Africa today is a continent keenly watched by powers across the globe, with booming prospects for business given the size of the market, a favourable demographic dividend and fast developing economies. The prospects for growth in Africa are however interspersed with local implications of global events, infrastructural inadequacies and the spectre of climate change. While the occurrence of seven military coups in the continent since 2021 has raised concern about political stability as a determinant for ease of doing business.

MitKat’s Africa Risk Review seeks to survey the risk landscape across 54 states in the continent, identify the impact of recent developments on the ground and project operational risk ratings for 2023 and beyond.
