Trade wars and tariff turmoil: The impact of U.S. policies on global markets

Global markets are being affected by retaliatory tariffs, which raise serious concerns about the future of global collaboration, economic growth, and international trade. This bold yet controversial move has sparked heightened tensions between the United States and China, igniting what many now refer to as a full-scale trade war. But what does this escalating trade war mean for Africa

Will African markets be forced to pick sides in this growing economic conflict, or could this moment offer a chance for regional integration and self-reliance?

Join us for an engaging discussion with GIBS Professor of Economics Finance and Director of the Centre for African Management and Markets, Prof Adrian Saville, and at GIBS with leading experts as they explore the impact of the tariff wars on global markets.
