Is Africa really “too risky” for investment—or are we stuck on outdated stats?
Africa’s investment default rate is just 1.7%, far lower than 13% in Latin America and 10% in Eastern Europe (AfDB/Moody’s Analytics).
And with 75% of Africa’s population under 35, a $3.4T free trade market, and $29.4B in investment deals sealed in 2024, the narrative is changing fast.
