In this insightful podcast, we delve into the complex debt crisis affecting Africa, characterised by both short-term liquidity issues and deeper structural solvency challenges. We discuss the evolving composition of Africa's debt, including the rise of non-traditional lenders and the misalignment between debt instruments and long-term development projects. With African countries often prioritising debt servicing over essential public services, the podcast highlights the urgent need for a cohesive international framework to address these issues. We also touch upon the impact of geopolitical tensions on debt negotiations.
Join us as we unpack these critical challenges and explore potential solutions for a more sustainable financial future in Africa.
