Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>The UK\u2019s Foreign Direct Investment in Africa stood at approximately \u00a339bn in 2018. By 2022, CDC the UK\u2019s Development Finance Institution, aims to make up to \u00a32bn new investments across Africa<\/p>\n

Since 2002, the UK\u2019s Private Infrastructure Development Group has invested over \u00a31.95bn into 146 infrastructure projects across Africa. There are more African countries with shares listed and trading in London than on any other international stock exchange.<\/p>\n

The UK government\u2019s Department for International Trade (DIT) Africa has more than 100 staff located across 23 of Africa\u2019s 54 countries. This represents a nearly 20% increase in personnel in the region since 2018.<\/p>\n

Over the past 12 months, trade between Africa and the UK increased by 7.7% and is currently worth nearly \u00a334.2bn. Last year, DIT Africa helped UK companies secure business that generated \u00a31.2bn of value back to the UK economy.<\/p>\n

UK Export Finance covered \u00a3600m of exports on the continent. The DIT focuses on adding value for UK companies through country and sector expertise. The DIT supports UK companies exporting to or investing in Africa. It also focuses on the business environment. This includes trading arrangements, as well as market-access barriers.<\/p>\n

The DIT operates across all sectors, but focuses particularly on infrastructure, oil and gas, mining, agribusiness, defence and security, renewable energy, financial and professional services, healthcare, education and skills.<\/p>\n

The UK is helping to use aid funding to alleviate poverty and also address the UK\u2019s prosperity objectives. DIT Africa has been seeking to replicate the effects of the current EU Economic Partnership Agreements and Association Agreements with African countries.<\/p>\n
