They are set to benefit disproportionately in apost-Covid world and enjoy strong demographictailwinds and secular growth trends.
Digital infrastructure

Financial services
In many respects Africa is already ahead of the global curve when it comes to innovative financial services solutions, especially mobile payments, but significant opportunities exist in supporting Africa combat low banking penetration rates and moves towards more cashless economies.
Healthcare

FMCG
