BUSINESS REMARKS

YAHOO BUSINESS NEWS SAYS:

  

China has been heavily investing in three countries — Nigeria, South Africa and Democratic Republic of Congo. These three countries received 40.3% of the Chinese investments between 2014 and 2018, with Nigeria receiving the largest share of Chinese investments, at $14.2 billion.

Several corporations have also been paying attention to the continent, with US companies having invested $48 billion in Africa, according to the Borgen Project. Some of the prominent US companies focusing on Africa include Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG), Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) and Cummins Inc. (NYSE:CMI). 

The Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG)’s ‘Google Africa’ has a number of projects in Africa, including the expansion of The Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG)’s own network, installation of Google Fiber, and investments in renewable energy.

Cummins Inc. (NYSE:CMI) has also been focused on development in Africa, while making a buck. In this regard, Cummins Inc. (NYSE:CMI) is establishing its local branches in many African countries to share profits with the local community. 

Finally, Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) is working with several organizations like World Vision in Africa and Riders for Health to improve access to quality education and healthcare on the continent. Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) also opened up a production plant in Nigeria in 2017. 

Chinese companies have also been investing in Africa. However, as of late, they’ve been investing more in West Africa, moving away from the traditional North African markets.

REMARKKS ON TOURISM

 

Development of the tourism sector in the Congo 

Worlddata.info says: The Democratic Republic of the Congo recorded a total of 351,000  tourists in 2016, ranking 142nd in the world in absolute terms.

The fact that  larger countries regularly perform better in a comparison of the  absolute number of guests is obvious. By putting the tourist numbers in  relation to the population of the Congo (Dem. Republic), the result is  much more comparable picture: With 0.0037 tourists per resident, the  Congo (Dem. Republic) ranked 197th in the world. In Central Africa, it  ranked 7th.

In 2018, the Congo (Dem. Republic) generated around  60.50 million US dollars in the tourism sector alone. This corresponds  to 0.11 percent of its the gross domestic product and approximately 5  percent of all international tourism receipts in Central Africa.

    Call-to-Action

    LET'S CHANGE THIS NARRATIVE

    The CDC, the US State Department and other world organizations are saying that the DR Congo and many African Countries are RED (Do Not Travel) or ORANGE  (Reconsider travel) zones; discouraging people from traveling and doing business in those African countries.

    Investing For Success and Sustainability

    Be part of the revolutionary and disruptive socio-economic fundraising platform that is a cross between conventional crowdfunding and the traditional African social crowdfunding (aka susu, tontine, likelemba, djangi, etc…). It’s proprietary Turnkey Opportunity Program (TOP) designed to raise venture capital for investment in social impact projects in diaspora communities across North America. My Green Ventures facilitates the flow of capitals from non- accredited investors into SME’s, which in turn will stimulate the local economies in the communities that are home to these diaspora groups.
