The hopeful continent – interesting read from The Economist
It’s uncanny reading the article below side by side with the one written exactly 10 years ago (HERE)
It looks like the Economist, the world leader in Afro-pessimism is finally turning around and seeing the facts rather than pre-conceived notions about the continent
Cheetahblog Commentary: For Africa to continue to succeed and grow economically, the world needs more access to business and investment information, local investment transparencies and business reporting on what is working on the continent and why. The Economist’s article is a good beginning but articles like it have to be more frequent. My complain is that we get a get a good report on Africa like this one once every five years or so, then nothing but just bad news in-between.
Just like business and investment news everywhere else in the world including, Latin America The Middle East and Asia, African business news and investment reporting should be included in the weekly new roundups of Western publications (including the Economist). This way, real positive business news on Africa would not be seen as a surprise or one, off but taken as just normal business reporting on opportunities on the ground in Africa.
