Capturing Business Opportunities in North Africa While Avoiding Risk

Arezki Daoud presenting in Florida, US

The North Africa Journal is pleased to provide a free presentation on how to capture business opportunities in North Africa while avoiding risk.

North Africa has been providing substantial opportunities for companies willing to invest on the right type of go-to-market strategy and some risk taking. With booming infrastructure projects, limited exposure to the global financial crisis and the expected economic recovery, North Africa should be included into the portfolio of international corporations and global investors.

While opportunities abound as the region expands as an emerging market, it is also home of critical flaws that could threaten your business. Such flaws require a good understanding of the risks to manage them appropriately.  Understanding all these risks should provide companies a better appreciation of their exposure in the region.

Leading Analyst Arezki Daoud provides a concise description of the opportunities that global corporations should consider as they contemplate either a first-time entry or an expansion. The focus is on the Maghreb region, which comprises of Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Libya and Mauritania. Arezki also provides an inventory of challenges that range from the bureaucratic hurdles of managing a business in the region to labor and hiring issues.
