In 2017, Israeli officials signed a memorandum of understanding to invest $1 billion by 2021 to advance green energy and power projects across the 15 members of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).

MALTA - AFRICA ECONOMIC FORUM, 2021

 

Malta Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade Promotion Carmelo Abela launched the first policy document for public consultation, wherein Africa is being seen by Malta as a vital strategic partner for the coming five years. Focusing on trade, diplomacy and development, this policy document, entitled ‘Malta and Africa: A strategy for partnership 2020-2025’, concentrates on the exchange of wealth and creating opportunity in changing times between Malta and the continent of Africa.

 

In his opening address, Minister Abela highlighted the message that Africa is an emerging economic force. He remarked that Malta’s national strategy serves as a guide for the development of Malta’s relations with the continent of Africa in the period ahead, ensuring that Malta is not simply a passive player in a changing world, but an active contributor to solutions, and a worthy proponent of policy and opportunities for growth. In the Minister’s words, the strategy responds to the demands of a changing Africa and charts how Malta can deepen relations through the values of trust and the dialogue of partnership.

 

“To make this a success, we need to be part of the narrative of growth and opportunity in Africa”, stated Minister Abela, as he outlined proposals to build on Malta’s strong existing relationships include a greater role for Maltese business, a role that will help create new investment and trade which will be mutually beneficial to Malta and Africa. 

“There is a clear message emerging, which we must heed. Africa does not simply want aid. It wants trade, development and growth, more business-to-business contact and the sharing of skills and knowledge. Malta-based enterprises are well-placed to play a greater role in Africa, and we commit ourselves in this strategy to helping with the research, the networking, and the groundwork that can identify and facilitate two-way trade and investment”, said the Malta Minister.

 

Minister Carmelo Abela noted that the strategy also highlights the importance of development through the sharing of good practice, to empower a rising Africa by unleashing the potential of every person, irrespective of gender, creed, or orientation. It is to be noted that, in 2018, Malta’s expenditure for development, the majority of which was towards Africa, was over €28,000,000.

I feel we’ve also come to understand during the lock-down that we are all patches of islands, but together, we are the world. No nation has everything, so we all need to get other things in a way that will be mutually beneficial to all of us”

He revealed that in Asia as well as the global economy, Taiwan has always been one of the key players whom Africa can learn a lot from in terms of industrialization, human capital development and strategic planning.

Hon. Buchi George said that Globe Chambers of Commerce and Industry has strategically looked into what Africa and Taiwan can mutually offer each other and there is a whole lot in various sectors.

“There is a reason we expanded this programme to Africa. We understand that the economy of one’s neighbours can affect his own, so we believe that if we look beyond Nigeria to develop the entire African content, we will be getting it right”

“Economically, Africa needs to be great again and while the Covid-19 pandemic is still on, we need to put down viable recovery plans that can be kicking off any time. 2021 is a good time for us and we believe by then, everywhere will open up for us and other organizations working hard to make the world a better place” Hon. Nwabueze Buchi George said.

JAPAN - AFRICA ECONOMIC FORUM

Japan is seeking to diversify the range of its trade partners in Africa and encouraging SMEs and startups to invest in the continent. Tokyo is encouraging the expansion of Japanese SMEs and startups in Africa and the number of big Japanese firms investing in Africa is also increasing.

In 2019, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe spoke at the opening of the seventh Tokyo International Conference on African Development, known as TICAD, a multilateral event that holds every three years, and on this occasion staged in the port city of Yokohama. He told African leaders gathered for the summit that his government was determined to step up its engagement with the continent. 

Japan’s poor natural endowment has made the country dependent on the international market for natural resources. This is observed in the trading imbalance between Japan and Africa as a whole. In 2017, Japan exported $7.5bn in goods to Africa, one third of it to South Africa. In the same year, Japan imported $8.3bn from Africa, from which 57% were South African goods. 

The number of Japanese companies operating in Africa has increased from 520 in 2010 to 796 in 2017, but the Japanese government hopes to greatly increase that figure in the near future.  

With Africa as the fastest growing economy in the world, evidence suggests that Africa has now entered a cycle of strong economic growth. Investors are now positioning themselves to understand the opportunities across the African continent.
