For the second time, the McKinsey Global Institute is presenting a comprehensive report on Africa’s economic situation and development entitled “Lions on the Move II: Realizing the Potential of Africa’s Economies”. The analyses show how differently the individual African countries are developing economically.
How can economic success become a catalyst for sustainable development in African societies?
