Good Morning Africa ·

2026/10/12

The International Energy Agency is urging governments to accelerate emergency oil stock releases and prioritise diesel supplies as disruptions to global oil trade tighten refined petroleum markets.

Financing Africa's Aviation Future III

Good Morning Africa ·

2026/10/06

Africa needs more aviation connectivity, but is access to capital really the biggest constraint? With airlines earning much of their revenue in local currencies while paying for aircraft, fuel, maintenance, and other costs in dollars or euros, how should financing structures respond to that currency mismatch? What role should African banks, pension funds, and development finance institutions play in financing aviation without simply providing rescue capital? There is also a regulatory questio...

Financing Africa's Aviation Future II

Good Morning Africa ·

2026/10/05

National airlines are often expected to do more than make money from supporting tourism and trade to maintaining strategically important routes. But who pays when those routes are not commercially viable? Should governments formally separate commercial routes from public-service obligations, rather than allowing national mandates to weaken an airline’s balance sheet and creditworthiness?

Financing Africa's Aviation Future

Good Morning Africa ·

2026/10/04

Africa’s aviation sector is often framed as a financing problem. But is the bigger issue actually whether airlines are ready for the capital they are seeking? What are financiers looking for beyond the need for more aircraft and how do governance, credible financial reporting, foreign exchange risk and regulatory certainty affect the cost of capital? In the first part of this financing series, Derek Nseko, Airspace Africa, lays the groundwork as he asks the hard questions.

UEFA Is On Course To Generate More Than $5.9 billion

Good Morning Africa ·

2026/05/06

When building businesses across Africa, there’s a clear split between traditional and digital sectors. Traditional businesses—like agriculture, construction, and mining—serve everyday needs. They’re resilient, even in tough economies, but often operate informally with limited systems and documentation. Digital ventures are more structured and data-driven—but scaling them brings its own challenges. For investors, one key lesson stands out: it’s not just about money. Access to networks, mentors...

2026/05/05

MTN Nigeria has warned that rising fuel prices could affect its profitability this year, even as the country’s largest telco operator delivers record revenue growth and rebounds from last year’s currency shocks. In its Q1 2026 results released on Wednesday, the company said it expects a 1.8 to 2.0% decline in full-year Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortisation (EBITDA) margins if diesel prices average ₦2,000 ($1.45) per litre in the second half of the year.

Uganda Airlines' Inflection Point

Good Morning Africa ·

2026/05/04

Uganda Airlines may be at a real turning point. With the recent recapitalisation, the government has essentially given the airline the breathing room it needs—and for new CEO, Gima Wake, that space is critical. He’s taken on a very difficult job, inheriting years of mismanagement and operational instability. But early signs suggest a shift. The focus so far has been on restoring reliability—fewer disruptions, more predictability—and that’s already improving passenger confidence. The bigger ch...

South Africa withdrew a draft artificial intelligence policy after discovering that several of its academic citations were apparently AI hallucinations, raising questions about the state’s ability to regulate the fast-growing technology.

Uganda has more power—but why is access still a problem?

Uganda is generating more electricity than ever before—but if that’s the case, why do so many households and businesses still lack reliable, affordable, and safe energy? Is the real challenge no longer supply, but access—and affordability? That’s what ABSA Bank Uganda and the Uganda Energy Credit Capitalization Company are now trying to address through a new green energy line of credit. With up to 11 billion shillings in concessional financing, the facility will support clean energy companies...

Financial markets remain resilient despite tensions driven by the Middle East conflict, according to the latest Global Financial Stability Report. While the conflict has caused periods of volatility, markets have avoided major disruptions such as sharp losses, margin calls, or forced sell-offs. This stability is supported by central bank liquidity measures, improved market structures, and well-capitalized banks. However, risks remain. Rising public and private debt, along with the growing rol...

"Uganda's oil story is no longer just a promise — it's steel in the ground, wells being drilled, and processing facilities taking shape. But behind the headline numbers is a quieter revolution — local companies that started with nothing and can now lift 200 tons, move equipment across borders, and compete regionally. Our guest today is one of those witnesses — someone who has been inside this industry, moving the rigs, navigating the geopolitics, absorbing the shocks — and still believes the ...
