Lifting fuel from Dangote refinery costs more than importing from Togo, Dangote reveals
In a scathing indictment of the country's port infrastructure and pricing structure, Dangote revealed that lifting refined petroleum products from the Lekki-based refinery is now more expensive for oil marketers than buying from offshore storage depots in neighboring countries, such as Togo. Speaking bluntly at the just-concluded Global Commodity Insights Conference on West Africa's refined fuel market, regarding the economic inefficiencies afflicting the local market, Dangote cited a slew of port-related fees and regulatory constraints that local merchants confront. At the event, which was jointly hosted by the NMDPRA and S&P Global Commodity Insights in Abuja, Dangote noted that multiple fees at the refinery's loading point and discharge at domestic terminals, which are essentially absent when marketers import gasoline from offshore facilities such as the Lomé Floating Storage Terminal, were to blame. 'In terms of port charges, it is currently more expensive to load a domestic cargo of petroleum products from the Dangote Refinery, as customers pay both at the point of loading and the point of discharge. But when they load from Lome, which competes with us, they pay only at the point of discharge. This is simply unfair and unsustainable,' the Nigerian billionaire relayed. As reported by the Punch, after their findings, marketers who source fuel from the Dangote Refinery have to pay these charges. This was also reiterated by the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria National Publicity Secretary, Chinedu Ukadike. 'We don't load in Lomé, but for Nigerian distribution through the coastal route, it is easier to use the vessels here in Nigeria because it is interstate. Most of the international clearance and the rest is not applicable, because you would be able to avoid a lot of charges, both international and local charges,' he stated. 'It is better to load from Dangote via both means. But if you are loading coastal from another country, it is more difficult than when you are loading from Nigeria,' he added. However, some other players have cited the refinery's restrictive sale methods as a reason why there are complications in the supply chain. This point was elaborated on by Executive Secretary of DAPPMAN, Olufemi Adewole, who noted that the way Dangote conducts business does not benefit most local marketers, particularly small businesses that rely on flexible coastal supply chains. 'Since the advent of Dangote refinery, it has not been smooth sailing at all. We had preliminary meetings with their management. We received promises and assurances that we would be accommodated. We are ready and still willing to patronise Dangote. But the issue is, is Dangote ready to give us the product we want?' he stated. 'You don't get the price upfront,' Adewole explained. 'It is only after you've been cleared that a proforma invoice is issued. Meanwhile, there appears to be a select group Dangote prefers to trade with,' he added.

U.K. and India sign 'Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement'
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi met on Thursday to sign a trade agreement between the two nations. Pool Photo by Chris J. Ratcliffe/EPA July 24 (UPI) -- Britain and India agreed to a free trade agreement between their two nations Thursday. "A new chapter begins today in the India-U.K. economic partnership," said Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his social media platform Thursday. "The signing of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement reflects our shared commitment to enhancing trade, driving inclusive growth and creating opportunities for farmers, women, youth, [Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises] and professionals." The deal is expected to inject over $6.5 billion into the British economy and create more than $8 billion by way of investments from companies based in both countries. "Our landmark trade deal with India is a major win for Britain," British Prime Minister Keir Starmer posted to X Thursday. "This is about putting more money in the pockets of hardworking Brits and helping families with the cost of living." Modi and Starmer met and held a press conference on Thursday at Starmer's country house in Buckinghamshire County. Job growth in sectors such as technology, aerospace and manufacturing is expected, as noted in a press release from the U.K. Thursday. "Thanks to the deal, British workers will enjoy a collective uplift in wages of [nearly $3 billion] each year and could also see cheaper prices and more choice on clothes, shoes, and food products," the statement said. Scottish Labor Party MP Ian Murray praised the deal online Thursday. "The India Trade Deal is great news for Scottish jobs and business," Murray posted to X. "The landmark agreement will deliver [an over $257 million] boost for the Scottish economy as part of the Plan for Change." The U.K. Plan for Change are the current goals sought to achieve by the current British government. The agreement is also anticipated to make imported goods cheaper for Indian consumers, according to a press release from the Indian government Thursday, which would include luxury cars, gin, Scotch whisky, cosmetics and medical devices. "Within the next two years, India's leather industry is projected to increase its market share in the U.K. by 5%," the release said. Bharti Enterprises conglomerate Founder and Chairman Sunil Bharti Mittal accompanied Modi as a delegate to meet with Starmer in England. "This agreement establishes a modern, forward-looking partnership that will stimulate innovation, ease market access, and foster investment," said Mittal. "Businesses in both India and the U.K. stand to benefit as this lays the foundation for expanding bilateral cooperation across key growth sectors." Tariffs between the U.K. and India will also lessen, as Britain will reduce levies on 99% of Indian exports, while India will decrease tariffs on 90% of British goods. The trade deal will "add momentum to the 'Make in India' led growth and export promotion," said Modi Thursday. "The future indeed holds the promise of greater prosperity and deeper ties between our nations."

