The Narrative
Africa has for the longest time been painted with images such as poverty, underdeveloped, and ODA, and has been continuously the most exposed and vulnerable to global crises such as rising interest rates, geopolitical tensions, climate change, and recently covid pandemic.

With many of the traditional rule-of-law of finance and investing being put into question, we see Africa and the Global South playing a more principal role in the Global Economy arena in the future.
