Africa’s Rich Set To Get Wealthier From Technology Boost

The technological expansion will improve the efficiency of African businesses in the coming years. Increased use of technology in businesses will also increase the number of rich individuals in Africa.

According to Faizal Bhana, director for the Middle East, Africa and India at state-funded Jersey Finance, rich people in Africa will get wealthier from technology boost. 

The first generation became entrepreneurs in their teens and twenties, and are now in their sixties and seventies. The second generation will take over businesses from the founders. The wealth transfer from the older generation to a new generation that is more educated and tech-savvy will increase the net worth of individuals in Africa over the next 5 to 10 years. The new generation has increased the use of technology in businesses.
