Summary: | The publication of this year's
Africa Competitiveness Report 2007 (ACR) marks a new level
of cooperation in Africa. It is the first report on the
region's business environment to present a dual
perspective based on a combination of aggregate perception
data and firm-level data capturing the actual costs of
operating in national business environments; and the first
to leverage knowledge and expertise within the African
Development Bank, the World Bank, and the World Economic
Forum. The Report presents a unified vision and a mapping
of the policy challenges that countries on the continent may
address as a foundation for sustainable growth and
prosperity. The present report comes amid renewed optimism
against the background of a much more encouraging regional
business environment that is better now than it has been for
years. This report is an ongoing collaboration among the
three institutions. This report is intended as a tool for
African decision makers from private and public circles. The
report also includes detailed competitiveness and investment
climate profiles, providing a comprehensive summary of the
drivers of investment and competitiveness in each of the
countries included in the report. |
