Importance of the subject matter
The business landscape is undergoing continuous change, and the COMESA region, as a vibrant emerging investment destination, is the least understood market where information is generally scarce or outdated. The COMESA Investment Forum aims at informing about opportunities on offer by discussing issues pertinent to the region and promoting collaboration between COMESA’s member states, Africa and the world at large. By assessing the true cost of risk, as opposed to the perception, and ways to mitigate this risk, the COMESA Investment Forum responds to the needs of investors and policy-makers alike.
