JR Boulle 7th Biennial U.S.-Africa
Dates: 9/28/2009 -- 10/1/2009 Venue(s): Walter E. Washington Convention Center 801 Mount Vernon Pl, NW Washington DC "The Corporate Council on Africa (CCA) considers the African Growth and Opportunities Act (AGOA) to be the most important U.S. - Africa trade act ever passed by the U.S. Congress...The African continent continues to show potential as a leading foreign direct investment destination for American businesses, despite the economic downturn nations around the globe are currently experiencing. According to the IMF, Africa is still expected to maintain a positive growth rate of 3.4% for 2009, an impressive achievement for the continent. Investments in Africa have long generated some of the highest rates of return on deployed capital, and every indication is that high returns on investments will continue. This reliable growth is due not only to the wealth of opportunities available in Africa, but also due to its continued efforts to debunk the myth that Africa is a risky investment through greater political stability and an unprecedented level of government reform in the past few years to attract foreign investment. Perhaps most importantly, African investment offers the opportunity to create new markets and sustain relationships vital to our highest national interests.
As the leading U.S. – Africa non-profit, membership organization, The Corporate Council on Africa (CCA) is an essential resource for U.S. companies currently, or exploring the possibilities, of doing business on the continent. "
