With forty years’ background in the economics ofAfrica and the developing world, Duncan Clarke is aleading writer, thinker and speaker on economics andgeopolitics in Africa. Founder and Chairman ofGlobal Pacific & Partners, an advisory firm, his recentwork includes Africa: Crude Continent – The Strugglefor Africa’s Oil Prize (Profile Books, 2010; now aCNBC Africa TV/Film documentary).

Throughout the centuries, Africa has concealedmultiple secrets, waylaying and confounding theunwary. Today, as economists, politicians, experts and the cognoscenti from within and outside thecontinent seek to “fix” Africa and its perceivedproblems, the need to understand its mysteries hasnever been greater.

Africa’s Future tells the tale of Africa’s economicevolution, providing unique prisms through which toview the continent’s panoramic story – ultimately oneof triumph over the influences of nature and overmultiple political tragedies. It explains how Africa ineffect went backwards for one and a half thousandyears, from the Roman Empire to 1500 CE. Only inmore recent times has Africa gradually begun toevolve and grow, to the point at which its modern and archaic economies uneasily coexist today.

Modern Africa has developed diverse economicpathways to betterment – yet survivalist economiesstill litter the landscape. The continent’s paradox of“subsistence with many faces” is manifested in its tinymiddle class, its growing numbers of rich, and theever-greater numbers of poor expected in the future.

Duncan Clarke, acclaimed author of Africa: CrudeContinent and an acknowledged expert on theeconomics and geopolitics of Africa, provides freshand challenging insights into our vision of Africa’seconomies and future, offering seasoned views on acontinent of enormous potential which has witnessedmany false dawns. As his discerning analysis shows,Africa is coveted as much by the developing empiresof today as it was by other empires in the past. And ashe suggests, perhaps this rich continent’s destiny canindeed be discerned from its embedded history.

08:15 Session 1: Africa’s 21st Century Economic Future

What will drive Africa’s economic future to 2050? Is the prognosis for high or modest GDP growth, and will Southern Africa perform better than in the past? Natural resources provide a key asset for the future, while corporate investment is critical to raising the investment rate needed to sustain economic growth.

10:00 Session 2: Africa’s Investment Potential & Future

Investment in Africa has risen in volume and value with an uneven spread across economic landscapes and between industries, with resource-based capital investment and FDI inflows leading the charge. A wide range of investors is now active with more partnerships in-place although competitive threats and risks remain for the future and uncertainty has increased with softening and volatility now found in the commodity price cycle.

Africa’s resource base is undeveloped – in agrarian assets, land, agro-allied ventures, minerals, oil/gas and unconventional fuels, as well as in human capital.
