SURVEY | CIAN 2024 Survey Results: Business Sentiment in a Growing Africa

Africa’s economic momentum remains a standout on the global stage. According to the African Development Bank (AfDB), the continent’s real GDP is projected to grow by 3.7% in 2024 and 4.3% in 2025, recovering from a slowdown to 3.1% in 2023.

With 40 African countries expected to achieve higher growth rates than the previous year, the continent remains the world’s second-fastest-growing region.

However, these promising figures tell only part of the story. The reality on the ground differs from country to country and sector to sector, and raises key questions:
How are these macroeconomic trends perceived by businesses operating across Africa?
Do companies see this growth reflected in their day-to-day operations?
What progress and challenges have marked the business climate in 2024?
These are the questions at the heart of the 2024 CIAN Barometer, the annual survey led by the French Council of Investors in Africa (CIAN).

ANALYSIS | No Claim? No Problem. Rethinking Creditor Rights in Insolvency Law

A recent judgment handed down in the Johannesburg High Court in Single Destination Engineering (Pty) Ltd and Another v Van Den Heever N.O. and Others (14 April 2025) has brought both clarity and controversy to the question of who qualifies as a "creditor" entitled to inspect the books of a company in liquidation under section 360(1) of the Companies Act 61 of 1973 (as preserved by item 9 of Schedule 5 to the Companies Act 71 of 2008) ("the Act"). The court's answer may reshape creditor participation and redefine transparency obligations in the insolvency landscape.

Did you know that disability affects 1 in 6 people worldwide?

According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), over 1 billion people globally live with some form of disability, yet disability inclusion remains one of the most overlooked areas in corporate diversity strategies.

From inaccessible workplaces to unconscious bias in hiring, people with disabilities continue to face systemic barriers that limit their participation in the workforce. And it is not just about physical access, it is about representation, understanding, and intentional inclusion.

Inclusive practices do not just benefit individuals with disabilities; they foster a stronger, more innovative, and more equitable workplace for all.

At the French South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FSACCI), we believe real inclusion means everyone has a seat at the table. That is why we are hosting a DEI Roundtable on Disability & Inclusion, where we will engage with experts, members, and advocates to explore practical, forward-thinking strategies for building more inclusive professional environments.

Let us go beyond compliance and create spaces where ability is not the exception, but part of the norm. For more news, check us out here: https://www.fsacci.com/news/news-diversity.html
