Economy & Energy – Your Daily African Briefing
Welcome to the hub for all things economy and energy on Daily Africa Disko. Whether you’re tracking market shifts, new power projects or policy moves, this page gives you a fast‑track view of what’s shaping the continent right now.
Why the Economy & Energy mix matters
The two topics are tangled together: a change in energy supply can swing inflation, job numbers and trade balances. That means every new solar farm or oil price tweak sends ripples through local businesses and households alike. Keeping an eye on both sides helps you spot opportunities before they become headlines.
What’s hot today
One story that’s stirring conversation is the recent BBC piece on the U.S. coal industry’s decline. While it focuses on America, the lesson hits home for African energy planners. The study from Georgia Tech shows a sharp drop in coal reserves and points to a faster shift toward renewables. For African nations that still rely heavily on coal, the data sparks debate about when to pivot to solar or wind.
Our own analysis breaks down what this means for Africa: lower global demand could push coal prices down, making existing mines less profitable. At the same time, cheaper renewable tech opens doors for new projects in Kenya, South Africa and Nigeria. The bottom line? Investors are watching the U.S. move closely, and that watchfulness could speed up funding for African green energy.
Beyond the coal story, the category covers a wide range of topics – from inflation trends in Ghana to the latest oil pipeline approvals in Angola. Each article is written in plain language so you can grasp the impact without digging through jargon‑filled reports.
