09.10 Macroeconomic overview: Contextualising Africa within global tradeRonak Gopaldas, Head of Country Risk, Rand Merchant BankGraeme Harrison, Head of Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA), Macro Consulting, Oxford Economics
This macroeconomic overview will bring a group of expert analysts together to consider Africa’s position in a new global trade environment. Points for discussion will include:●● How is Sub-Saharan Africa looking to conduct trade business in the new world order? Where are the most fruitful trading relationships likely to come from?
●● With ongoing concerns over protectionism, to what extent is the continent likely to be impacted in the case of a global trade dispute?
●● External factors: Have we seen a change in the US strategy for engagement within Africa? Is there any greater clarity on the implications of Brexit and a UK ‘pivot to the Commonwealth’?
●● With several African elections taking place over the coming year how does the democratic landscape look? How significant are the security concerns?
●● Changing economic shifts: Which markets are well placed when it comes to capex investment and which are lacking?

Part one of this stream will bring together borrowers and other vital players to discuss key themes and share experiences when it comes to undertaking projects in Sub-Saharan Africa. Topics for discussion will include:●● How strong is the appetite for undertaking business in ‘frontier’ markets? Is there sufficient support available when it comes to capex financing?

●● Sharing experiences of working with banks, donors, ECAs and other providers to support project preparation and accelerate economic transformation

The second part of the stream will quiz representatives from leading export credit agencies to discuss the current appetite for undertaking business in Africa, including:●● How do ECAs see the current climate and where do they see the best opportunities? What are the most appealing projects being undertaken? ‘What is hot and what is not?’
●● With the lack of a Board quorum limiting US Exim activity in the African market, how has this impacted the strategy of ECAs in Europe and other key markets?
●● ‘Every cloud has a silver lining’: To what extent does the downgrade of South Africa’s credit rating provide an opportunity for the ECA community?
●● Is Francophone Africa where the untapped opportunities lie? How can non-French contractors tap into these?
