South African Delegation to Join CCA for the 7th Biennial U.S.-Africa Business Summit
The Corporate Council on Africa
(EMAILWIRE.COM, July 23, 2009 ) Washington, DC - The world’s eyes are turning to South Africa as it prepares to host the 2010 World Cup! Attend the 2009 U.S.-Africa Business Summit to get a taste of the possibilities!
Last week, Moody’s Investors Service upgraded South Africa’s foreign currency rate from Baa1 to A3. This rating has the potential to help lower the costs of the county’s foreign debt and attract more foreign investment. The Corporate Council on Africa will host a large delegation of business leaders, government officials, and non-profit organizations from South Africa at the 7th Biennial U.S.-Africa Business Summit.
As South Africa prepares to host the 2010 FIFA World Cup, its economy is expected to see a $6 billion boost from construction investment with a further $2 billion in revenue from the expected 1.5 million tourists. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, approximately 700 U.S. companies have a presence in South Africa.
