RSM IN AFRICA*

PEOPLE

REIMAGINING AFRICA AMIDST SEISMIC CHANGE The COVID-19 crisis has been a catalyst for dramatic change across Africa: the continent has struggled with an ill prepared health-care system, suffered from little fiscal headroom for supportive investments and experienced significant disruption across all sectors, most notably in the financial industry, tourism and hospitality.

RSM IN ASIA PACIFIC ACCESSING THE PURCHASING POWERHOUSE

Despite this backdrop, there are many opportunities in the change. The crisis is accelerating trends such as digitisation, market consolidation, and collaboration across countries both in the Region and outside. Across Africa they have a predominantly youthful population (median age 19) keen to embrace change and new ways to do everything.

The Asia Pacific region covers a vast area and a multitude of individual economies, each at varying stages of development and offering different levels of growth. Investing and doing business in the region requires knowledge of a number of facets that affect each country.
