On 18 September 2025, 100 Women in Finance members and guests came together in Cape Town to explore the latest insights on South Africa’s macroeconomic outlook.
The panel featured Leshni Dial-Harikaran of Old Mutual Investment Group, Evan Wohlmann of Moody’s Ratings, and Madalet Sessions of Denker Capital and was moderated by Gcobisa Ntshobane from Old Mutual Investment Group.
The discussion addressed key factors shaping South Africa’s economic direction, including a post-GNU reflection on whether the Government of National Unity is credit positive, the impact of US tariffs, and the implications of the lower inflation target.
Panelists shared diverse perspectives: from listed credit market dynamics to sovereign credit considerations, to overall South African investment landscape, offering attendees a well-rounded view of the opportunities and risks facing investors.
We would like to extend our thanks to our generous co-sponsors, Old Mutual Investment Group and Moody’s Ratings, the speakers, for sharing their expertise, and all attendees for their participation.
