Dr. Bawumia Discusses Trade Stability at IDU Forum

Former Vice President of Ghana, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, spoke about economic stability at the International Democratic Union (IDU) forum in Brussels. He shared solutions for restoring stability amid global trade uncertainties.

During the event, he participated in a panel discussion titled "Trade Wars, Tariff Battles and the New Geoeconomic Order: How to Restore Stability." The moderator asked him how trade uncertainties affect economies, especially in Africa.
