User:Druiz002/African Lion Economies

The African Lions refers to a group of African nations that currently have a dynamic economy and are likely to lead the development of the African continent. Among others, this expression has been theorized by Acha Leke (and his team), from the McKinsey office in Lagos,.

It is a category equivalent to the Four Asian Dragons and the Tiger Cub Economies.

Composition
The number of African Lions varies according to different sources, but South Africa, Nigeria, Morocco and Tunisia are typically included. Egypt and Algeria are often added to this group, as they each account for 10 to 14 percent of Africa's GDP. Angola is also usually included. The African Lions account for ca. 65% of Africa's GDP.

African new emerging countries could soon reach a development level comparable to those mentioned above and be thus considered African Lion Economies. Namely, Ethiopia, Kenya and Ghana

De nouveaux pays africains émergent et pourraient avoir la légitimité d'intégrer cette liste : l'Éthiopie, le Kénya ou le Ghana.
