I have been frustrated with how disjointed news about African banking is. Fintechs get great coverage, traditional banks less so - despite being massively important.

So I built a site that aggregates and summarizes the latest from across the continent 👇🏼

Ethiopia leading the world in ‘hot and spicy’

[Crémieux @cremieuxrecueil]

When I first saw this graph, the main thing that stood out to me was that Japan has the world's least spicy food.

Even Brits eat spicier food.

I often get asked to share what I know about which central banks are doing what in the retail central bank digital currency (#CBDC) space, so here's an abbreviated version of my retail CBDC slides: https://t.co/MiHZxVsQWm

As a former policy advisor to Dominic Raab, fascinating to read the report by Adam Tolley KC :

an anthropological and sociological masterpiece on Mr Raab’s work ethic and ways of working. https://t.co/2zISTxRjnx

The fourth minister I advised who was sacked.

A pattern?

@Abele_a Amazing stuff! Congratulations! And good to see the family.

Ethiopia has undergone several significant changes under Abiy Ahmed's leadership, not least of which is the frequent reshuffling of cabinet ministers and other key officials in #Ethiopia's government.

@LueyeA I’ve seen quite a few VC funded businesses in Africa ending up with unsustainable cost structures, then failing to survive in markets where prices and margins are low. Doesn’t happen when you bootstrap. Big part of the product market fit I think.
