Ghana's president says a proposed $10 billion, four-year New Economy Programme will be central to strengthening the cedi, with the plan anchored in the 2027 Budget. BP has taken over operatorship of three Namibian offshore licences, and Mozambique and Malawi have each been selected for $40 million from the Climate Investment Fund. Nigeria's Debt Management Office raised 17.4% less from its November savings bonds than in October, and Ivory Coast's BRVM index led African markets on the day.
