Roundtable South Africa

South Africa offers a combination of developed first world economic infrastructure and a growing emerging market. Its potential lies in its diversity of sectors and industries. It is also a major trading nation, exporting and importing around €150 billion worth of goods every year, from a location that makes it an ideal gateway into African and other global markets.

South Africa is the leading services destination, regional manufacturing hub and most industrialised country in Africa. It has a growing middle class, affluent consumer base and excellent returns on investment. With government investment of more than €60 billion and continued investment in infrastructure, the country has the largest air and port network that links into the African continent. South Africa has a progressive Constitution and an independent judiciary. It has a mature, accessible legal system, providing certainty and respect for the law. The country is ranked no. 1 in Africa for the protection of investment and minority investors. The African Continental Free Trade Area will boost intra-Africa trade and create a market of more than one-billion people with a GDP of $2.6 trillion that will unlock industrial development.

The South African officials are looking forward to engaging with you in Nürnberg.
