Join us in conversation with industry experts as we explore the implications of a global recession on Africa’s economies.

 

Is Africa on the brink of a global recession?

 

As the world’s major economies struggle with inflation and supply chain challenges, some experts warn of the possibility of a global recession. Others believe this is merely a slowdown in the wake of the global pandemic. Either way, there are numerous implications for Africa’s economies. Our invited experts will weigh in on the impact of a recession on the competitiveness of Africa’s business sector and how this may vary by industry and country.
