Africa Forum 2022: Africa On the Move
Date: 28 June 2022, 11:00-17:00 (CEST-1)
Returning, in person, to the City of London on 28 June 2022, our 9th Hogan Lovells Africa Forum, Africa: On the Move, considers what it is going to take to get the wheels of change turning to push the continent towards a sustainable, accelerated growth.
‘Post-pandemic recovery’. This remains one of the most popular phrases when considering Africa’s economic outlook in 2022, and indeed how commentators continue to frame regional analysis globally. Estimations from the IMF point to modest growth from 3.7% this year to 3.8% in 2023, linked to increased inflation rates and an anticipated slowdown in the global economy, overlayed by the impact of geopolitical events outside of Africa. The effects of the pandemic can certainly not be ignored, with the continent having experienced an ‘almost fully synchronised economic downturn in 2020'. Africa’s emergence from recession in 2021 has not only improved sentiments about recovery, it has revitalised and renewed the region’s pre-pandemic optimism; Africa is on the move.

The CFA franc zone: Economic development and the post-COVID recovery
Date: 14 June 2022, 09:30-11:00 (EDT)
Online
The CFA franc zone, which encompasses 14 countries in francophone West and Central Africa bonded by French colonial heritage and common currency, is falling behind most developing countries in terms of per capita growth, private sector competitiveness, governance, human development, and poverty reduction. Such challenges have been exacerbated by recent increased external shocks such as COVID-19, climate change, and internal demographic pressures. Geopolitical conflicts, especially in the Sahel and Central Africa, have also accelerated in recent years.
