Shaping Africa’s Economic Future
Africa is on the brink of a historic transformation. With 1.3 billion people today and projected toreach 2.4 billion by 2050, the continent will soon represent one-quarter of the world’spopulation. This demographic shift is not just a statistic—it is an economic opportunity thatmust be seized.
