Climate Risk, Compliance Pressure and South Africa’s Financial Crossroads
Welcome to The Unusual Finance Chat with me, Tinus de Jager. In today’s episode we look at two themes shaping South Africa’s financial system: the rising pressure on banks and insurers to disclose climate risks, and the growing role of technology in FICA compliance and greylisting reforms. I speak to Kent Davis of Webber Wentzel and Andrew MacPherson of Paragon to unpack what these shifts mean for the sector and the wider economy.
