    Africa is not cashing in enough from its large gold resources, despite the spiralling price of the precious metal over recent years.

    Africa’s annual average gold production is 480 metric tons, or 20 percent of the total average annual global output of 2,400 metric tons.

    Banks have learned to adapt to their environment and have adapted through innovation and differentiation.
