The African Development Bank (AfDB) projects that the growing demand for housing in Africa will generate a $1.4 trillion investment opportunity by 2050. Akinwumi Adesina, the AfDB president, emphasizes that Africa offers a unique investment landscape that is currently underexploited. This investment potential is crucial for addressing the continent’s housing shortages and boosting economic growth. The report highlights the urgent need for investments in the housing sector to meet the rising demands of a rapidly urbanizing population in Africa, pointing towards a significant opportunity for both local and international investors.
