An interesting finding from the Africa Country Benchmark Report (ACBR) that we'll be putting out soon: that in the Business categories Africa countries score highest in Market Freedom. This is the only occurrence of such unanimity in the four ACBR quadrants, and is of interest to business-oriented ABR. 

What does this mean for Africa?

What is the Significance of Market Freedom score, what it says about African government's recognition in their economic policies about the need for Market Freedom.

While these scores are high relative to other scores, those other scores are poor and Market Freedom scores are mediocre. What is required for improvement? what are the encumbrances to market freedom, economically and politically?

Once Market Freedom is established it is not a safe and absolute policy forever, but one that is compromised by States of Emergency, government corruption that distorts economies and other factors.
