Trusted insight into key African markets
Ivory Royal Bank’s AMR colaboration is a research report providing detailed, comprehensive, medium term (up to 2 years ahead) forecasts for key economies. The report evaluates the cyclical and structural evolution of each economy, developments that are likely to have an impact on the balance of payments, the conduct of monetary and fiscal policy. In addition to deriving reasonable forecasts for the evolution of the economic growth, exchange rates and interest rates, the report forms the fundamental basis for identifying actionable foreign exchange hedging strategies and trade ideas for investors looking to partake in the continent’s fixed income and currency markets as well as the Eurobond market.
For clients and investors needing insights into Africa, the AMR is a trusted source of information and analysis to inform African investment strategies.
The AMR includes:
