## Resource

On this week’s Bizskoops: We further unpack the impact of the Middle East war on South Africa’s economy. Chris Hattingh from the Centre for Risk Analysis explains why the recently reported JSE’s losses and the spike in bond yields must be read within the context of the Middle East conflict . Professor Waldo Krugell talks about his research on price shocks. Meanwhile, entertainment giant Universal Music Group has received a huge takeover offer, and Vodacom has invested 28 million dollars to upgrade its M-Pesa platform in Tanzania. Sally Palmer from Maverix walks us through their flagship programme and what that journey looks like for a founder or executive from week one to the end.
