At 11 am today, I’ll be back at BusinessEdge on News Central TV to discuss my recent Proshare.co op-ed: Turning 2026 Global Risks into Global South Opportunities. My host is @_iamperpetua We’ll be examining how rising geopolitical tensions, geoeconomic fragmentation, climate shocks, and information disorder are not just warning signs, but signals of how the next phase of the global economy is being reshaped, and what this means for Africa and the wider Global South. Looking forward to a thoughtful conversation on strategy, neutrality, and agency in a changing world. @NgBeLuBusForum @ThomasDeBeule @PieterLeenknegt @The_Nextier #GlobalRisks #GlobalSouth #EconomicDiplomacy #EconomicDiplomacyOfTheDiaspora #AfricaInTheWorld
