Please find the link to a new paper I have authored, published by the @WorldBank Africa Growth and Opportunity Research in Action (AGORA) Series, entitled „African Trade and Investment for Global Resilience“.

particularly around capital gains tax, and investor skepticism becomes inevitable. This could slow the strong 25%+ investment growth recorded in 2025. While the CBN forecasts 4.5% GDP growth, high interest rates and fiscal risks make that outcome unreliable. ~5

This isn’t to dampen investor enthusiasm, but for transparency to guide expectations. Happy New Year! ~fin

So this post was a big performer I see there’s huge interest in Africa (both closet & open) 😁 While much of the attention is on exits, opportunities never go unnoticed. With that in mind, @deaLort0 is opening its doors to more partners. ~1
