Points clés à retenir
Africa presents a massive infrastructure investment opportunity with a current investment gap of over $150 billion per year. The continent is home to some of the fastest-growing economies in the world, with a combined GDP of $2.3 trillion and a population of 1.3 billion people. But only 60% of the population has access to basic electricity, among other infrastructure challenges. With funds like the AfDB-backed Africa50 Infrastructure Acceleration Fund I and a growing middle class, the continent’s infrastructure market is poised for substantial growth in the coming years.
