Since 2003 Africa’s Economy displays enormous growth rates. This growth relies upon a profound basis, since Africa’s increasing industrialization promises a stable and sustainable growth potential in the future.Africa holds a considerable stake of the world’s natural ressources, especially of oil, dimonds, cacao and gold. The continent’s export economy can therefore profit from China’s endless hunger for natural ressources.

The strongest economies in today’s Africa are represented by South Africa and Egypt. Since 2003 both states display average growth rates of over 4% per year.
