🔴 Investissements Européens en Afrique : De l’Aide au Développement à l’Investissement, le Pari du Global Gateway 🔴 Portée par une croissance attendue de 3,5 % en 2025 et 4,3 % en 2026, au-dessus de la moyenne mondiale selon le FMI, l’Afrique confirme son statut de terre d’opportunités. Pour ne pas rester en marge, l’Union européenne (UE) mise sur son initiative Global Gateway, dotée d’une enveloppe de 150 milliards d’euros pour l’Afrique, ainsi que sur un Investment Hub censé dépasser la logique de l’aide au développement et dynamiser les investissements privés européens sur le continent. Par Szymon Jagiello 🔴 En Savoir+ → forbesafrique.com/investisse… #ForbesAfrique #Investissements #EU #Afrique #GlobalGateway #ECDPM
« Cette initiative vise à adopter une approche véritablement axée sur la stimulation de l’investissement, allant au-delà de la simple aide ou des subventions allouées à des projets, afin de mobiliser davantage les financements provenant des secteurs public et privé »
