🧠 great pointers from this Africa this, Africa that.. the potential is clear, but we must make it meaningful < 25% intra-African trade < 3% global trade from Africa 87% poverty by 2030, if no economic progress >5% GDP growth over many years to pull us up So much to do!

Please find the link to a new paper I have authored, published by the @WorldBank Africa Growth and Opportunity Research in Action (AGORA) Series, entitled „African Trade and Investment for Global Resilience“. It is based on my 2025 Mattei Lecture in Italy and argues that Africa can anchor a new model of growth and simultaneously bolster global resilience by moving to more value added production and deeper integration into regional and global trade and investment networks. @IndermitGill documents.worldbank.org/en/p…

Funding takes time, trust, and building relationships that last until exit-do-us-apart & beyond. At @deaLort0 we emphasize transparency, frequent communication, & integrity. Warren Buffett says “You can’t do a good business with a bad person” We take this principle seriously💪🏽

Today, we celebrate the start of a new year – and the anniversary of Start of Trade under AfCFTA terms. I am pleased to present Nigeria’s AfCFTA Achievements Report 2025. Over the last year, the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment reinvigorated AfCFTA implementation in Nigeria. Nigerian businesses can now effectively access the African market on the preferential terms of the AfCFTA. Read our report to learn more about Nigeria’s successes + lessons on intra-African trade, and our roadmap for 2026. fmiti.gov.ng/wp-content/uplo…

It’s advised to use CBN’s more conservative assumptions in making investment decisions in 2026. Investments 📈 & stable FX were positives this year. But rising debt, unclear CGT & political actions will influence 2026 Investors after comparing CBN to FGN forecasts:

After reading this report, it’s obvious the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Federal Government (FGN) are using different Excel assumptions. When President Tinubu presented the ₦58 trillion ($39.7bn) 2026 bill, there was concern about… 👇🏽 ~1

Investments were up this year & is projected to continue in 2026. However, risks remains! Security | pre-election activities | Oil prices | supply chain issues Will these challenges hamper the FX stability & inflation?? (CBN predicts ₦1400/ $1 and < 13% for both in 2026) 👀

VC website: We’re a pre-seed/seed investor VC in talks: We invest in startups with $25k MRR & 30% margins The game is gone!! Early-stage VCs investors in Africa are largely non-existent, they now require advanced metrics. 👇🏽

Catalytic capital for Startups will likely come from Angels (Harder to find), Grants (government needs to do more) or Development Funds. Preferably, bootstrapping which remains the hardest but most rewarding! How’s your fundraising going?
