Research and Markets: Burundi, DR Congo, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia - Africa's Top 5 ICT Investment Markets
(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Dublin - Research and Markets (
http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/b466cx/burundi_dr_congo) has announced the addition of the "Burundi, DR Congo, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia - Africa's Top 5 ICT Investment Markets" report to their offering.
This annual publication consists of six individual BuddeComm reports: - The Top Five African Markets for ICT Investment - 2012; - Burundi - Telecoms, Mobile and Broadband; - Djibouti - Telecoms, Mobile and Broadband; - Democratic Republic of Congo - Telecoms, Mobile and Broadband; - Eritrea - Telecoms, Mobile and Internet; - Ethiopia - Telecoms, Mobile, Broadband and Forecasts.
Ict-Ia Index Benchmarking And Detailed Country Reports BuddeComm has developed the ICT Investment Attractivity (ICT-IA) index as a tool for investors to identify the most attractive information and communication technology (ICT) markets in a target region, be it worldwide or, for the purpose of this report, in Africa which continues to offer the highest growth rates and return on investment (ROI).
These extraordinary returns do, however, come at the expense of significant risks that African markets also pose to foreign investors. The ICT-IA index therefore takes various factors into account, including market growth, remaining potential, current and future services (voice and broadband data/internet), consumer spending power, and general business climate, to help investors identify those markets offering the best risk-to-opportunity ratio.
This report ranks the Top 5 most attractive African ICT markets, benchmarks them against each other and against regional averages, outlines currently existing or upcoming investment opportunities and analyses the risks specific to each market. The end result is a single index figure that tells investors how attractive a country's ICT market is compared to others, taking all the above criteria into account.
This information is backed up by detailed statistics for each country, market overviews and analysis, and profiles of major players in the mobile, fixed-line, internet and broadband sector.
