      Economist Professor Waldo Krugell joins us to interpret late‑2025 economic indicators and what they reveal about an economy that is showing slow, but measurable, improvement while still weighing on regional performance.

      Executive Director of the Centre for Risk Analysis, Chris Hattingh, offers further perspective on what the latest growth revisions suggest about South Africa’s current position and outlook.

      On the investment front, we explore the trends likely to dominate sustainability and climate technology in the coming decade with Hirander Misra, Chairperson and CEO of GMEX Group, and how he is positioning his businesses to lead in high‑integrity, climate‑positive finance at scale.

      Finally, we shift focus to households and businesses under financial strain, as we speak to Dr Phillip van Rensburg, Tax Rescue Specialist at ProGroup Tax Rescue SA, about debt‑solution strategies, tax‑debt management and how tailored interventions can help clients navigate complex SARS issues, avoid liquidations and stay compliant in a rapidly changing legislative environment.

      Economist Professor Waldo Krugell joins us to reflect on one year of President Donald Trump’s renewed term in the White House and what his controversial economic and financial policies have meant for the US, the global economy and South Africa.

      On this week’s Bizskoops, economist Professor Waldo Krugell explains how global shocks and geopolitical flashpoints, from trade tensions to military interventions, can filter through to South Africa’s growth, inflation, currency, and investment climate. This follows Pretoria’s strong condemnation of the recent US military capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. Chris Hattingh from the Center for Risk Analysis (CRA) tells us more about how this could impact foreign policy, the rules-based order, and South Africa’s positioning in a fragmenting world.

      On the investment front, Todd Micklethwaite, Executive Head: Strategic Initiatives and Partnerships at Sanlam Investments, joins us ahead of this year’s Africa's Green Economy Summit to unpack how blended finance models and partnerships with DFIs can unlock capital at scale for Africa’s green transition.
      We then continue our conversation with Hirander Misra, Chairperson and CEO of GMEX Group, on the realities of driving sustainable development in the finance sector in emerging markets and what it takes to align fintech innovation with credible impact.

      Finally, we turn to trade corridors and logistics with Monray van Rooyen, Head of Business Development for Sub-Saharan Africa at DP World. He unpacks how DP World is enhancing end-to-end supply chain solutions for exporters and importers in the context of the African Continental Free Trade Area, tackling challenges such as long distances, complex borders, and freight bottlenecks, while embedding sustainability and renewable energy across African operations.
