Sub-Saharan Africa is changing, as countries reform their business environments and growth accelerates. New opportunities abound in infrastructure and other sectors, offering high returns on FDI. BMI looks at opportunities and risks in Africa, with a ranking exclusively developed for the telecom sector. MIGA Perspectives looks at the region's opportunities amidst challenges, one of which is the often perceived high political risk environment. While businesses use a variety of instruments to mitigate risk, Collective Action: Business Responses to Political Risk in Africa discusses how the private sector can improve Africa's investment climate by diminishing political risk through collective action.
