      <video:title><![CDATA[Nedbank’s FY25 diluted HEPS up 3%]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Nedbank is calling 2025 a transformative year, earnings up, impairments down, a major fintech acquisition, an Africa strategy reset, and a bold move into East Africa. But revenue growth remains modest, expenses are higher, and basic earnings have halved. So is this the foundation for stronger returns, or simply steady progress in a lower-rate environment? Mike Davis, CFO, Nedbank joins CNBC Africa to unpack the numbers and the strategy behind them.   ]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[Brimstone’s FY25 headline earnings almost double]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Brimstone Investment is staging a significant turnaround. Headline earnings per share up 98 per cent to 213 cents, a return to profitability, over R520 million in debt reduced, and more than R630 million unlocked through the disposal of Oceana shares. Yet intrinsic NAV declined 11 per cent, revenue fell sharply, and the shares continue to trade at a discount of more than 50 per cent to underlying value. Is this the start of sustained value realisation or does the market remain unconvinced? CNBC Africa is joined by Mustaq Brey, CEO, Brimstone Investment for more. ]]></video:description>

Strong hake biomass, robust European demand, lower fuel prices and disciplined execution drove the group's strongest performance since listing.

      <video:title><![CDATA[Beyond Eurobonds: Exploring Africa's alternative funding paths]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[A new policy brief is calling on African governments to broaden their funding strategies by exploring alternative bond markets beyond traditional Eurobonds. The report highlights Panda, Samurai, Masala, Sukuk and Diaspora bonds, as practical instruments and potentially more concessional financing options that can unlock capital. With growing institutional appetite and support from multilateral development banks, the brief argues that these instruments could help diversify Africa’s funding base while aligning borrowing with sustainable development goals. Etsehiwot Kebret, Development Finance Advisor and lead author of the policy brief joins CNBC Africa's Kenneth Igbomor to unpack what the future holds for alternative financing in Africa. ]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[Middle East tensions: Oil windfall for Nigeria or inflation risk? ]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Nigeria’s economy expanded by 4.07 percent year-on-year in the fourth quarter of 2025, with services leading growth, while net foreign exchange reserves climbed to 34.8 billion dollars, which is a sharp recovery over the past two years. But the bigger question is whether Nigeria can leverage renewed oil price strength that is driven by escalating Middle East tensions and refinery disruptions abroad into a sustained growth push. Higher crude prices may lift export earnings and fiscal buffers, yet they also pose inflation and energy cost risks at home. Paul Alaje, Senior Economist at SPM Professionals joins CNBC Africa for more on the road ahead. ]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[George: Côte d’Ivoire can now reset cocoa price, local buyers & processors' margin]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Tedd George, Chief Narrative Officer at Kleos Advisory says Côte d’Ivoire was forced to bring forward the start of the cocoa mid-crop to early this month as the fixed price was wildly out of synch with international prices, resulting in over 100,000 tonnes of unsold beans. He highlights by bringing the mid-crop forward the government can reset the price and restore the margin of local buyers, processors and traders. He further highlights for Ghana, the COCOBOD is trying to minimise the impact on farmers by fixing a price that is still above the international levels by around $1,000/MT. This will cushion some of the impact, but could prove unsustainable to pay as the mid-crop progresses. He joins CNBC Africa for more on the road ahead for the cocoa industry.]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[Ghana lifts restriction on domestic bond issuance after 3-year freeze]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Ghana’s Ministry of Finance has announced the expiration of a three-year freeze on new domestic bond issuance citing low inflation, improved investor confidence and strong macroeconomic environment is supported by a robust medium term debt management strategy. Meanwhile, Databank expects the cedi’s modest recovery to extend to an interbank mid-rate range of GH₵ 10.75 - 10.95/$1 this month while Retail rates should align around GH₵ 11.55-11.60/$1, with scope for tighter spreads if inflows accelerate. Wilson Zilevu, Fixed Income and Economic Analyst at Databank join CNBC Africa for more on these.

      <video:description><![CDATA[Nigeria’s consumer goods sector staged a comeback in 2025, as industry heavyweights such as Nestlé, Cadbury and Nigerian Breweries return to profitability after posting losses in 2024. Strong domestic demand, double-digit revenue growth and a more stable macroeconomic environment have helped push margins back into positive territory with Nestlé crossing the one-trillion-naira revenue mark for the first time.

      <video:description><![CDATA[The Chairman of Shoreline Group, Kola Karim, says if attacks on Iran and counter-attacks continue for the next four to five weeks as hinted by President Trump, the effect could be very dangerous for oil and gas supply chains and the global economy at large. He notes for Nigeria, the focus should be on developing natural resources and positioning as a dominant player to fill supply gaps near-term.
