Companies in the Natural Resources supply chain have gone from boom to bust in the past two years. Africa is the last great emerging markets where there is significant opportunity – a country with a vast natural resource endowment and home to over one billion people, many of them highly educated – should rank among the world’s most exciting emerging markets.
