Report | EAIO Economic Newsletter - Mining Sector in EAIO
The October's monthly letter by the French Treasury in EAIO focuses on Mining Sector in EAIO.
The monthly East Africa and Indian Ocean (EAIO) study has just been published by the SER of Nairobi, with the contribution of the SE of Dar es Salaam. This month's letter focuses on Mining Sector in EAIO.
A region rich in mining potential, but still largely under-exploited, which is striving to increase its attractiveness to foreign investors.
The EAIO region possesses significant mineral resources that are often poorly explored, with countries such as Madagascar, Rwanda, Kenya and Sudan ranking among the world's leading producers. In 2021, the region's mining exports reached nearly 9 bn USD, mostly in gold. To attract investment, EAIO countries are revising their regulations and seeking to formalize the artisanal sector, despite persistent structural challenges. Significant progress is expected in improving working conditions and protecting the environment.
