USA
As the largest economy in the world, the United States (US) is an important driver of global trade and investment. Diminishing returns in the developed world and demands for higher growth opportunities have driven American investors to increasingly be interested in Africa as an attractive investment market. * This is a Representative Office only.

Investment opportunities
Growth in Africa continues to outpace advanced economies and many emerging market peers.
Improving macroeconomic conditions, greater political stability and improvement in the ease of doing business in many African nations are attracting greater interest and investment. With greater disposable income, Africa’s growing middle class is also attracting interest, with the continent increasingly being seen as a destination for investors and multinationals looking for opportunities.
Emerging markets growth is also driving greater competition for natural resources. With rich resource reserves, Africa represents an important source of natural resources for companies looking to secure their supply.
Our sector expertise in USA
Trade and investment flows are increasing between emerging markets, as well as between emerging and developed markets. The Corporate and Investment Banking team has specialist skills and proven cross-border transaction capability within and outside Africa, to connect you to these opportunities, helping you achieve your objectives.
While the US has focused on Africa for imports of natural resources for many years, imports of other products have recently shown strong growth. There are many investment opportunities within the African continent for power and infrastructure programmes, agriculture, wholesale and retail, financial services, telecommunications and IT.
