4 Why Africa? Africa has over the past decade an unprecedented improvement Based on structural phenomena, demographic and geographic, it is accompanied by an increase in exports, improved terms of trade, an increase in final consumption and significant transfers of migrants. Characterized by good macroeconomic indicators (inflation decreasing: from 15% in 2000 to 8.1% in 2011, more controlled foreign debt from 63% of PIB in 2000 to 22.2% in 2012). However, its growth is heterogeneous, fragile and insufficient 48 Sub-Saharan African countries do not face the same problems of development. Balance of commodity exports undiversified weakens by exposing them to the volatility of world economies. In 2011, the African IHD remains below 52% in the North American IHD, against 56% in Many companies driving development of the continent, still lack access to long-term financing. They form what is called the «MISSING MIDDLE». INVESTISSEURS & PARTENAIRES PRESENTATION - APRIL 2013 PAGE 4
