About this event

Africa Business Outlook

2023 promises to be a major one for Africa. Debt challenges, rising food insecurity and supply chain disruptions will continue make doing business on the continent unique. However, growth in Africa’s population and rising wealth promise to make the continent one of tremendous opportunity in the medium term. Join us for the release of our Africa Business Outlook 2023 survey, as we unpack the findings of the survey conducted by C-suites across Africa. In this informative breakfast session, we will unpack the results of the survey, including:

  1. Expected changes in operational costs in 2023
  2. Approaches to hybrid working across offices
  3. Expected changes to profit and revenue across countries
  4. Attitudes towards capital investments in the region
