Quarterly index
Africa Investment Readiness Index

The quarterly benchmark for investing intelligently in West Africa.

AIRI tracks regulatory frameworks, institutional accessibility, and cofinancing potential across West African markets — so you know where capital flows most efficiently.

The problem we solve

The quarterly benchmark for investing intelligently in West Africa.

Every quarter, the landscape shifts. A new mining code in Guinea. A regulatory reform in Ghana. A DFI mandate in Senegal. If you are not tracking these movements systematically, you are investing on stale information.

Most investors rely on annual reports or ad-hoc intelligence. But the windows of opportunity in West Africa open and close on a quarterly cycle. By the time the annual report comes out, the window has moved.

AIRI gives you a structured, quarterly benchmark across three dimensions that directly determine how efficiently capital flows into a market — so you can compare markets objectively and time your engagement.
