To get more capital, Africa needs more data
Live Mint“The concept of risk is completely invented to ensure that investment doesn’t come to Africa," Gagan Gupta told an audience of investors and entrepreneurs earlier this year, to resounding applause. Government debt across sub-Saharan Africa reached 60% of GDP in 2023, with two dozen countries’ debt burdens widely considered unsustainable. Equity valuations in stockmarkets are low, implying poor growth prospects or high risk: in aggregate, listed firms in sub-Saharan markets trade on 13 times profits, according to Bloomberg data. One kind of risk is of default on debt: Moody’s, another rating agency, reckons that default rates on infrastructure projects in Africa are low at 5.5%, compared with 11.9% in Asia and 14.5% in Latin America.
