Steinhoff Meets Lenders Amid Crisis

World Business Report

Available for over a year

Steinhoff Meets Lenders Amid Crisis South Africa's Steinhoff is meeting with its lenders to determine its future. Magda Wierzycka of Sygnia Investment Management explains the background to an accounting scandal at the firm. And we look at wider issues of corporate governance raised by the case with our regular economic commentator Roger Bootle of Capital Economics. Also in the programme, we look ahead to Thursday's election in the Spanish region of Catalonia. Plus we have a report from Silicon Valley on the so-called 'Zebras' who want to challenge the culture and channel more funds into funds and businesses run by women and ethnic minorities.
