According to the 2012 UNCTAD report on foreign direct investment (FDI), North Africa would have been very affected by the Arab Spring.While, the South of the Sahara would experience a "boom" none.
With a flow of 42.7 billion dollars in 2011, foreign direct investment (FDI) fell for the third consecutive year on African soil after the "2012 Report on World Investment" of Nations conference United for Trade and Development (UNCTAD), published July 5, 2012.
Between 2010 and 2011, FDI flows to North Africa is indeed gone from 13.6 to 5.8 billion as a result of the Arab spring.Egypt and Libya have been particularly affected.
The Maghreb however, is doing better.In full revolution, Tunisia has resisted maintaining its FDI inflows to 1.1 billion dollars in 2011.A figure that is finally settled at a level close to that recorded in previous years: 1.5 billion in 2010 and between 1.7 and 1.8 billion between 2007 and 2009.Algeria (2.6 billion dollars) and Morocco (2.5 billion) show the same FDI flows before the international crisis of 2008.
In this continent area the result is very positiv.FDI soared to $ 36.9 billion last year, approaching the historical peak of 2008 (37.3 billion).
"A continued increase in raw material prices and a favorable economic environment in SSA are among the factors contributing to this recovery," says the report.In fact, FDI in commodities dominate (about 25%) before the telecom, energy, real estate, commerce and industry.
