22nd February 2010
The Johannesburg Stock Exchange & Frontier Advisory: Morning Seminar
Green Shoots: Prospects for African Funds & Capital Raising in the Post-Crisis Economy
Event: Africa’s underdeveloped financial systems have not insulated the continent from the impacts of the financial crisis, as low commodity prices, depressed external demand, and declining remittances have resulted in decreased growth in the continent. Private capital flows to the region, mainly consisting of foreign direct investment (FDI), have slowed to a trickle, hindering economies that had been relying on these flows to finance much-needed infrastructure and natural resource access projects. However ‘green shoots’ are starting to emerge with a number of frontier African markets predicting an upswing in 2010. The ability to attract sizeable African funds as well as to raise capital for key projects is key to Africa’s growth and development.

Join us as we discuss the prospects for Africa funds and capital raising in 2010.
