Business leaders across Africa now want the continent’s $4.4 trillion worth of institutional and high net worth individuals’ capital held by fund managers freed up to accelerate investment in the continent’s vast natural gas deposits to boost energy sovereignty and stave off future vulnerability to oil price shocks.
