Another initiative Africa50 has been promoting, is asset recycling, whereby governments grant concessions to private sector investors in mostly revenue generating infrastructure assets, Alain Ebobisse, #Africa50 CEO, AIB II 2020, #AfroStructure.
The @AfDB_Group estimated that in 2017, African institutional investors had assets of about $1.2 trillion. If we could mobilize just a fraction of this for African infrastructure that should make a tremendous difference,Alain Ebobisse, #Africa50 CEO, AIB II 2020, #AfroStructure.
