International Property Portfolio Summer 2016 / 2017 | Page 50

South Africa remains the top investment destination
in Africa, attracting more foreign direct
investment than its continental peers of Kenya,
Morocco and Egypt.
Investors are attracted by the fundamentals of
the market, including its institutions, capital markets
and governance, all of which are deemed to
be strong. South Africa continues to boast one of the
best operating environments in Africa and
offers a stable platform from which to expand into
other parts of sub-Saharan Africa.
Investors are attracted by the property opportunities
in South Africa for a number of reasons, including a
favourable exchange rate and the relative
ease of purchasing a property in the country.
There is also a serious shortage of property in the
major metro areas – translating into a high
growth potential ensuring that an astute investor
benefits throughout the property cycle with
guaranteed high returns.
