Africa – A Continent on the Brink of Economic Success
Africa has a great potential. The proximity to the European markets, the abundance of natural resources and the population growth render the continent an attractive target for investors. The daily newspaper Die Welt is not the only one to speak of an "Economic miracle, made in Africa". Consultants predict an "Africa boom" so that Der Spiegel and the Financial Times Deutschland acknowledge "Africa makes up ground in economic growth ".
