Joining CNBC Africa to discuss the outlook for Botswana's private markets and the broader investment landscape is Bame Pule, CEO Officer of Africa Lighthouse Capital. ]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[Africa's AI ambitions and data centre boom]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Artificial Intelligence is rapidly becoming a defining force in the global economy, with the technology expected to add almost $16 trillion to global GDP by 2030. Yet Africa accounts for less than 1 per cent of global data centre capacity, despite being home to nearly a fifth of the world's population. As governments and investors race to build the digital infrastructure needed for the AI economy, the question is whether Africa can seize this moment— not just as a consumer of AI, but as a creator of it.
Joining CNBC Africa to unpack what's needed to build that future is Steven Santini, Vice President: Secure Power, SSA, Schneider Electric and Kesh Mudaly, Managing Director & Partner at BCG.

      <video:title><![CDATA[Will ECOWAS launch ECO single currency in 2027?]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[ECOWAS leaders have reaffirmed their commitment to launching the ECO single currency next year as part of efforts to deepen regional economic integration and boost intra-African trade. Meanwhile, the United States has imposed a 12.5 per cent tariff on Nigerian imports, along with imports from several other African countries, over forced labour claims. Reacting to the move, Ken Ife, Lead Consultant, Industry & Private Sector Development at the ECOWAS Commission, says while the tariff appears significant, its macroeconomic impact on Nigeria will be limited, as about 80 per cent of the country's exports to the U.S. fall under energy security exemptions. He joins CNBC Africa for this discussion.]]></video:description>
