With the gold price already hovering at about 12% higher compared to last year, it seems that the appetite for this precious metal is unlikely to wane soon. This bodes well for gold producing countries in Africa like, amongst others, South Africa, Tanzania, Ghana, Mali, Burkina Faso and Senegal.   According to Nigel Green, CEO of the deVere Group, an independent financial advisory and asset management organisation, there has been a 35% year-to-date jump in clients globally seeking to increase their exposure to gold. “A growing number of investors around the world are considering increasing their holdings of gold within their diversified investment portfolio,” says Green.  “Their decision-making process to invest in gold is not merely based on its historical significance, but on several current and compelling factors that could collectively signal a steady rise in its price over the long term. The growing demand from both advanced and emerging economies, China’s strategic diversification, the shift in commodities pricing, the geopolitical uncertainties, and rate cut expectations, are all cited by more and more investors as reasons to increase gold in their portfolios. “We expect a sustained upward trend in gold prices in the current environment,” says Green.

Energy transition can present opportunities for countries rich in ETM (lithium, copper, cobalt etc)- a careful consideration of measures, including to mitigate ESG risks and attract private investment is needed. Here's a new publication by the World Bank - https://lnkd.in/eBgGBZp2

I am proud to share with you our latest publication submitted to the G7 Finance ministers and Central Bank Governors ahead of their meeting held in May in Italy. The note discusses how developing countries with large reserves of energy transition minerals (copper, cobalt, lithium, manganese, etc.), especially in Africa, can increase value addition, attract more private investment and create more and better jobs. The green transition provides a great opportunity for many ETM rich countries! https://lnkd.in/eBgGBZp2 Key ingredients include: - sustainable and responsible (ESG) increase in the supply of mining - improved connectivity including to foster regional integration and reach scale - improved access to (clean) energy - skill development (more engineers are needed midstream and downstream) - access to (cheaper) finance to local SMEs and derisking instruments - a conducive investment climate to attract and retain investment - avoid costly, sticky and inefficient policies such as heavy tax incentives, protectionism…especially when relying only on these incentives, when countries have tight fiscal space and the above factors are not addressed. A cost benefit analysis of policies and monitoring and evaluation are key. I led a multidisciplinary exceptional team who worked under a very tight deadline. Kudos to the core private sector and trade team: Tania Begazo-Gomez Lucio Castro Priyanka Kher Maryla Maliszewska Enrique Aldaz-Carroll, to the Exteactives global team Sven Renner and Silvana Tordo, and the multidisciplinary regional team led by Bekele Debele Martin Lokanc @philip schuler , as well as colleagues from IFC, Asogan Moodaly, and MIGA.
