From lockdown to recovery: South Africa’s economic outlook
The economy can be revived, but does the country have what it will take to achieve change?
South Africa’s economy could be significantly transformed for the better by 2030. But what kind of mindset change is needed to achieve positive change? And do the state, private sector, trade unions and others have the capacity to make such shifts possible?
Drawing on recent studies by the African Futures and Innovation programme at the Institute for Security Studies (ISS), this seminar will debate questions that are fundamental to achieving economic growth in South Africa in the aftermath of COVID-19.
Chair: Dr Jakkie Cilliers, Head, African Futures and Innovation, ISS, Pretoria
Speakers:
Miriam Altman, Professor of 4IR Practice, School of Economics, University of Johannesburg
Ann Bernstein, Executive Director, Centre for Development and Enterprise
Jong-Dae Park, Ambassador of the Republic of Korea to South Africa
This seminar is jointly hosted by the Institute for Security Studies and the Embassy of South Korea
