This is the second conference which Omega has organised on this particular theme and it could not
come at a more appropriate time. The economic outlook for the African continent is the best it has
been for many years.
This improvement in Africa’s growth outlook is largely a bi-product of commodity prices. The oil-producing
countries, like Angola, Sudan and Nigeria, are going to do best. But high prices for copper and gold will
ensure high growth rates in the DRC, Tanzania, Ghana and others.
As the Indaba conference in Cape Town in February confirmed, international mining interest
in Africa is hot …………… and that is what this conference was about - new opportunities,
new developments and new sources of investment.
