World Law Forum Conference on ​Investing in Africa
| In collaboration with The Law |


El Gouna, Egypt | 11-12 October 2019

> ABOUT


Over the past few years, Africa has emerged as an exciting investment destination. Despite being afflicted by concerns of political and economic instability, currency and commodity price fluctuation and infrastructure deficiency, as well as questionable governance, the continent continues to attract investors eager to diversify portfolios and dip into sectors and industries which, though challenging, have significant room for growth and high return. 2019-20 should see investor appetite growing as several countries, such as, Egypt, South Africa, Nigeria and Kenya continue to see undeniable returns for those willing to venture into some of the choppier waters of African private equity.
