GUEST: Thanda Sithole – Senior Economist, FNB and WesBank; Member of the B20 Trade and Investment Taskforce
As Africa takes on the G20 Presidency, a pivotal opportunity emerges to redefine the continent’s place in global trade and investment. The B20 Trade and Investment Taskforce, representing business leaders from 43 countries, has set out three bold priorities for the world’s major economies: restore stability in global trade, create a new trade and investment deal for Africa, and build a climate-responsive trade system.
In this conversation, FNB Senior Economist and B20 Taskforce Member, Thanda Sithole, joins Gugulethu Mfuphi to unpack what these recommendations mean for Africa’s growth, competitiveness, and economic inclusion. From structural reforms to private sector collaboration, Sithole explores how financial institutions like FNB can help ensure that Africa not only participates but helps shape the future of global trade.
