In this in-depth podcast, Nedbank CEO Mike Brown tries (unsuccessfully) to hide irritation at the slow pace of SA's economic reform, but brightens up on the demand that's building for renewable energy investments. The country's longest-serving banking boss occupies a unique vantage point from which to share his insights on a variety of subjects - ranging from Nedbank's recent interim results including the 5% staff reduction and R10bn investment into digitisation; through to the danger of SA's potential greylisting and urgent need to regulate crypto currencies.
