North Africa

Do you want to expand your business abroad but don't know which country to start from? Then you should know that North Africa absorbs two thirds of Italian exports to Africa, so much so that the five countries south of the Mediterranean have for years, together with South Africa, been the top six markets on the continent for Italy. According to Istat data, in 2022 an export value of over 11.8 billion euros out of a total of 17.9 billion in Africa went to North Africa, with countries such as Egypt (3.8 billion), Tunisia (2.85 billion) and Morocco (2.2 billion) which saw significant growth percentages and numbers in line with pre-covid values. To this it must be added that in Egypt, Tunisia and Morocco the rate and above all the level of education are high and offer young and qualified personnel for the job market once the educational cycle is completed. The three countries therefore represent a good destination also for those who want not only to export but to invest directly in those countries.
