21 Key considerations when thinking of investing in Africa Current vs. Potential development Location Nature of opportunity Must-have or knock-out factors Time Scale Slide 21

22 Key themes from the report African cities need to be looked at through a different lens. Potential to grow should be considered along current level of development. The available data and analysis has limitations and only tells part of the story. There is no substitute for going to have a look Access to markets - middle class consumers in the city and the country/region to which it is a gateway - is more of a long term determinant of success than natural resources Infrastructure and human capital take time to develop but often critical to success. The upcoming fast developing opportunity cities face significant human capital and infrastructure challenges which limit their economics The role of the public sector policy makers (and related development of institutions) in guiding a city is important to the private sector. The building blocks are infrastructure, human capital but also security. Where this is in place, culture and society starts to flourish Slide 22
