Sub-Saharan Africa could be the growth story of the future, but there are some major hurdles it must clear along the way to make that happen. The biggest hurdle in its future is the same thing that has propelled its position today - its reliance on China. It will rise and fall with the Chinese economy, and could be seen as a levered play on China in the near-intermediate term. If the Chinese growth story continues, Africa will grow with it, and will be able to extend its influence and diversify its supply route. Meanwhile, there are frontier stories all over the world that have just as much potential for growth. Because of the globalization of the world's economies and amount of interest in emerging & frontier markets (with and without QE), there will be a growing interest in retail structures that target regions of emerging economies, and themes that spread across multiple borders. Globalization is breaking down borders and creating a "sources vs best uses" world. Frontier markets may be the fastest growing region in China, the fishing industry in the Philippines/Indonesia, or the hospitality sector in Mexico/Venezuela/Cuba. As interest in Frontier Markets grows, so will the possibilities.
