Extract B: Foreign direct investment in Africa
In 2018, foreign direct investment (FDI) in Africa rose to $46 billion, an 11% increase on the
previous year. Morocco and Kenya saw some of the biggest rises in FDI, although many
nations in Sub-Saharan and Central Africa experienced falls. Nations with high and stable
growth seem better able to attract FDI inflows.
It was expected that increased rates of economic growth in Africa, along with progress towards 5
the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) agreement and key improvements in
infrastructure, would boost FDI. Multinational corporations (MNCs) from developing countries
have been expanding their activities in Africa but investors from developed countries remain
key. French companies are currently the largest investors in Africa, followed by the
Netherlands, the United States and the UK. Africa is a key producer of commodities and with 10
higher demand and rising commodity prices, FDI inflows are expected to increase even further.
The growing number of special economic zones (SEZs) are also likely to help Africa attract
more FDI. SEZs are areas with relaxed trade rules, little regulation and little or no tax on firms
that invest in the zone. This makes locating in a SEZ very appealing to foreign firms. The
creation of these zones has helped to promote development in several Asian economies and 15
many African nations hope to make their economies more business-friendly. There are an
estimated 237 SEZs in the African continent already.
FDI can have many benefits. It should create employment, boost long-run economic growth
and increase exports. SEZs and improving competitiveness should contribute to the
achievement of key macroeconomic objectives and the development of a country’s economy. 20
