Mines and Money launched its inaugural African mining investment
event, welcoming 180 delegates to the financial centre of Mauritius
for three days of exclusive meetings, deal-making and knowledge-
sharing on investment opportunities in Africa.
An expected US$80 billion of foreign direct investment is expected
to enter Africa this year and this includes significant investment in the
mining sector. As Asian countries continue to secure raw materials
for ongoing urbanisation and infrastructure projects, Mines and
Money Access Africa delivered a platform to connect Asian capital
providers with executives from mining companies operating in Africa.
Attending delegates from the mining industry met with Chinese
SOEs and POEs, international fund managers, sovereign wealth
funds and Asian steel producers in exclusive private meetings
during the three days. The investor delegation included Chinalco
Resources Corporation, China Mining United Fund, China Investment
Corporation, China Africa Development Fund, Essar Steel, JSW
Steel, JOGMEC and more. Joining them were leading institutional
and private investors from Europe, South America, Australia and
North America.
Delivering analysis and discussion during the conference this week
was an impressive line-up of experts, including the Oman Investment
Fund, China Chengtong Holdings Group, CRU, China Iron & Steel
Association, Rio Tinto, Tata Steel, Imara Asset Management, AfrAsia
Bank and many more. The programme was designed to highlight
investment opportunities in the region while examining government
policies, evaluating risk and providing advice on how investors can
gain the best returns on their capital.
Mauritius has established itself as a leading financial centre for the
African continent due to its favourable investment environment, sealed
with 19 investor protection treaties and 17 taxation agreements with
Sub-Saharan African governments. With its positioning as the bridge
for Asian investment into Africa, it provides a fitting location to host
the conference and exhibition, identifying opportunities for investors
in a neutral location while showcasing how Mauritius can act as a
platform from which to invest efficiently in the African continent.
We are looking towards working with our partners to grow the event
next year and hopefully this post show report will show you why and
how Mines and Money Access Africa should be part of your event
schedule for 2015.
