NOW Ep100: A world in flux, 100 Wednesdays on

From a global pandemic to fractured supply chains, energy shocks, inflation spirals, rate hikes, AI disruption, war, and geopolitical realignment - the last four years have been anything but dull. As we celebrate the 100th episode of the No Ordinary Wednesday podcast, we pause the relentless churn of the news cycle to reflect on the macro themes that have defined our world since this show first aired in May 2021. In this episode, we’ve gathered a veritable global panel of Investec leaders from Johannesburg, London, Mumbai, and Dubai to share their insights on what has shaped their regions and the critical forces they will be monitoring in the coming years.
