As global economic conditions evolve, investors are reassessing where and how capital is deployed across emerging markets. This panel will explore how interest rates, liquidity cycles, geopolitical developments, and risk perceptions are shaping capital flows into MENA and Africa. Speakers will discuss the opportunities and challenges facing the region, the sectors attracting investment, and what global shifts could mean for the future of growth, financing, and cross-border capital allocation.
