Self Employment rate and GDP
Entrepreneurship – on average across countries - is a leading indicator of the cycle and Granger-causes increases of GDP. This suggests that entrepreneurs have an essential role in explaining business cycle dynamics. And, more specifically, it suggests that entrepreneurs play an important part in recovering from economic recessions.

Africa Really ?. By Erika Amoako-Agyei
Africa is 30,3 million km² and thus is larger than the combination of:
China (9,6 million km²),
the US (9,4 million km²),
Western Europe (4,9 million km²),
India (3,2 million km²)
and Argentina (2,8 million km²)
plus the Scandinavian countries and the British Isles with room to spare.

TRADE WITH BRICS
64% IMPORTS from CHINA
58% EXPORTS to CHINA
I. Essential Markets Trends for Africa 2011 and beyond
Africa is, and will continue to be, one of the fastest-growing economic regions in the world, thanks to surging demand both from abroad (from China and India in particular) and at home (fuelled by urbanization and consumerism.
Telecoms, banking, retailing, manufacturing and even agriculture will be the the region’s fastest growing sectors: Africa’s consumer market will
account for the region’s largest growth. Energy from renewable sources, sun, water,wind, biomass, waste Low cost housing Rapidly expanding, Africa’s youthful workforce, will be a key advantage. Smart phones will be the fastest-growing category of handsets, even in the poorer areas,
where they often serve as a substitute for PCs. . commerce will flourish in 2011. Africa is well positioned to profit from natural resources as global demand for commodities
continues to rise.
Companies that succeed in these neglected emerging markets are not only putting down roots in the world’s most fertile soil. They are giving themselves a chance to establish business habits for years to come.

EIB European Investment Bank
The EIB has not so far produced any evidence that its loans have actually benefited local populations and not corrupted leaders and businessmen even in more stable political circumstances. The EIB has invested in North Africa since 1979 but civil society activists say the lender concentrated too much of its investments on the energy sector.Between 2006 and 2010, the energy sector accounted for about 93 percent of the 1.85 billion Euros lent by the EIB to Egypt and 46 percent of lending to Tunisia.
Promotion of SME equity financing
This can be achieved by retaining greater reserves within the firm, and by seeking sources of external private equity rather than debt finance.
FTL – Finance Transaction Levy

Micro-financing for SMEs, said Gian Franco Terenzi, President WUSME, particularly in agro-industry will have priority for WUSME's Action Plan. This can be achieved by creating national“Mutual SME - Funds for Crises Prevention and Development”, financed with theCTL Currency Transaction Levyand a small percentage of the VAT that SMEs collect free of charge for the Finance Ministers.
