When I was a young man starting my career, Asia was the continent of growth and opportunity. That’s why I went there in 1996, and stayed nearly 25 years, before relocating to Africa in late 2020.  

I believe Africa will be the new Asia. In the past decade, 7 of the world’s 15 fastest growing economies have been in Africa.  Post-pandemic, there’s no reason this won’t continue.

In a word: Demographics. They are going to go from being a drag on growth, to a major contributor to growth.
