11 North Africa: Fast Growing Market Dynamics The North Africa region is home to over 160 million people. This equates to 65% of the entire MENA region (Middle East and North Africa) population. North African countries have some of the fastest growing economies in the world. Viewed as emerging markets, they have grown at a rate of over 5% p.a. Average GDP per capita for the North Africa region is twice that of the developing world as a whole. This places the region above any other emerging economic area. Typically, North African economies are still maturing, but play an increasing role in the economic affairs of Europe, Africa and the Middle East. There is continued stability in the region, supported by major governmental liberalization efforts. For example, many markets are opening up to free trade and competing freely in foreign markets. The need for increased capital to support growing businesses and new ventures is large. Only now is significant capital being focused on the MENA region as a whole, and North Africa specifically. 11

14 North African Market Landscape is rapidly changing The North African market is still developing rapidly. It has however reached a level of maturity to stimulate healthy demand patterns across most economic sectors driven by both businesses and consumers. Although demand is strong and growing, free market forces have been interrupted through: A long history of governmental intervention; State subsidies; Price controls These factors, combined with subsequent privatization initiatives, have created extreme supply shortages in a number of goods and services. North Africa population in general are experiencing an unprecedented explosion in discretionary income on a purchasing power parity (PPP) basis. This purchasing power is on par with the top emerging market economies in Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin America, and Russia. 14
