"North Africa offers international PC vendors an opportunity to gain a strong foothold in a very dynamic emerging regional IT market. Liberalization and privatization in key sectors such as banking, energy, and telecommunications will drive IT purchasing in this region over the short term." – Roman Maceška, Senior Research Manager, IDC CEMA
