According to the OECD there are over seven million foreigners in Africa. The most important countries are: France (2.8 million) United States (988,000), the United Kingdom 833 000, the United States, Spain (423 000) and Portugal (439 000). A total of international migrants represent about 1.9 percent of the total population in Africa. While the exact number of emigrants by country is always difficult to find, Senegal, the main receiving countries of Algeria, Egypt, Botswana, South Africa, Kenya, Morocco, Tunisia, Mauritius, Seychelles and Ghana.
Despite the large number of expatriates and international migrants, there is little support for relocation of the continent, a gap even more critical in countries where tourism is not developed. And very few companies have a physical presence on the continent. Where there are in places like South Africa, Kenya, Morocco and Tunisia and Nigeria, the market for offshoring is much more segmented and it is still difficult to find a provider who has the ability to find moving, full-service global destination for inbound and Outbound agents offer.
One area relocation services, which saw the growth of real estate – such as the construction is booming on the continent, one of the sectors to be most cost effective – easy to reach 20 percent of returns in unexpected cities like Dakar, Accra and Rwanda. Even then it is in most cases, poorly organized and run by each agent with no formal list in most cities on the continent.
Nevertheless, there is nowhere else to have that support is even more important given the new expatriate destination in the emerging sector of the service with linguistic and cultural challenges associated with the pay certainly affect the ability of an assignee and be productive.
Part of what is at stake is the belief that Africa is largely undeveloped with no modern amenities and these expatriates who are ready to go to Africa, rugged adventurer who need help and for them to end. After all, why would they choose to go to Africa? There is also the (largely false, as the author for shipping markup for the continent rather rake in huge profit margins) show business, there is little money to move to be made in the relocation and business services. These misconceptions curb the expansion of business potential and make the transferee move cautiously to the mainland. Worse still, in the field of international development, in reality, hold these misconceptions Africa to benefit from the best minds that decide instead to electronic services to developing countries in Latin America and Europe.
African history needs to be constantly told about the views of western Africa and have him (balance I will always think of black South Africans, to me as a friend and “Africans” after a soccer practice, that a reprimand and a strong culture lesson from us) drove. For starters, it’s good to remember that it is a continent with 53 countries, with an incredible variety that is often in the same country, Cameroon is a good example with more than 200 different languages ??and is a representation of the full scale wildlife including another desert, savannah and rain forest! And while there are many things the right position on Africa should be established including the following:
• Many African countries (Ghana, Tanzania, Tunisia, Rwanda) are like the BRIC countries in the ease of doing business and corporate governance classified
• Africa has 36% of global emerging markets, 30% of mineral deposits, and 20% of world population in 2050, however, receives only 4% of foreign direct investment (FDI).
• Africa on a relative basis was stronger than most other emerging countries (not to mention the developing countries) in the recent global slowdown.
• Africa had the highest growth rate of private direct investments in emerging markets since 2004 and is expected to increase by 22% in 2010
• Africa has $ 980bn in infrastructure needs over the next 10 years (including energy and telecommunications).
• The profitability of foreign companies in Africa has been consistently higher than in most other parts of the world, says the UNCTAD study.
Since 1990, the rate of return on investment (FDI) in Africa is 29 percent, on average, and higher in 1991 than in all other regions for many years by a factor of two.
All this leads Jens Schleuniger, director of Deutsche Bank’s DWS Invest Africa LC Fund, said in an interview with Reuters. the potential of Africa is so great that investors should actually prefer to China, because their stocks are undervalued. According to him, “Few people know that Africa is the second highest in the region behind the most dynamic growth regions in Asia,” he said. Although, like many, he admits that there is a lack of confidence that many investors are too much importance to political risks. I think this is partly exaggerated. “
As a senior consultant in Africa for the International Monetary Fund (IMF), David Nellore presented in an earlier report in September, Sub-Saharan Africa today looks like Asia in the 1980s. “The private sector is the main driver,” wrote Nellore “, and the financial markets are open.” The war is low. Democracy is in place. Inflation and interest rates in the single digits. Terms of trade have improved.
For those who still doubt my sense of optimism on the continent, they would find tea in Chinese and out what drives their enthusiasm on the Continent. While the former superpowers still tormented by the poverty in Africa, China is fascinated by his wealth. Trade between Africa and China by an average of 30% over the last ten years, more than $ 106 billion last year. Chinese engineers are writing at work across the continent, mining for copper and cobalt in Zambia, the Democratic Republic of Congo and oil in Angola. “We continue to be a powerful tool to have here, and Chinese companies will also continue to invest as much as possible,” Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi said in South Africa in January. “It’s a win-win solution.”
Overall, the wealth of Africa, current economic growth with its economic potential for an increased need for good information and gives the move, support and services that are connected to a smooth move and work efficiency.
