Massive investments in roads, ports, airports and rail – accompanied by the cutting of red tape – is making it easier to move cargo in and out of the main East African markets.
In the lead at present, according to the PwC Africa Business Agenda 2017 released in early May, is Kenya, which is ranked first choice by African chief executive officers looking to expand beyond their home markets.
South Africa is ranked second, with Tanzania and Mozambique joint sixth. The PwC survey also ranks Africa’s future megacities (over 10 million people) in terms of infrastructure, human capital, economics and demographics.
Nairobi is ranked 7th, Addis Ababa 9th, Kampala 10th, Kigali 13th, and Dar es Salaam 15th. Johannesburg is rated third after Cairo and Tunis.
