COVID-19 ignited the largest global recession most of us have ever witnessed.
More than one year in, economies around the world are now looking for ways to recover — whether these bounce backs are driven by trade, diversification, or simply an increase in household spending.
In our latest webinar, Africa in Recovery: Economic Outlooks, we explore how African economies will perform in the coming years, in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. We also examine the opportunities that lay ahead for countries across the continent.
“At Refinitiv, we believe that Africa is likely to be one of the most important — if not the most important — investment hotspots over the next 10 years,” said Oliver Dancel Fiszer, Refinitiv Head of Economic Content, who moderated the webinar.
