Capital catalysts – Funding development when budgets are tight in Africa

In this presentation deck, we grappled with some of the Africa’s most pressing issues for 2024 and beyond. We explored Africa’s alternative funding strategies during challenging times, examined the continent’s growth hotspot, and unpacked South Africa’s political economy in the lead up to the general elections in 2024.

What you will learn:

1. African governments will have to embrace financial innovation while keeping a grip on socio-political risks.
2. East Africa will remain the continent’s fastest growing region by nurturing good relations with multilaterals, through well-targeted fiscal spending, and by embracing private sector participation.
3. The ANC will contest next year’s elections in the weakest position it has been since full democracy, while the country faces a twin electricity crisis.
