Trends on China in Africa INTRODUCTION China’s presence in Africa is the topic of many papers, articles and arguments. Over the past few years, the Chinese government and its private sector became major players on the continent in trade, investments, and support for African governments. AFRICA China has diversified its sources of energy to meet growing domestic demand. Three of its national oil companies (NOCs) increased their investment in Africa to secure oil supplies, which accounts for almost 30% of their combined international upstream capital spending (capex). Within the next five years, these NOCs are projected to become the fourth highest source of capex in Africa’s upstream sector, after global counterparts BP, Shell and Eni SpA. They will invest US$15 billion in Africa, with two-thirds of their investment going to Nigeria, Angola, Uganda and Mozambique.1 The opportunity for exports from Africa to China presents an interesting counterpoint to China’s investments in Africa. Some commentators suggest that China can narrow its trade surplus with African countries and help them develop more economic growth by importing more value-added products from Africa. China’s consumer market is the world’s largest, and is growing at 16% compared to a US consumer market that is growing at only 2%. Unsurprisingly, private sector companies from Africa are increasingly interested in entering the Chinese market.

    LAGOS, NIGERIA 1 April 2021 Group Audited Results for the Full Year ended 31 December 2020 Access Bank delivered solid and resilient top-line figures despite a challenging economic and regulatory landscape. This is an attestation to our long history of resilience, scale, dedicated people and sustainable business model. Our resilient business model ensured that the Group adapted to accommodate the resultant macro-economic downturn and headwinds of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Group recorded gross earnings of ₦764.7bn (+15% y/y), arising from a 112% y/y growth in non- interest income to ₦275.5bn, which is testimonial to the effectiveness of our strategy and capacity to generate sustainable revenue. Profit Before Tax stood at ₦125.9bn despite the high cost of operating the enlarged franchise and the increase in net impairment charge of near ₦43bn arising principally (~50% of net impairment) from a Structured Trade Finance (“STF”) portfolio in the Access Bank UK. The STF impairment is one-off/COVID related and recoverable over the next 12-18 months against insurance cover from world class insurers. We also recorded consistent growth in our retail banking business, leading to a 5.8mn growth in customer sign-on during the year via our financial inclusion drive and retail revenue of ₦177.2bn (FY 2019: ₦107.8bn). Customer deposits grew by 31% to ₦5.59trn in Dec 2020 (Dec 2019: ₦4.26trn) with savings account deposits of ₦1.31trn. Similarly, net loans and advances grew by 18% to ₦3.61trn (Dec 2019: ₦3.06trn).

The one-hectare plantation he cultivates was originally owned by his grandfather. Charles has taken over the family business with tireless dedication. “If you don’t work hard, you will go hungry,” he says. The Muheria farm produces more than 12 tonnes of coffee beans a year, which Charles sells to the Gatanga cooperative. The earnings have helped him and his wife, Jacqueline, put three children through school. But the farming life has not always been kind to Charles. Five years ago, Kenya’s coffee-growing The Muheria family industry was in decline. Growers were harvesting only half of what they had reliably produced 10 years Ethiopia’s fruit-processing capacity. While IFC before, and the quality of the coffee beans had fallen, Investment Services focuses on the financial terms of reducing income. the project, IFC Advisory Services works to ensure that Today, the country produces almost as much coffee as small-scale farmers are included in the expanded out- it did in 1989.

Nkurunziza, Léonce Ndikumana, and Prime Nyamoya 3.1 Introduction The postindependence period in Burundi has been characterized by low and volatile growth, which has made it difficult for the country to achieve na- tional development goals, especially poverty reduction. Factors that account for the sluggish and volatile growth range from physical constraints (e.g., Burundi is landlocked) that raise the costs of production and trade, to po- litical instability (Nkurunziza and Ngaruko 2008). The country’s political and economic instability has constrained the mobilization of public and private domestic resources, thus limiting investment, entrepreneurship, and growth in productivity. Yet private investment and enterprise development are important drivers of employment creation, poverty reduction, long- term growth, and economic resilience through diversification and expansion of the growth base.
