Are you ready for the latest skoop on this week's Bizskoops?

On this week's Bizskoops, we explored key economic trends shaping Africa and South Africa’s unique position.

We began with insights from Chris Hattingh of the Centre for Risk Analysis, who shared his views on why South Africa’s growth outlook remains subdued compared to its African peers, despite its strong potential. Economist Waldo Krugell then unpacked inflation and interest rate prospects impacting the economy.

2025 was notable for precious metals, marked by growth and volatility. Kirill Kirilenko, Precious Metals Analyst at CRU Group, forecasted the major trends and disruptions expected in the next 12 to 24 months. We also featured Bongani Malaba, co-founder of Jenzy, who spoke about fintech innovation at the 2025 International Commodity Summit, focusing on how Jenzy is fostering trust and economic growth in Africa’s cross-border trade.
