Sub-Saharan Africa is considered one of the least developed regions, but with the greatest opportunity for GDP growth. Political, technological and structural forces have all converged, and this will result in rapid industrialization. Although the region is also blessed with abundant natural resources, it is an unrivaled consumer story.
