Post-Covid logistics in Africa: Taking up challenges, seizing opportunities
14:00 - 15:15 UTC
Webinar
English
In partnership with 
With Maersk’s Logistics branch showing a net profit of $202 million and MSC doubling its container traffic in the Lomé port in the first quarter of 2020, many logistics companies showed how to maintain margins before the pandemic. However, with global trade set to decline in 2020, companies’ investments expected to dry up, and countries budget at stress, uncertainties remain high and challenges, like opportunities, are rising. What form the sector’s consolidation will take in a post-Covid world? What impact will the deterioration of states’ public accounts have on logistics projects and the shape of public-private partnerships?
Key points:
- Global competition, supply chain disruption: How were companies able to survive the crisis?
- Buyouts, digitisation, relocations… what changes are to be expected in the foreseeable future?
- Companies, DFIs, States: how to build mutually beneficial partnerships?
This webinar is part of a serie of sectorial webinars, “African champions: dealing with the Covid-19 crisis”, devoted to business leaders operating in Africa, brought to you by the AFRICA CEO FORUM and sponsors.
