WEF Davos: Sub-Saharan Africa – Next Growth Hub?

The session on Africa, chaired by Gordon Brown, a former UK prime minister, brought together presidents of South Africa (Jacob Zuma), Guinea (Alpha Conde) and Tanzania (Jakaya Kikwete) and prime ministers of Kenya (Raila Odinga) and Ethiopia (Meles Zenawi).

While it is true that the SSA’s transformation has only just begun to take off and faces a number of political and institutional challenges, SSA might be slowly emerging as the next “growth pole” of the global economy, according to Ethiopia’s Meles Zenawi.
