12:01 CAT | 25 Apr 2017
Mozambique is the 13th most attractive country for investors in Africa in the short and medium term, according to a ranking compiled by consultancy Quantum Global Research, which places all the remaining Portuguese-speaking African countries in the bottom half of the 54 countries analysed.
Angola comes 24th, Cabo Verde 28th, Sao Tome and Principe 36th, Guinea Bissau 42nd and Equatorial Guinea 47th.
The ranking does not provide the reasons that lead analysts to place Mozambique in this position, but the coutry shows a strong improvement since 2013, when it came 23rd in a list led by Botswana, Morocco and Egypt.
Neighbouring countries besides Botswana – still leading the log – are ranked as follows. South Africa is 4th, Zambia 5th, Tanzania 8th, Namibia 9th, Swaziland 14th and Zimbabwe 37th.
The African Investment Index is divided into six sectors: Growth Factor, Risk Factor, Demographic Factor, Liquidity Factor, Business Environment and Social Capital Factors, each with several items including, among others, the country’s size, the economy, economic growth, population, ease of doing business, Facebook penetration rate, foreign debt, rating agencies’ rating and exchange rate risk.
