When the taps run dry: Egypt’s susceptibility to capital outflows

Portfolio inflows have become central in funding Egypt’s external position – a sudden reversal spells trouble for the North African nation. In this webinar we show how Egypt’s foreign reserve buffer would be impacted by a sudden deterioration in emerging market sentiment, what this would mean for the Egyptian pound, and how this might impede some of the economic reform progress made so far.

Africa going on the defence: Investments aimed at containing the ill effects of climate change

For most African nations, climate change is a matter of adaptation and not mitigation. Containing the continent’s carbon footprint will have significant policy and investment implications, but putting up defences against an inevitable rise in temperatures will be a top priority. In this webinar we give our view on how global warming will affect African economic development and which areas of climate change adaptation and mitigation we consider to be most important in South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, and Ghana.
