According to Johannesburg's day-to-day finance, Eskom executives and the Treasury will start coming to local banks from now on to leverage the company's lending as race companies to avoid suspension of its bonds in Johannesburg Stock Exchange to prevent a default letter from the World Bank.
The state property state should raise the rand equivalent to nearly one and a half billion euros over the next few weeks to insist on his auditor that this is a concern. This will allow to publish temporary financial statements and allow continued access to overseas debt securities markets
If the World Bank released a default letter during a scheduled meeting with Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, this week, it will change its 14-day return on his 300 million euro loan, which could begin to outweigh the other creditors of the Eskom, which is currently considered to be debtor of 24 billion euros.
No place for Africa in the global financial scramble
Africa is still struggling to find a place in the harsh world of financial markets, says regional paper the East African.
According to the report, a survey of stockmarkets in 17 African countries showed that only Kenya ranks among the top five markets on the continent.
In the latest African Financial Markets Index published by Barclays, Kenya lags behind South Africa, Mauritius, Botswana and Namibia.
African skies to be united at Addis summit
The East African also reports that the upcoming African Union Heads of State Summit in Addis Ababa is expected to see the adoption of a Single African Air Transport Market.
The move is intended to free African skies and accelerate sectors like tourism and trade.
So far 23 African countries have signed the AU’s declaration promising to unconditionally open their air transport markets to African airlines a step which the East African says shows countries are finally moving towards realising the Yamoussoukro Decision, which was intended to create a single air transport market across Africa by 2002.
The regional paper says that liberalising east Africa’s airspace alone would contribute 200 million euros annually to the region’s GDP and create an additional 46,000 jobs, while passenger traffic would also increase by an average 46 per cent annually. Ticket costs would also be likely to fall.
According to the International Air Transport Association, deregulating and liberating African air space in 12 key markets would create about 155,000 jobs and generate 1.5 billion euros in revenue.
Nigeria on brink of another fuel shortage
Nigeria is back in the grip of a fuel shortage, according to the main story in today’s edition of Punch.
The report says there were long queues of desperate motorists at many filling stations in Lagos and Ogun states on Saturday and Sunday after a brief relief from the severe scarcity that slowed the country from December to early this month.
Many filling stations in the two states were shut on Sunday, while some that remained open were charging more than the official pump price of N145 per litre.
Black market operators were having a field day as they sold the product for as much as N250 per litre yesterday.
