Great work on Nubian Cheetah. I believe I saw that one.
Ken:
I agree with you. But you know what I believe, I believe that to a large extent gov’ts are followers, they are very big. But nonetheless, they are adept at follwing the investment. If you look at some of the top ecnomies and then go back for a few centuries to half a millenium, we might see that the gov’ts and laws were built around certain industries, which in turn were built around entrepreneurs.
I believe we will see this happen in African governments also (it is already happening in some), the one’s that don’t adapt will be voted out.
Pablo:
I enjoyed that quote too.
Hash:
Excellent piece. What we are seeing now is just the tip of the iceberg too. It will get bigger, my only thoughts are how do we involve the continent’s tiny players and entrepreneurs so that they don’t get left behind…Maybe that is food for thought for the 3rd carnival of africa enterprising…Thanks Hash!
]]>The Bernstein quote I liked there was:
“Most of the emerging market stories are well known and arguably have been played out judging by some of the markets’ extreme valuations. Africa, however, presents an opportunity that maybe quite risky, but that might over-compensate investors willing to take risk over the next decade”
