In BusinessDay SA:

CHINA’s renminbi could replace the Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription dollar as the main currency to finance trade between Chinese and Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription African countries, research by Standard Bank shows.

In a sign of China’s growing influence as Africa’s largest trading partner and Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription investor, Standard Bank estimated that up to 40%, or $100bn, of China’s trade would be denominated in renminbi by 2015.

This amounted to Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription more than the total Sino-African trade last year, the bank’s Beijing-based economist Jeremy Stevens said in a Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription research paper released yesterday .

“In addition, at least $10bn of Chinese investment in Africa will be Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription denominated in renminbi over the same period,” he said.

The Chinese currency already accounts for 13% of the South African Reserve Bank’s trade- weighted exchange rate for Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription the rand, making it the third most important currency in the Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription basket. Mr Stevens said China had no intention of “dumping” the dollar, but merely wanted to broaden its currency’s geographical reach and Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription allow the renminbi to be used for investment purposes.

“The change, which will be Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription gradual, is symptomatic of a more multi polar world,” he said.

The bulk of China’s estimated $3,2-trillion in official reserves was still dollar-denominated, including $1,1-trillion in US Treasury bonds .

However, the Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription use of the renminbi showed that many companies, including some in SA, were becoming comfortable transacting in the Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription currency, Peter Sun, Standard Chartered Bank’s MD of transactional banking, said last week.

Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, said at her maiden media briefing yesterday in Abuja that Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription though government was not discarding its blueprint for economic development captured under the Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription Vision 20-2020 and the Transforming Nigeria document, government has identified some key sectors that Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription must be addressed to create the enabling environment for growth.

These include infrastructure development, with primary focus on completing important uncompleted projects (power, roads) and Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription avoiding new ones that would be difficult to complete; security; agricultural development to Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription ensure food security and job creation; manufacturing; housing and construction; entertainment industry support; education and Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription health as well as promotion of investment in the oil and Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription gas sector.

And debt to GDP:

She gave the country’s total debt stock at about $39.7 billion (about 20 percent of GDP), out of which about $34 billion, or Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription about 17.5 percent of GDP, is accounted for by domestic debts, which translates to Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription about N5.2 trillion and about $5.3 billion in external debts, or three percent of GDP.

The boy was 13 when a dawn immigration raid abruptly ended his father’s four-year quest for Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription political asylum in Britain. By nightfall of that day in 2005, father and Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription son were hundreds of miles from home, locked in the privately run Yarl’s Wood Immigration Removal Center here, scheduled for Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription deportation to their native Angola in the morning.

Instead, shortly after midnight, the Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription despondent father, Manuel Bravo, 35, walked to a stairwell with a Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription bed sheet and hanged himself. The note he left said why: so that Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription his orphaned boy could stay in Britain.

Indeed, the Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription law did not allow immigration authorities to deport an orphan who Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription had no one waiting for him. A British family the Bravos knew through church took the Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription boy, Antonio, home to Armley, the working-class suburb of Leeds where Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription they had settled in 2001.

The full grimness.

The Executive Summary:

African countries south of the Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription Sahara are poised to enjoy a surge in growth in their banking systems during this Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription decade. The three main drivers of this development will be generally very high rates of economic growth, financial deepening to Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription fulfil huge unmet needs for basic financial services and new technologies to Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription provide them—particularly over mobile phones.

In this Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription report we trace out two scenarios for the growth of the Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription sector. In the conservative scenario, driven exclusively by economic expansion, we project that Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription the industry in 16 key African economies will boost its financial assets by 178% to US$980bn by 2020. In the Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription more likely scenario, driven by both economic growth and financial deepening, we foresee assets expanding by 248% to US$1.37trn at the end of the decade (see chart).
The boom will vary markedly across the Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription continent, however. Banking is likely to enjoy its most rapid expansion in Angola, increasing assets at least fivefold by 2020, as that Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription country experiences a surge in petroleum production and builds up an Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription industry long hampered by civil war and economic malaise. Banks in a Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription number of other economies—including Ghana, Tanzania and Uganda—will expand assets at least threefold over the same period.
Slower-growing markets will include South Africa, which is Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription the financial powerhouse of the continent but will expand its own banking sector only modestly by 2020. Botswana and Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription Namibia, two other economies with well-developed banking systems, are also slated to Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription expand banking assets at rates below the regional average.

In most regards the Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription region is trailing the rest of the world in developing the Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription banking systems that are vital for stronger economic development and growth. However, in some key aspects Sub-Saharan Africa is Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription leading other regions in ways that will allow it to rapidly catch up, or Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription even leapfrog forward, in the next decade and beyond. The continent’s industry is Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription a leader in mobile banking and other innovative approaches to Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription reaching new customers. Most of its markets are also unusually open among emerging markets to Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription foreign banks and microfinance firms. More than anything else, it Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription offers huge unmet financial needs in a world largely marked by excessive debt and Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription leverage.

Just so you don’t forget that Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription there are countries where these issues really do matter.

Remember Cote d’Ivoire and the civil war that was ended with the help of France? Well, in January this Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription year, the country defaulted on its Eurobond that was issued only last year. They’ve also decided that they won’t start servicing their debt until sometime next year. The IMF country director sounds positive about it: “I think that Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription the markets would be happier with a government that missed a Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription few coupons and made it up later and had a strong recovery, than Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription a government which met its debt service in a timely manner but failed to Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription relaunch the economy”.

…is the Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription title of a piece by Knox Chitiyo for the Guardian. An excerpt:

The UK’s engagement with Africa is often expressed in terms of a “new scramble for Africa“, but this Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription misses out what Africa wants. Certainly Africa wants partnerships with the Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription west, but these need to be equal partnerships that also serve Africa’s strategic vision. For Africa and Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription Europe is simply one among a range of partnerships, which also include Asia and Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription Latin America.

There is Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription another reason why Africa is keen to partner the west. The continent is Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription embarking on a period of internationalism in which it aims to Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription be a key player in the global economic, financial, diplomatic and Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription security architecture. To do this it needs to partner the established players such as the Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription UK. So while the talk is of a new scramble for Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription Africa, for Africans the real issue is Africa’s scramble for the world.

We are Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription dealing with a new great game; at first glance it is Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription about the UK and the world’s role in Africa. But look again: for Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription a new generation of Africans it is actually about pan-African empowerment. If the Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription UK and Europe are to avoid a second wave of recession, they will need Africa’s help as a Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription trade and investment partner. Europe needs Africa. Who’d have thought it?

From a new Accenture report titled At the tipping point: Financial services in Africa comes of age:

The Accenture research study… highlights new growth triggers for Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription financial services, pointing to rapid market development in some countries. While the Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription paths to growth vary, these triggers often include innovation through (very) low-cost offerings and Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription distribution, dramatically opening up access to financial services; investment in physical infrastructure and Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription financial infrastructure development through more sophisticated regulations, and institution building; strong economic growth and Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription inward investment in the economy, including by financial institutions following their clients into new countries; and Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription growth in consumer markets driven by demographic change, including the rise of the Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription urban middle class, and the growth in microfinance-supported businesses in rural areas.

In Accenture’s view, banks and Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription insurers will not achieve sustained success in Africa’s fast-developing markets simply by replicating traditional business models from Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription developed countries. New strategies are needed — including adapting retail banking models to Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription local cultural needs, and finding new ways to serve low-income customers profitably. Contributing to Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription nationbuilding and the development of local communities is a further prerequisite in many countries. And attempts to Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription roll out standardised models must take into account differences in local business and Cheap Clonazepam No Prescription regulatory environments.
