South Sudan: US investment agreement


The United States’ Overseas Private Investment Corporation (Opic) has signed an investment incentive agreement with the government of South Sudan supporting US private sector investment. The first investment Opic will support in South Sudan is the construction and operation of a 150-room hotel in Juba by Delaware-based Aquila Investments and Jordan’s Taher Investments. The agreement was signed at a South Sudan Investment Forum in Washington on 17 April, organised by the US Agency for International Development.
