South Africans stay strong as Nigeria slumps in Africa

摘要

Africa's leading economies faced adverse conditions over the 2016 review period, as low commodity prices continue to shake the continent's growth trajectory. Dealing with a shortage of foreign exchange, heightened political risk and volatile currencies, the performances of some regional lenders have suffered. Yet, as the rankings demonstrate, this is not a one-dimensional story. In some cases, African lenders have improved on their positions in the Top 1000 ranking, helped in part by prudent growth strategies and diversified business models.
