Sub Saharan Africa Is A Key Market For UK Businesses To Look At

Sub Saharan Africa SeminarThe IMF forecasts sub-Saharan Africa GDP to grow by 6.1% next year. With significant improvements in macro-economic and political stability, the time for Africa is now.

The event will cover Africa trade and growth, particularly in South Africa, Nigeria and Ghana, and opportunities across various sectors.

Incentives for exports to these countries is high with Nigeria’s imports from the UK rising by 99.2% in 2012 and offering similar business and legal practices, while Ghana’s bilateral trade with the UK was worth £216 million between January – April 2014, an increase of 8%.
