Why should you consider Africa?

In the ten years from 2000 to 2010, six of the world's ten fastest-growing countries were in sub-Saharan Africa: Angola, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Chad, Mozambique, and Rwanda.

In eight of the past ten years, sub-Saharan Africa has grown faster than Asia, according to The Economist.

In 2012, the International Monetary Fund expects Africa to grow at a rate of 6%, about the same as Asia.

There are over 1.02 billion people in Africa, the world's second most-populous and second-largestcontinent, after Asia. Africa produces 90% of the world’s cobalt and platinum, 50% of its gold, 98% of its chromium, 70% of its tantalite, 64% of its manganese and one-third of its uranium.

Those are a few reasons why we believe you should consider Africa.
