Africa's size, diversity and unique challenges mean potentially rewarding investment options often end up filed away in the “too difficult to consider” box.

To help overcome this barrier and provide investors with the help they need to make better informed decisions, Knight Frank has launched its new research report - Africa Horizons.

The report focuses  specifically on investment opportunities across arguably the world’s most exciting continent and covers everything from big impact economic themes to occupier themes and residential investments in emerging countries.

Africa is on the move. In terms of trade, global influence, wealth creation, transparency and ease of going business, all the indicators are shifting in a really positive direction.

For private and institutional investors, this report aims to help decipher some of key socio-political and economic trends, painting a clearer picture of the  opportunities that are emerging across individual sectors, including healthcare, hospitality and student housing.

Of course, challenges remain, particularly for those investors who rush in unprepared. However, for those armed with the best insight and advice, their future investment strategies in Africa can be very rewarding.

Knight Frank has the most comprehensive African network of any real estate business and is well positioned to help you invest in this amazing continent.
