Partner Deal Strategy
Over many years, Japan’s foreign direct investment position in South Africa and across Africa has grown and new investment opportunities have been pursued.
Africa is likely to achieve higher-than-average growth rates, with a significant number of multinationals having declared their organisations’ growing presence in Africa. Many of the largest Japanese companies have been present in Africa and South Africa for many decades, spanning across sectors such as automotive, heavy industry, mining, consumer, logistics and financial services.
At a regional level, the Southern Africa economy is largely dominated by Africa’s largest market, South Africa, which has managed to weather the recent economic uncertainty mainly due to a combination of strong private sector, its broad commodity endowment and diversity of the economy. Prudent monetary policies have also been a contributor. The country has a well-capitalised banking system, effective regulatory systems, a strong services sector, the largest stock exchange in Africa as well as a well-established manufacturing base.
