Whilst the region Economic outlook led by Rwanda, Tanzania, Ethiopia growth story is positive there's more uncertainty beneath the surface than we've seen in a while.

In partnership with FTI Consulting, we have designed this session around what's actually happening on the ground and what it means for your operations discussing the issues that could genuinely affect your business this year.

Governments across the region are strapped for cash, which means more aggressive tax collection, slower VAT refunds, and tighter dollar liquidity.

The situation in the Horn with Israel recognition of Somaliland has raised real questions about northern trade routes and security costs and how this will impact the regional economies.

The DRC-Rwanda accords look good on paper, but if you're sourcing from the Great Lakes, your compliance teams need to be paying close attention.

Uganda's heading into elections in 2026, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Kenya's underlying tensions haven't disappeared all need to be in your contingency planning.

On the upside, the digital economy is moving faster than expected. T

here are genuine opportunities in fintech, logistics, and infrastructure, though the regulatory environment is still taking shape.

We've kept it focused and practical just the intelligence you need to make informed decisions in what feels like a tighter operating environment.

I will follow up next week with the final program and speakers' line up, please register by 15th January to secure your spot.
