MINDSPACE soundbite – We are more resilient that we realise

Loading player...
The world is full of conflict and uncertainty, and executives are under a lot of pressure. How will the uneven global economy affect demand and margins? Will funding conditions tighten? How will energy reforms translate into growth, and where are the biggest long-term opportunities?
 
The cause for hope is that our economy is more resilient than we realise. Izak Odendaal, Old Mutual’s Investment Strategist, gives some reassurance in this regard, plus three ways to attract businesses to invest in South Africa.
 
This MINDSPACE soundbite is inspired by the March edition of our MINDSPACE newsletter. Listen for more details on the reforms that could accelerate our growth.
