Investor sentiment towards emerging markets has shown a meaningful improvement since mid-2016.  The larger investor appetite for risk combined with stronger international commodity prices is supporting the currencies and growth prospects of many emerging market economies.  However, not all countries in the Sub-Saharan African region tracked the upbeat growth profile witnessed in the rest of the world.

IHS Markit's Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) shows a significantly improved outlook in Nigeria and Zambia, while conditions in Kenya and South Africa remain subdued.  Key risk factors from capital controls to disputed leadership battles also persist across the region, raising questions around whether early indicators of rebound are credible.

Join our award-winning experts on 18 October 2017 to explore these issues.

We are looking forward to seeing you there.
