Businesses in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) are no strangers to operating in a crisis environment. From persistent political instability to climate shocks and armed conflicts, organisations in the region often need to perform country risk assessments with much greater frequency than in other parts of the world – sometimes quarterly or even monthly, said Richard Walker, Head of Risk Advisory Services at BDO South Africa.
It’s not surprising at all with the way the world is right now. There is a lot of focus on Donald Trump and what he’s doing, but it is especially impacting us in South Africa; we seem to be taking the brunt of his relationship with Elon Musk.
