Changing Dynamics of the Sub Sahara Africa Power Sector - Increasing Investments by Foreign Players to Drive Growth in the Region

Summary

GlobalData's "Changing Dynamics of the Sub Sahara Africa Power Sector - Increasing Investments by Foreign Players to Drive Growth in the Region" gives detailed information on the Africa power market and provides an overview of the key factors driving investment in the sector. The research analyzes investment trends in the regions power sector and also detailed analysis of the leading countries in this region. This, coupled with funding analysis, power finance structures provides a comprehensive understanding of the market's scenario.

Africa continues to suffer from perceptions of being a high-risk and difficult market even though it has enormous prospects for future growth in the energy sector. Its wealth of natural resources is spread across 54 independent states, which hold a combined population of 700 million. Historically, FDI inflows in Africa have been much smaller compared to the other developing regions. However, the economic growth and political stability witnessed by this region has greatly increased Africa's ability to attract more FDI over the last decade. On the economic front, the growth in the economy at 5% per annum since 2001 coupled with high prices and strong global demand for commodities attracted strong investments in the region. Additionally, governments are actively introducing policies, fiscal measures and reforms and creating improved business environments to actively court foreign investor groups. Growing political stability in the region, with over 20 countries embarking on democratic transitions in the continent and a rapid decline in civil wars, has also helped in creating an optimum environment for FDI.
