Expert to unpack China, India impact on mining in Africa

The impact of slowed demand from China and growing demand in India for African commodities will be highlighted during a presentation at the 2016 Investing in African Mining Indaba by the Robert H Smith School of Business Michael Dingman chair in strategy and globalisation Dr Anil Gupta. China and India play a major role in driving the global demand for commodities, and Gupta tells Mining Weekly that China’s demand has slowed down “extremely rapidly” and that, while India has picked up growth momentum, this growth is not yet able to compensate fully for the price drop, as a result of the slowdown in China.
