According to recent reports, the combined GDP of African countries was over $2.5 trillion in 2020, and the International Monetary Fund projects sustained economic growth in the years ahead but still behind the world’s major economies.
The continent’s vast market size, growing consumer base, and abundant resources present a compelling case against the notion that there’s no money to be made in Africa. However, the continent certainly faces its share of challenges, such as infrastructure gaps and bureaucratic hurdles. Recently, Africa is proving to be a fertile ground for innovation and economic development with a growing number of successful businesses, entrepreneurs, and start-ups emerging across the continent.
In this article, we are showcasing a success story that highlights the immense money-making potential of this vibrant continent for investors looking to diversify their portfolios and tap into new frontiers. Debunking the title statement, investment potential is becoming increasingly evident across various sectors especially modern technologies like Cryptocurrencies and traditional markets like real estate. Projects like Direct Property Africa who have managed to mix crypto and property, challenge the perception that the continent is an untapped market devoid of lucrative investment opportunities.
Outdated and Misguided Notion
A common falsehood that ignores the genuine potential of the investment climate on the continent is that there is no money to be made in Africa. With over 1.3 billion inhabitants, Africa has a rapidly growing consumer market and a wealth of natural resources.
The population of the continent is rapidly urbanising, and the middle class is expanding, creating a burgeoning consumer market with a desire for goods and services. African nations are seeing strong growth in sectors including real estate, telecommunications, e-commerce, renewable energy, and financial technology, which has attracted a lot of foreign direct investment. Furthermore, the continent continues to draw foreign investors and fuel economic growth thanks to its abundant natural resources, which include oil, gas, minerals, and agricultural products.
So, let’s dispel the myth that there isn’t any money to be made in Africa and rephrase the claim to say that most investors don’t know how to make money there.
New Ways to do Traditional Things
While the region undoubtedly faces impediments including administrative red tape, forward-thinking businesses are figuring out methods to overcome these constraints and realise Africa’s full potential. An example is Direct Property Africa and its DPAToken project.
Direct Property Africa is a Web3 real estate and infrastructure ecosystem including a crowdsourcing marketplace for property developers to raise funding for projects in major African cities like Cape Town, Lagos and Accra using asset-backed equity NFTs. DPAT is the utility token of the ecosystem offering rewards and privileges to holders.
According to the project whitepaper, “a change in how we build and finance core projects across Africa, from hospitals to hotels, residential property to commercial buildings is at the heart of what Direct Property Africa Token wants to upgrade. We have noticed a shift in how real estate is bought and sold across the continent and want DPAT to be at the forefront of that change and adoption.”
The project is in stage 3 presale and with clear project goals combined with obvious token utility, it’s understandable how it has raised over $800,000 in such a short period of time. With the team fully KYC’d and smart contracts audited by renowned auditors Solidproof, it’s not tough to see why many crypto enthusiasts are marking DPAT as a short-term income generator with long term capital growth potential.
Conclusion
In conclusion, dismissing Africa as a region devoid of investment opportunities would be a grave oversight. It is crucial to recognize Africa’s potential as a vibrant and dynamic investment destination with projects like DPAToken leading the way. By debunking the myth that there’s no money to be made in Africa, we open ourselves up to a world of possibilities and tap into one of the most promising emerging markets. With a rich tapestry of cultures, a youthful population, and a drive for innovation, Africa stands poised to redefine the global investment landscape.
