False claims suggesting that the British government is bankrolling presidential candidate Panduleni Itula and his Independent Patriots for Change (IPC) party are gaining traction as the 27 November polling day approaches. Rumors that the ruling party is using foreign agencies — possibly Russian-backed — to promote anti-IPC disinformation remain unproven.

Our Sub-Saharan Africa Director, Clementine Wallop, spoke with Charlie Mitchell at S&P Global Commodity Insights about the rise in Nigerian oil production:
NNPC says Nigeria is producing 1.8mn bpd. There will be believers; there will be sceptics. Glad to chat to Charlie Mitchell at S&P Global Commodity Insights on what this could mean. “If these numbers reflect the reality on the ground, it offers some breathing room to the federal government: 1.8mn is above the level for which the [Bola] Tinubu administration budgeted,” said Clementine Wallop, director for sub-Saharan Africa at Horizon Engage. https://lnkd.in/eNJK4-R4

New Bid Round's Tempting Acreage Set to Deliver Record Investor Interest for Algeria What's happening: ALNAFT is on a roadshow to drum up investor interest in its new upstream bid round, which opens later this month. The six perimeters on offer were hand-picked to maximize uptake (see map for details). Why it matters: A decade in the making, the bid round is a major test for Algeria's energy leaders. A poor showing would spell an end to multiple careers at ALNAFT, Sonatrach and the energy ministry. What happens next: We expect the bid round to succeed in attracting new investment to Algeria's upstream. But several geopolitical risks could temper investor interest. Interested in reading our full report on Algeria's bid round and what it means for investors? Comment below and we will be in touch with more information!
Our Americas director, Marcelo J. García, was quoted in Bloomberg today in an article about Argentinian President Javier Milei’s economic program is benefiting local investors to the detriment of foreign investors: “With exchange controls, Argentina is like a closed pen for local investors”, says Marcelo Garcia, director for the Americas at Horizon Engage, a New York-based consultancy. The longer the administration maintains exchange controls, the “more advantage local investors will have.” “Foreign investors see that they will not have the possibility to take their profits home and that is difficult to explain to the headquarters when they have to obtain a final investment decision,” Garcia said. Our experts are regularly relied upon for their expertise by a variety of major media outlets.
