In February, Africa Investor, a premier provider of investment data, research, broadcast and published content to the investment community in sub-Saharan Africa invited me to participate in its survey on investor relations practices on the continent. The results which are published in the March edition of the magazine reveal a growing interest in the field and sharpened focus among practitioners on the issues they need to tackle for IR in Africa to assume the respected stature it enjoys among its peers in developed markets.
Catherine Wright of Africa Investor’s Johannesburg office co-ordinated the survey.
