      <video:title><![CDATA[World Economic Forum: Most chief economists predict global growth slowdown  ]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[The World Economic Forum's latest Chief Economists' Outlook paints a grim picture for the global economy as Middle East and the continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz weigh on growth, inflation and market stability. Nearly nine in ten chief economists surveyed expect global growth to weaken over the next 12 months, while concerns around energy prices, supply chains and financial market volatility continue to intensify. And at the same time, while AI adoption is expected to accelerate, optimism around how quickly it will translate into broad productivity gains appears to be cooling.
Joining CNBC Africa to discuss this outlook further is Attilio Di Battista, Head: Economic Growth & Transformation, World Economic Forum.

      <video:title><![CDATA[Rate cut, hike or hold: What would you have done? ]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[As part of our weekly poll this week, we asked our audience what they would do if they were a central bank governor for a day with options being; cut interest rates to ease pressure on households, keep rates steady, or hike to curb inflation. This comes at a particularly difficult time for policymakers globally, as central banks try to balance slowing growth and rising inflation as a result of the Middle East conflict. Here in South Africa, the Reserve Bank opted to hike interest rates for the first time in three years. Joining  CNBC Africa to unpack the complexity of policymaking in this environment is Precious Dube, Macroeconomist, RMB. ]]></video:description>
