AFRICA: THE SHINNING STAR

Investment Opportunities in Africa

Many investors have been skeptical when it comes to investing in Africa. This is due to the bad publicity and the way Africa is portrayed in the western media. But the reality on the ground is that, according to IMF Africa has 11 of the 20 fastest growing economies in the word. Rwanda and Ethiopia are among the best performing economies in Africa. Furthermore according to the World Bank African countries are also improving in terms of easy to do business with and Rwanda is at number 3 and Ethiopia at number 13 in Africa. Africa is very suitable for investment as witnessed by its growth rate as compared to the developed markets and other emerging markets. In sub Saharan Africa GDP growth is expected to average 5% in the next 10 years which is higher than 2.5% expected in USA and 1.5% expected in Western Europe. According to the Business Report Ethiopia expects 11% economic growth rate in the year 2013/2014 and Rwanda is expected to grow by more than 7%. Furthermore Rwanda is now the second most stable country in Africa after Botswana.

The company that seems to understand the African continent better is GreenDreamCompany in the Netherlands. They have planned to spend 15 Million Euros of investment in Ethiopia and Rwanda. GreenDreamCompany transforms rural areas into world class tourism destinations. Their aim is to make a positive change in people's lives and reduce poverty. Their projects are developed, realized and exploited according to the European standards. They have three projects which are explained as below:

Their first project- Their first project is in Ethiopia and it’s called the Gorgora Nova Rock Resort. It will consist of a world class hotel and villas. The structures of the buildings are inspired by the surrounding king’s palaces. The resort will have beautiful family parks that can be used for relaxation, family pick nicks and weddings. This is achievable as the gardeners’ have already started planting trees and flowers for the park. The hotel will have facilities for conferences, meetings and marriages. The other activities that will be found at this resort are some water sports in the form of sailing. Those who would want to learn the sport will receive some lessons from a well qualified instructor. Furthermore there will be a recreational boat that can be used for business meetings, for wedding purposes and other uses. This project is at an advanced stage as compared to the other projects because a pilot building has been constructed which is being used as an information center, roads are being made, plants and flowers are being planted, and the ground has been leveled. This project has its own facebook page as shown below. For more information, photos and videos of this project please visit: https://www.facebook.com/gorgoranovarockresort?ref=hl

Their second project-The second project is in Rwanda at Lake Kivu and it is called Mbabara Island Eco-Resort. They will build hotels and hotel villas on the island using the modern ecological technology. This will be accompanied by a sailing school and some water sports. This project will be successful as it is the first of its kind in the country as it will create entertainment and facilities for business meetings and weddings.
