African Continent: Not a Dark Continent After all.

Waterbury Financial Strategies Inc CEO / Founder Rahim Thawer post this week “African Continent: Not a Dark Continent After all.”

Africa has been termed as “the Dark Continent” ever since the existence of the human race due to various factors such as its inconsiderable role in the global economy. Well, this is not the case anymore and as we see that the economies of the so called developed nations are constantly challenged and besieged by its own created system. Not so much in a state of equilibrium and perhaps we won’t see it for some time till the dust settles.

We are scrutinizing that a number of investors are drawn to the opportunities within Africa from the development of basic manufacturing sector to more complex systems such as state of the art technology. Africa is in the making and the middle class is growing rapidly to accommodate changes that are taking place all around. The future of Africa is as bright as the sunlight, given that it may take five to seven years before it can gain momentum to compete with the industrialized nations. However, during those times, the return on the investment is astounding and very attractive for an investor.

Some of our partners have allocated billions of dollars to be invested in Africa over a ten year time period. These investments will be channeled into various different demographics and industries in general. These investments will not only yield high returns for the investors but also build up a first class nation that will rise in the ranks and compete eye to eye with other nations and will be equipped with all the necessary resources such as intelligence, understanding and funds.

To better serve Africa, we will need to work together and form new alliances and give a helping hand to communities that are less fortunate. We will need to foster entrepreneurship and walk on the same path as they do, but define new destination that will help in the growth of not only an individual but a community. Investing in Africa will not only yield high returns but also potentially eradicate poverty in some communities which itself is self fulfilling.

My Thoughts: Let Africa be known as the New Shining Star. Kwaheri Rafiks!
