Shree Lohana Mahaparishad, President Satish Vithalani said, “Amongst the top 20 fastest-growing economies of the world, 10 are African nations. Among these economies with rapid growth are those in East Africa. Tanzania has seen growth of 4.9%, Kenya of 5.5%, Uganda of 7% in the past, DRC is predicted to grow by 6.3%, and Rwanda has seen growth of 7.2%. Africa has the youngest population in the world with 70% of sub-Saharan Africa under the age of 30. With an abundance of precious metals and rising oil and mineral finds, Africa is also one of the continents with the biggest natural resource reserves in the world. Beyond the potential listed above, Africa also boasts a fantastically large Indian diaspora, which might serve as a link for expanding and developing enterprises. This forum will provide a high-level platform for Global Lohana Community as well as public-private dialogue and structured networking.”
