Interesting elements to me:

- The prevalence of drinking and dining establishments amongst oldest-national businesses.

- And banks / mints / financial institutions.

- The relative youth of oldest-national-businesses in Africa. Most notably Equatorial Guinea with Guinea Equatorial Airlines, the country's oldest business corporation, founded in 1996.

This suggests either a data artefact in which older going concerns are not formally reported (or those reports available), or an extreme level of institutional instability.

Possibly both.
