Geopolitical risk: Around the world in 30 minutesOur panel of experts will give you a region-by-region overview of geopolitical risk, covering MENA, Sub Saharan Africa, Latin America, Asia and CEE/CIS.2016 has been almost unprecedented in terms of political risk, from heightened security threats across Europe to conflict in the Middle East. As we move into 2017 alerts are still high. In what’s been termed a “Geopolitical Recession,” the USA seems to be all but renouncing its position as the linchpin of the global economy and the European Union in the midst of an existential crisis. The flipside of the populism coin is hitting the Middle East and Southern Africa, where increased access to online and social media threatens the stability of opaque governance regimes. So, what’s the outlook and how can you prepare yourselves to withstand it?Robert Besseling, CEO, ExxAfrica
