The African #Energy #Bank will be installed by June 2024. In the meantime, the #battle is raging between the #African #countries to host the headquarters of this decisive structure in the empowerment of the continent which so far is forced to #finance itself elsewhere…

And what about Algeria, which has just wrested from Nigeria its place as the leading gas exporter; South Africa, the continent's second largest economy; Egypt, which is also a major gas producer and has the confidence of foreign donors and investors. Etc. When we told you that the battle to shelter this siege will be tough.
For all these contenders, the stakes are twofold: More exposure and influence on the regional and international energy market, but also privileged access to large energy investments. We have learned that Algeria, Egypt, Libya and Nigeria have been working hard for several months to be designated…
