Restaurant Sra Bua by Tim Raue
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?

In our salon, two of the authors responsible, Dr. Jens Riese and Yassir Zouaoui, present the findings of the study and discuss with us possible reasons for achievements and challenges in further economic development as well as forecasts for the next ten years. What needs to happen for economic success to become a catalyst for sustainable development in African societies?
