🇷🇺 - Ripple effects of Russia coup attempt could be massive in Africa 🇨🇫🇸🇩🇱🇾🇲🇱🇲🇿 - Wagner has big econ/political presence in Africa, esp. in CAR, Sudan, Libya, Mali, Mozambique • Wagner helps Russia access gold mines, wage disinformation campaigns and build official ties
🌍👶 - Fertility rates are dropping, and this will lead to reshuffling of global economic powers • In 2010 98 states had fertility rates <2.1 (replacement rate); in 2021 number had grown to 124 • Africa is exception, with huge population growth (and thus economic potential)
Africa faces a mounting debt crisis, with crunch time likely next year • Rising interest rates are having a huge impact on debt servicing in African countries 🇿🇲🇬🇭 - In Zambia and Ghana, external debt servicing absorbs 30-40% of government revenues
🇨🇳🇪🇺 - European companies are far more reliant on China than American firms are 🇩🇪 Exposure of German firms to China amounts to ~10% of Germany's GDP (highest share in Europe) 🇺🇸 Exposure of US firms to China is more than half lower: America has much less to lose from decoupling
🇺🇦 - Ukraine’s soaring exports to EU are testing neighbour's solidarity • Eastern European countries are imposing bans on Ukrainian grains following influx of shipments • Russia's blockade of Ukraine's ports has led to pile up of grains in eastern Europe, pushing down prices
🇧🇫🇲🇱 - Jihadists are spreading chaos and misery in the Sahel region • Burkina Faso is among most affected countries, with at least 3,000 civiliant deaths so far this year • Burkina Faso's government controls only about 40% of the country's territory
🇪🇺🇨🇳 - What next for EU-China economic ties? • Trade remains robust, with imports from China increasing sharply in recent years • Flows of Chinese investment to EU are decreasing sharply, however, reflecting political tensions
Which economies will grow the fastest by 2050? 🇰🇪 Kenya 🇮🇳 India 🇻🇳 Vietnam 🇧🇩 Bangladesh 🇵🇭 Philippines 🇮🇩 Indonesia 🇦🇴 Angola 🇿🇦 South Africa 🇳🇬 Nigeria 🇮🇱 Israel 🇪🇬 Egypt 🇨🇺 Cuba 🇯🇴 Jordan 🇧🇭 Bahrain 🇨🇷 Costa Rica 🇦🇪 UAE 🇲🇦 Morocco 🇵🇰 Pakistan 🇵🇪 Peru 🇲🇾 Malaysia
🇷🇺 - Many developing countries rely on Russian wheat, metals, fertilisers and sunflower oil • Given sanctions, Moscow will reorient trade towards Global South, deepening its dependence on Russia • Moscow will not hesitate to weaponise interdependence to advance its interests
The world’s peak population may be smaller than previously expected • New evidence suggests that Africa’s birth rates are falling fast • Lower birth rate could boost continent’s economic development in coming decades
🇪🇺 - Headline inflation is dropping in euro zone, but core inflation (excl. food/energy) keeps rising • We @TheEIU expect euro zone inflation of 5.9% in 2023 before abating to 2.5% in 2024 • Rising core inflation will convince ECB to keep hiking to avoid wage-price spiral
🇺🇸🇨🇳 - How US-China decoupling looks in practice • In tech field, China's semiconductor imports are dropping as country indigenises technology • In financial field, investments involving US private-equity/VC companies in China are at record-lows
Retirement has become much longer across the rich world 🇫🇷 In France, people can expect to live ~25 years after they retire - the longest among OECD countries • Highlights fact that population ageing will be huge challenge for developed economies going forward
🇯🇵🇮🇳 - Fear of China is pushing India and Japan closer together, but their trade ties remain weak • In 2022 China accounted for 24% of Japan’s imports and 22% of its exports • By contrast, in same year India represented just 0.8% of Japan’s imports and 1.7% of its exports
🇷🇺 - Sanctions on Russia are working [updated with Dec. '22-Jan. '23 data] • Oil & gas extraction recorded big annual drop in January; shows impact of sanctions on oil exports • Russian GDP will not recover to pre-war ('21) level until 2027; highlights depth of economic crisis
High food prices continue to have negative effect on African countries • In October IMF approved "food shock window", to provide emergency loans to help with food shortages • Highlights growing African presence of IMF - at time when Chinese BRI-led investments are dropping
🇨🇳🗺️ - World depends on China for rare earths and critical minerals (like lithium or copper) • China has most of the world's reserves and processing capacity for these elements • Rare earths/critical minerals necessary to build EVs and semiconductors, giving China huge leverage
🇨🇴 - Colombia's economy is not in great shape • Central bank was slower than others to hike, resulting in high inflation and overheated economy • Budget and current-account deficits are huge and country is exposed to shifts in market sentiment
🇨🇳 - China's economic recovery is ultra fast • Lifting of zero-covid policy will help to cushion war-induced shock to global growth this year • China's Omicron wave peaked earlier than planned; economic recovery will therefore start earlier
