Africa Market Update - July 2017

We are pleased to release the July 2017 Africa Market Update with pre-election coverage for three countries - Angola, Kenya and Rwanda. In these three countries, we take a look at key factors likely to shape the forthcoming elections with particular interest in Angola (with an anticipated change of guard for the first time since 1979) and Kenya (where we expect a hotly contested race between the two dominant factions).

The issue concludes with our thoughts on the disconcerting disparity between high economic growth and low growth in wages in select economies in Sub-Saharan with a focus on Kenya, Botswana and Uganda.
