Morocco’s economy booms while household spending lags behind

Morocco's economy booms while household spending lags behind Morocco’s economy surged to its highest growth rate in nearly a decade in 2025, with GDP expanding by 4.9%.

Morocco stands as a beacon of political and economic success in africa

Burkina Faso court strikes down gold streaming deal amid sovereignty push

A landmark ruling by Burkina Faso’s judiciary has sent shockwaves through the global mining sector, nullifying a high-profile gold streaming agreement between Canadian firms Franco-Nevada and Sandstorm Gold Royalties and a domestic mining asset. The decision, far-reaching in its implications, casts doubt on the legal resilience of financial instruments widely deployed across Africa to fund gold production upfront. Gold streaming operates on a straightforward premise: a financier injects capital into a mining operator in exchange for the right to purchase a fixed share of the mine’s output over its lifetime at a below-market rate. Franco-Nevada and Sandstorm rank among the most influential players in this space, with portfolios spanning multiple African jurisdictions. The Burkina Faso ruli...

The launch of a sovereign PKI addresses both technical and strategic imperatives. Technically, this infrastructure delivers the digital certificates essential for electronic signatures, encryption of sensitive communications, and robust user authentication across public and private sectors. Strategically, ...
