Mo Ibrahim Business Quotations

Africa was perceived - it still is to some extent - as a place which is very difficult to do business in. I don't share that view.

Business people get many undeserved prizes - golden parachutes and bonuses even when companies fail. I don't think people should get rewarded for screwing up.

Business is global. Countries need to react to that; taxes need to be paid where profit arises.

Experience counts in government even more than in business.

In the final analysis, finding a way to do clean business and not to pay bribes actually improves your bottom line.

I really don't have heroes in business; I never looked up at business people.
