Ideas
Mariya Dangote Board Member, Dangote Group 2:56
Dangote Cement expanding capacity, leading competitors.
Dangote Cement currently produces about 55 million metric tons per annum and is targeting 80 million by 2030; Nigeria used to import cement but the company now exports, and Mariya says Dangote Cement is far ahead of competitors and focused on serving Nigerian customers better.
Dangote Cement HIGH
Johannes Loefstrand Portfolio Manager, T. Rowe Price Frontier Markets Equity Fund 16:21
Dangote Refinery IPO could transform Nigerian markets.
Johannes sees the planned Dangote Refinery IPO as a potentially defining moment for Nigeria's capital markets, comparable to big industrial listings such as Carnegie in the US and Reliance in India, but only if there is enough liquidity, best-practice standards, an attractive valuation, and subsequent market broadening that keeps local capital invested.
Nigerian equities HIGH
Yvonne Ike Managing Director, Bank of America & Head of Sub-Saharan Africa 18:45
African frontier market returns outweigh risks.
She argues that returns from investing on the African continent outweigh the risks associated with frontier markets, supported by better-run companies, improving governance, more research and increasing debt and equity capital market activity.
FRN HIGH
Yvonne Ike Managing Director, Bank of America & Head of Sub-Saharan Africa 20:41
African debt issuance boom strengthens region.
Sub-Saharan Africa is seeing one of its highest years of debt capital issuance, over $20 billion so far in the year and a growing pipeline; African issuers are increasingly able to raise billions in unsecured, unrated debt because investors are looking more deeply at African economies and company investment cases.
Sub-Saharan African debt HIGH
Yvonne Ike Managing Director, Bank of America & Head of Sub-Saharan Africa 21:51
Commodity supercycle supports Africa's critical minerals.
Yvonne links the commodity supercycle and growing recognition of Africa's critical minerals to stronger African economies and expects more development and more African companies coming to debt and equity capital markets.
