      <video:description><![CDATA[Responding to the Central Bank of Nigeria's plan to assume full oversight of the fixed income market's settlement process and trading platform, the strategy leader for SAFRIK Investment Group says once the Central Bank of Nigeria starts looking like an exchange and a settlement house, confidence will definitely take a hit. Moreover, the timing of this policy is also concerning because migrating an entire market in a matter of weeks is operationally risky at any rate. However, Vincent Nwani believes strengthening oversight of FMDQ and interoperability between FMDQ and the CBN platforms are more ideal. He joins CNBC Africa for this discussion. ]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[Driving South Africa’s energy transition through private capital]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Renewable-energy tax incentives have unlocked a wave of private investment in South Africa’s commercial solar sector — a clear example of how effective targeted fiscal policy can be. In 2024, the country added roughly 1.1 gigawatts of new solar capacity, even as loadshedding pressures eased. That marked a slowdown from the record 2.6 gigawatts installed in 2023, but still signals strong underlying momentum in private-led generation. The industry is now adjusting to the expiry of Section 12BA’s enhanced allowance in February 2025 which temporarily offered a 125 per cent tax deduction for renewable-energy assets. The standard Section 12B allowance remains in place, continuing to incentivize investment with a 100 per cent deduction. To shine further light on investments in the sector, CNBC Africa is joined by Jonty Sacks, Partner at Jaltech and Matthew Cruise, Business Development Executive at IMPOWER Solar & Storage.]]></video:description>
