      <video:description><![CDATA[The United Arab Emirates is preparing for a major shift in its energy strategy, with plans to exit OPEC next month. The move comes at a time of heightened volatility in global oil markets, as ongoing tensions in the Middle East raise concerns about demand, supply stability, and broader economic growth. As one of the group's largest producers, the UAE's decision signals a notable pivot, not just for energy markets, but for its wider economic positioning. It also comes as the country continues to deepen trade and investment ties globally, including across Africa, while navigating the economic implications of regional conflict. CNBC Africa is joined by Abdulla Bin Touq Al Marri, Minister: Economy & Tourism, United Arab Emirates for more.]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[South African salaries stable amid rising economic risks]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[South Africa's wage picture is showing signs of stabilisation, but pressure on households is intensifying. The latest PayInc Net Salary Index shows nominal earnings holding steady in the first quarter of 2026, but in real terms, South Africans are getting poorer. A sharp surge in fuel prices, linked to the ongoing Middle East war, is expected to push inflation higher and further erode purchasing power in the months ahead. With government introducing temporary fuel levy relief and the prospect of interest rate hikes back on the table, the outlook for consumers and the broader economy remains uncertain. Elize Kruger, Independent Economist joins CNBC Africa to discuss the numbers. ]]></video:description>

      <video:description><![CDATA[The national average cost of cooking a pot of jollof for a family of five in Nigeria rose 19.4 per cent to 30,435 naira. Ghana saw a mild change as the cost of preparing a pot stood at 435 cedis and 50 pesewas in March 2026, with the report highlighting the immediate impact of the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the tensions in the Middle East, making the West African jollof delicacy the most honest ledger of policy failure and household resilience. David Olujinmi, Analyst at SBM Intelligence, joins CNBC Africa to unpack the report. ]]></video:description>

      <video:description><![CDATA[Private capital activity across Africa is becoming more concentrated, with fewer deals but significantly larger ticket sizes reshaping the investment landscape in the first quarter of 2026. Total disclosed value jumped to $16.1 billion, driven largely by landmark transactions in Nigeria, even as overall deal count declined. Mid-market activity is showing signs of resilience, while sectors like financial services, mobility, and early-stage AI continue to attract targeted investor interest. The data points to a market tilting toward scale, selectivity, and strategic consolidation. Michael Famoroti, Head of Intelligence and Co-founder at Stears, joins CNBC Africa to discuss this further.]]></video:description>
