The next online meeting in our monthly Africa Investment Exchange (AIX) programme is being held between 12h00 and 13h30 GMT on 25 January.
The AfricaHardball webinar will provide a frank examination of the political pressures and flash points – from sovereign debt to PPA renegotiations – that may impact on the energy sector in 2022 and beyond.
Critical subjects to be covered include:
- Key flashpoints around the continent – Sahel, the Horn, North Africa (Western Sahara and Libya) and other problem areas;
- Upcoming electoral and other politics – including Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa;
- Climate change impacts and opportunities – will the money flow in 2022? Will degraded environments drive more conflict?
- Economies’ emergence from Covid and other crises – a positive year ahead for who?
- Risk mitigation – is the financial architecture fit for purpose?
