Finance and Emerging Economics: A Geopolitical Perspective of Africa

Lecture / Panel
 
For NYU Community

With Bouchra Benhida, University Hassan I.

The African and emerging economy countries and the Geopolitical environment have changed. Actually, due to the first global financial crisis of the 21stcentury, the global financial system has also adapted. The center of economic and financial power has shifted from the West to the South and East, which is reflected in the replacement of the G7 by the G20 as the major actor in international coordination. Currently, the relationship between the West and the rest of the world is now diametrically reversed in its demographic and economic aspects. The current geopolitical environment with wars and financial competitiveness between countries will affect the future of finance as well.
