Ep 99: How Risk Is Driving Mining’s Strategic Shift - Craig Brewer

from The Monocle Banking Podcast · host Monocle Solutions

Michael Avery sat down with Craig Brewer, Managing Director and Co-Head of Origination at Absa Corporate and Investment Banking, to examine what this means for mining and global capital. They unpacked why mega-mergers are reshaping the industry, why copper is becoming the backbone of AI and electrification, and how governance and policy certainty - especially in Africa - will determine where capital flows next.
