SUMMARY:ACTSA Breakfast: Mastering Change in the Treasury Environment
DESCRIPTION:The Association of Corporate Treasurers of Southern Africa (ACTSA)\, in association with Rand Merchant Bank and Bloomberg\, invites you to join us for an insightful breakfast discussion on navigating an increasingly dynamic treasury environment. \nOne of the greatest challenges facing  the treasury environment at present is the rapid rate of change.  The treasurer’s role is changing amidst this constant uncertainty.

SUMMARY:After the War - What Lies Ahead for South Africa
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Jeremy Gardiner\n2026 has been an unnecessarily turbulent year. It started so well\, inflation was low\, and rate cuts and growth were on the way. And then came the war. \nOil rocketed\, putting pressure on inflation\, interest rates and growth. This should have been a short war\, but it’s getting longer. The global economy’s performance for the rest of the year depends on it. Where is South Africa in all of this? \nJoin ACTSA in association with Investec for an insightful breakfast presentation with Jeremy Gardiner\, who will unpack the rapidly changing global economic environment\, what it means for markets and growth\, and where South Africa fits into this increasingly uncertain picture.
