Assessing Infrastructure Investment in Action through Canada-Africa Partnerships
Key infrastructure classes, including energy, road and rail transportation provide major opportunities across the African continent and are vital to realizing Africa's enormous growth potential. On Thursday 27 January 2022 the subject was tackled by some of the foremost experts at the forefront of infrastructure in Africa.
Top-level analysis from McKinsey & Company shows as of 2020 Africa’s pipeline of infrastructure projects included $2.5 trillion worth of projects estimated to be completed by 2025, across all asset classes - including projects in the feasibility stages.
Canadian institutional investors and firms are well-positioned to be major players in the financing and delivery of projects across a continent united under the African Continental Free Trade Area that came into effect last year.
Thank you to all who joined us for major African insights from the continent's top experts, in collaboration with Global Affairs Canada,.
