Finance in Africa - Navigating the financial landscape in turbulent times

European Investment Bank

Summary

Banks in Africa are weathering the COVID-19 pandemic well and showing a lot of creativity to overcome the crisis's problems. But the war in Ukraine is causing new concerns. With interest rates rising in many countries and bond funding becoming more expensive, a significant number of banks are worried about rising financing costs.
These issues and more are covered in the new Finance in Africa report, based on an annual survey of banks across the continent and supported by Making Finance Work for Africa, an initiative helping more people get loans across the continent. We surveyed 70 banks in sub-Saharan Africa from April to June in 2022 to find out if the war is hurting their business and to learn their views on climate lending, access to finance for women and the accelerating digitisation of the financial sector.

It only took Bitcoin five years to breach the $1,000 mark in late 2013, and just a few years later, Bitcoin prices are at an all-time high – way past the $10,000 mark for a single bitcoin! Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency that can be used as a medium for exchange online. Some people prefer cryptocurrencies because of its independence and pseudo-anonymity.

The Wealth of Nations Book 1

Adam Smith

"The Wealth of Nations" by Adam Smith is a groundbreaking economic treatise that explores the principles of capitalism, free markets, and wealth creation. Smith argues that self-interest, guided by an "invisible hand," drives innovation and prosperity, benefiting society as a whole. He critiques mercantilism, advocating for division of labor, competition, and minimal government intervention in trade. Through detailed analysis, Smith examines productivity, wages, profits, and taxation, laying the foundation for modern economics. His insights into human behavior and market dynamics remain influential, shaping theories on commerce, ethics, and societal progress.
