of Africa's
improved growth performance between 1990 and 2005 and increased investment is necessary
to maintain growth and tackle poverty.
• In transport and energy a majority of investment is state spending; in ICT and water supply and
sanitation, the private sector represents the majority of capital expenditure.

.



OIL AND MINERAL
• The region is a major exporter to the world of
gold, uranium, chrome, vanadium, antimony,
coltan, bauxite, iron ore, copper and
Manganese.

• Sub-Saharan Africa has been the focus of an
intense race for oil by the West, China, India,
and other emerging economies, even though
.
it holds only 10% of proven oil reserves, less
than the Middle East.



A G R I C U LT U R E
.
• The OECD says Africa has the potential to become
an agricultural superbloc if it can unlock the wealth
of the savannahs by allowing farmers to use their
land as collateral for credit

• In some countries ownership of agriculture land is
still challenging for foreigners and there are no
proper records of land titles



LOGISTICS
• Logistics in the region is very challenging, except the good
infrastructures in South Africa, due to lack of infrastructure
in the transport area
• Costs of transports is estimated in being 50% of the final
retail price in some landlocked countries or in the interior of
large countries.

H E A LT H
• The life expectancy at birth is about 55 years and it has
been growing in the last years

• However access to quality health care services and
medicines is still very challenging

ANGOLA – ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT


• About 50% of the economy in 2009 was related to the
oil sector. The Angolan market got a big shock in 2009
due to the drop of oil prices.
• Since 2009 the governmental focus changed and the
objective is to turn the Angolan economy into a more
resilient one, diversifying the economy away from the
oil sector



• Several steps are being given to improve the conditions in the market
:
• Special conditions are given to exporting companies that are
establishing in Angola
• Investments in the Energy sector to reduce the power outages
and increase capacity needed for industry and for economic
development in general
• Investments in the transport sector through the construction of
Roads, Railways and Ports to increase the logistical capacity

• Development of a logistical plan to improve the storage of
agricultural products throughout the country
• Decrease the dollarization of the market and rely more on the
national currency to improve the credit creation in the financial
sector


ANGOLA – TRENDS AND OPPORTUNITIES

Housing
There is plenty offer in the luxury housing market and there are
government programs to create affordable housing for the lower
classes. The middle class however doesn’t have a big offer at
affordable prices.
Only now there becoming available house loans from the banks but
still the houses available are very expensive.
EDF SKY RESIDENCE

Health care
The life expectancy at birth is at 55 years and access to medical
conditions, specially in the rural areas is very basic or inexistent. There
are some private clinics available but very expensive.
The most complicated operation procedures and clinical specialties are
normally done in Portugal or South Africa, by the upper and middle
classes.



Education
The education level of the population is still very low. One of the most
challenging aspects that companies face working in Angola is the quality of
the people.
There is a lack of quality private schools at prices aimed at the middle class.
Good technicians are very expensive and they change companies quite often
at a better offer. There are needs for technical schools in the following areas:

Leisure
Restaurants and bars are the main leisure attraction but there is still
lacking a offer for the middle class customer. Also there are very few
tourism done inside the country aimed at the Angolan costumer.



Agriculture and Agro processing
Agriculture is being one of the fastest growing sectors of the economy.
Angola has vast arable lands, although some are still being demined
from the civil war.
Agriculture and food products represent 15% of the imports. The
logistical network is still deficient but investments are being made to
improve. There are already several retail chains of supermarkets where
to flow the products.

Energy
The market for energy services and products will be very interesting
because this will be one of the mains focus of investment of the
government for several years. Angola is very deficietary in power
producing to meet its needs. It will need continuous investment to be
able to sustain the projected growth.



Logistics
The logistic infrastructure in the country is very challenging, specially in
the interior of the country. Distribution country wide is done by each entity
investing in warehouse capabilities, which is not possible for most of the
companies.

There is space for logistic hubs for region integration. This will be
enhanced in the future with the investment being done in roads and
railways.
Information and Communication Technologies
Regarding the communications there are already large players in the market and often is a very
controlled market. However there are still opportunities for service providers for the network expansion.
The institutions and most of the companies operating in the market are still very low users of
information technologies. There has been a effort from the government and large companies to
increase their investment in Information technologies for gains in efficiency and control.

MOZAMBIQUE – ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

The economic reality of Mozambique is very different from the one in Angola. The main contributor for
the GDP are the base metals and the Minerals, specially the Aluminum factory Mozal.
However the country is still far from having an economy that generates a surplus and a more stable and
strong economy.
In the past years the bet has been to develop the large resources deposits of Coal and Gas, which
presently has been bringing into the country large investments and the surrounding business activity.
The main areas of investment are Tete, Nacala, Pemba and Palma.
Here the main bulk of investment is being made by private
companies such as VALE, RIO TINTO, ENI, ANADARKO and
GALP. The government has been privatizing also the railway and
port operations to private entities, because of the lack of
resources to invest, maintain and operate on their own.
Some steps have also been taken to create a free zone in Nacala
to try to capture investments in industries. Some benefits are
given to companies who setup their facilities in there.


MOZAMBIQUE – TRENDS AND OPPORTUNITIES

Housing
The main driver in the housing industry has been the expat demand that
are moving into Mozambique. The prices have risen considerable in the
last years due to lack of offerings. This is more acute in the cities outside
Maputo.
Reconstruction works or new units are being done to catch up with the
demand.
Most Mozambicans cannot afford the prices of a house, but the middle
class is starting to have purchasing power although in a very limited way.
Edf. Polanas

Health care
The life expectancy at birth is at 52 years and access to medical conditions, specially in the rural
areas is very basic or inexistent. In Maputo, the more wealthy people and even in the middle class, it
is quite common to have medical exams in South Africa, due to the proximity and quality of the
medical services
In the more remote areas, normally where the multinationals operate, there are clinics sponsored or
owned by the private companies to give first response medical services public.
