World Business Report

Available for over a year

South Africa's economy is under the spotlight, ahead of the elections there this week. The vote could see the ruling party ANC win less than 50% for the first time in its history. Elsewhere, Rahul Tandon looks at the AI battle heating up, with Elon Musk's new company raising $6 billion. And he goes inside the disruption facing business in Iceland, amid rising volcanic activity. (Photo: Supporters of the African National Congress (ANC) cheer during a rally in 2014. Credit: Reuters)
