How does trade finance in Africa look?

Cape Town - Africa Trade Finance

Africa has always been a country that is shrouded in mystery and unknown risk in much of the trading world. Africa has the highest proportion of low GDP countries and contributes just 3% of global trade. Africa has not been able to take on new opportunities around global trade, partly to do with the lack of affordable trade finance.
