Economy of Africa
In recent years, more and more African countries have begun opening their markets to investments from other countries where bilateral ties between the continent and others have been developing. Development are on the rise and this situation was helped with the recent 2010 World Cup in South Africa which opened up many business and investment opportunities. Oil and gas have been one of the recent industries that have grown by leaps and bounds after it was found off the coast of some countries here like Nigeria. African nations too have had long trading ties with many countries in Europe while they are also working towards building more relations with the Asean nations most notably the recent agreement with China.
