Answer to Question 1

Sub-Saharan Africa not long ago was the world's worst region for conducting business because of corruption and bureaucratic obstacles, but with many conflicts ending and better economic practices, the region's business climate is much improved.

The peace dividend and improved governance is an attractive mix of factors that has led to a surge in foreign direct investment (FDI).
