Mali voted one of the best places to invest in Africa“In a 2019 survey of fund managers by Exploration Geological Consulting (EGC), the majority of respondents selected West Africa, particularly Ghana, Mali, and Burkina Faso as the best places to invest in Africa”
“Emerging economies are catching on to Africa’s resource boom of the past decade and the continent’s potential to remain dominant on the global market. India, Russia, and Brazil are expanding in Africa’s mineral resource sector, increasing their investments and becoming more competitive for rights to known-resource-rich land and unexplored land. Africa still offers low costs of production, and the continent’s growing workforce provides a further incentive to expand operations.
Around 2012, more multinational companies—BHP Group, Rio Tinto, Anglo American, and Xtrata—started moving from high-cost projects, such as in Australia, to Africa. India has increased its investments in the continent’s metals and minerals sector, offering the potential to incentivize infrastructure development, increase mineral production, and create an entrenched system of value-added processing.
China in particular has demonstrated a formidable presence in Africa. Between 2005 and 2015, China’s investment in African mining industries multiplied by 25.”
