Business Day Spotlight

In this edition of the Business Day Spotlight, we talk about how much money SA is making by selling goods to the rest of the world versus money spent bringing in items from other countries. Our host Mudiwa Gavaza is joined by Bobby Madhav, FNB’s head of trade and structured trade and commodity finance, to discuss the issues. The discussion focuses on what international trade is, current trade statistics, the role of a bank when businesses import and export goods, sectors that engage in significant international trade and an outlook of how the economic recovery will affect the trade balance.
