Goolam Ballim on Africa's response to COVID-19 at the Africa Investors' Conference

Standard Bank Chief Economist, Goolam Ballim, unpacked the
African continent’s response to the impact of COVID-19 and the
challenges and opportunities for Africa at the 10th Africa
Investors’ Conference. 


Standard Bank is hosting its 10th Africa Investors' Conference
using a specially enhanced Microsoft Teams platform to host over
2500 meetings over 5 days, doubling the number of meetings hosted
in 2019. In line with current world trends, Standard Bank Group
has adopted a digital approach to enable African corporate
clients and leading policymakers to connect virtually with some
of the world’s leading institutional investors.

The conference will run from 22-26 June 2020 and will be hosted
against the backdrop of an uncertain environment as the #COVID19
pandemic and national lockdowns remain very much to the fore.
With the impact of the current crisis in mind, participants will
access significant opportunities to collaborate and exchange
fresh ideas, helping to drive growth on the continent.
