Heads of competition authorities from BRICS countries are currently converging in Cape Town under the framework of the BRICS Leaders Meeting. Several important topics have been discussed so far, including the one that focused on global commodity traders and the impact on competition and local economies which James Hodge took part in. Some of you may be aware that there is increasing focus on the role of these traders and the impact of their practices, particularly during periods of market volatility.

GUEST: James Hodge, Chief Economist & Acting Deputy Commissioner @Competition Commision South Africa
