The Business Leaders Forum highlighted growth opportunities African economies can benefit from through the promotion of direct inter-African investments.
Vice-president of the Economic committee of this employers’ organization Brahim Benabdeslem underscored “the African nature” of Algeria, affirming that development of the country cannot be achieved without strengthening economic relations with other African countries.
According to him, Africa must be seen as a development potential, not only as market.
This vision will be emphasized at the African Investment Forum of Algiers.
