Geopolitics in Africa: How will international shifts affect African private markets?

With both local elections coming up in Africa as well as the upcoming 2024 US presidential elections, there's reason to take a cautious look at how the future of the world will be shaped. Economic and politics developments in Africa are closely tied together to those of the US and the rest of the world, and though the African private markets are ripe for growth, and with frugal prospects ahead, there's no harm in looking at some of the risk these geopolitical movements might bring forth.

Arne Elias Corneliussen, Founder & Chief Executive Officer, Norwegian Risk Consulting International (NRCI), joined us at SuperReturn Africa 2023 for a candid chat about how geopolitical dynamics and global trends are driving risks and opportunities in Africa, how he's expecting the 2024 US
elections to impact US-Africa relations and what travelling by bus across 30 countries in Africa taught him about private markets on the continent.
