BDC to Inject P1.39bn Across Strategic Sectors
Development finance institutions are easy to misread. From the outside they look like deep pockets handing out cheap money; from the inside they are forced to make a harder choice — between spreading capital thinly across politically attractive causes, and...
Donkey Business in Botswana
One man’s meat is another men’s poison. This phrase came so close to its literal meaning in the donkey business recently established in Africa. While many are grossed out by just the thought of eating donkey meat, some consider it a delicacy. This phenomenon only...

The Energy Pass-Through Map
An oil shock rarely stays at the pump. It passes through freight, food and retail until it reaches the household budget – a map worth tracing before the next move.

A China-Africa Green Industrial Chain fund of about RMB 5 billion, with seven early projects approved, signals a next-phase pitch: not just power, but the supply chains around it – and the value they

Clean-Energy Contracting: RMB 21 Billion in Revenue, and a Question of Whose
China reports RMB 21.18 billion in contracted clean-energy project revenue since the Beijing Summit. The figure is real – the open question is how much of that contracting value lands in African
