Popular equity investments, such as shares in Safaricom, are already trading at unexpectedly low levels. If real estate prices were to fall dramatically, a chain reaction could occur, taking down big and small investors alike, and over time causing wide suffering to ordinary Africans.
所有这些因素都表明非洲可能发生金融破产。流行的股权投资，例如Safaricom里面的股份，已经在以低得出乎意料的水平进行交易了。如果地产价格急剧下降，就会发生连锁反应，大小投资者同样受困，一段时间过后还会给许多普通非洲民众带来痛苦。
