“I think we are finding ourselves in such a challenging economic cycle. Coming out of a pandemic, heading straight into a war, rapidly rising interest rates and this global all time high inflationary cycle we find ourselves in. Cost of living has also increased extensively in SA if we think about electricity, medical aid, food prices, fuel. All of these aspects need to be managed in our portfolios and to still find the balance to plan for retirement and a healthy financial balance whilst merely surviving financially,” explained Ms. Brink.

In addition, the panelists will explore several burning questions regarding the future of Africa: How is Africa faring in the global economic downturn and where the big opportunities are? What role does China play in Africa’s development, and what is the local sentiment? Which sectors are best positioned for growth in a today's economy?

“Im incredibly excited to discuss the challenges, but also incredible opportunities we find ourselves with in Africa at this stage. With crisis comes opportunity – we need not forget that,” reiterated Ms. Brink.
