In Conversation with Anja Berretta and Gunter Rieck Moncayo

Africa’s economy is changing. Trade with Europe and the US is no longer the main focus — today, countries like China play a leading role. The old idea that Africa is still dependent on the West doesn’t tell the full story.

With new trade deals and the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), many nations are taking their future into their own hands.
This episode examines these developments and their global impact together with Anja Beretta and Gunter Rieck Moncayo from the Konrad Adenauer Foundation.
