Aufgepasst, Europas linke und rechte Planwirtschaftler. Ihr werdet bald abgehängt von einem neo-liberalen Afrika: A week hardly goes-by without one or more international investors announcingmajor investment interests in Nairobi, or other African capital cities. On a macroeconomic level, the new Africa momentum has also been evident. Africa has weathered both the global financial crisis, and the turbulence in the Euro zone. According to World Bank’s latest economic outlook, Sub-Saharan Africa is projected to grow above 5 percent in 2012 and 2013. This would be higher than the average of developing countries (excluding China), and substantially, above growth in high-income countries. This means that at some point in this decade, Africa could grow above the levels of Asia.
