      <video:title><![CDATA[South African Reserve Bank's policy outlook]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[The week has been dominated by global interest-rate decisions. The Fed kicked off the week with an expected 25-basis-point hike on Wednesday, while the Bank of Japan also raised rates by 25 basis points this morning. The Bank of England, however, bucked the trend and kept rates unchanged. Here in South Africa, the focus now shifts to the South African Reserve Bank, which delivers its latest rate decision next week. With inflationary pressures still in play and the global rate environment shifting, the MPC faces a difficult call on whether to hike or hold. Joining CNBC Africa to preview that decision is Annabel Bishop, Chief Economist at Investec.]]></video:description>

      <video:title><![CDATA[U.S. Fed rate hike: will Nigeria leave MPR unchanged at 26.5%?]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[The U.S. Federal Reserve is tightening again raising its benchmark rate to 3.75 per cent to 4 per cent, its first hike since 2023, as it battles persistent inflation. For emerging markets like Nigeria and Ghana, the question now is how much pressure this puts on currencies, capital flows and domestic borrowing costs. And for Nigeria, there is an additional policy dilemma with oil prices elevated and 2027 election spending potentially adding to inflationary pressures. Can the CBN afford to keep interest rates on hold? Bankole Odusanya, Treasury Chief Dealer at Polaris Bank joins CNBC Africa for more on this and highlights of market movements. ]]></video:description>

      <video:description><![CDATA[West Africa’s data center gap is bigger than most portfolios reflect. That’s according to Stears latest report which shows Nigeria, Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire, and Senegal together had roughly 30 commercial Tier III facilities and about 30 megawatts of live capacity as of early 2025, serving four markets with close to 165 million broadband connections growing at 10 per cent a year. Around 120 megawatts of new capacity is in the pipeline through 2030, with Nigeria expected to account for most of it. Michael Famoroti, Head of Intelligence and Co-Founder of Stears joins CNBC Africa to unpack the report. ]]></video:description>