South Korea Weighs US Investment Pledge to Trim Auto Tariff
(Bloomberg) -- The US and South Korea have discussed creating a fund to invest in American projects as part of a trade deal, similar to an agreement Japan struck Tuesday with President Donald Trump, people familiar with the matter said. Trump Awards $1.26 Billion Contract to Build Biggest Immigrant Detention Center in US Why the Federal Reserve's Building Renovation Costs $2.5 Billion The High Costs of Trump's 'Big Beautiful' New Car Loan Deduction Salt Lake City Turns Winter Olympic Bid Into Statewide Bond Boom The scope of the discussions was not immediately clear, but the US has been seeking pledges totaling hundreds of billions of dollars. The talks remain fluid, the people said, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss details of the negotiations. Japan's deal saw the country agree to backstop a $550 billion fund in exchange for dropping a threatened 25% tariff to 15%. The discount also applied to automobiles, an important export for the Asian country's economy. The South Korea talks are similarly focused on reaching a 15% tariff rate, including for autos, one of the people said. The deal may also include a pledge by South Korea to purchase more goods in key sectors, one of the people said, again echoing the Japan pact, which included an agreement to purchase Boeing Co. planes and agriculture products. The White House declined to comment. The South Korean trade ministry also declined to comment. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said he would meet with South Korean officials on Thursday. In a CNBC interview, Lutnick argued Tokyo's agreement put pressure on Seoul to accept similar terms. 'You could hear the expletives out of Korea when they read the Japanese deal,' Lutnick said. 'The Koreans, like the Europeans, very much want to make a deal.' Trump has threatened to impose a higher general tariff of 25% starting Aug. 1, in addition to the existing levies on vehicles, vehicle parts and steel that are straining ties between Seoul and Washington. A Korean trade delegation is in Washington this week for talks, according to the Asian nation's finance ministry, and Trade Minister Yeo Han-koo is set to meet with US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer as part of those discussions. However, a planned '2+2' dialogue that was scheduled for July 25 with Yeo and Finance Minister Koo Yoon-cheol alongside Greer and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was postponed and will be rescheduled, the Korean side said. Lutnick has suggested a $400 billion figure in talks with South Korea, one of the people said. Lutnick presented that same number to Trump as part of talks with Japan but the US president eventually negotiated the fund up to $550 billion. South Korea is preparing to propose at least $100 billion in US investment pledges, Yonhap News reported, citing unidentified sources. The funds were secured through consultations with the nation's conglomerates, including Samsung Electronics Co., SK, Hyundai Motor Co. and LG Electronics Inc., and could grow if government support is added. Seoul had planned to unveil a $100 billion offer during the now-postponed July 25 talks, according to Yonhap. While smaller than Japan's pledges, South Korea's economy, at less than half the size of Japan's, makes matching the same dollar-value pledges a significant challenge for Seoul. Some South Korean companies have already made significant investment pledges in the US. The chairman of Hyundai visited the White House in March to announce a $21 billion investment plan that includes an expansion of vehicle production in Georgia and a new steel plant in Louisiana. The deal with Japan threatens to create a competitive advantage for that country's automakers if Seoul is unable to reach a similar agreement. 'This really puts a lot of pressure on South Korea. If they can get 15%, I'm sure they'd be thrilled but they are in a different position than Japan,' said William Chou, deputy director of the Japan Chair at the Hudson Institute, a conservative think tank. That notion was echoed by the White House on Wednesday. 'We're in a situation where, for example, German cars, are going to be at a disadvantage now, to Japanese cars, because it's a 25% tariff on German. Same thing with Hyundais from South Korea,' White House trade adviser Peter Navarro said Wednesday on Bloomberg Television. Navarro said the Japanese deal was best interpreted as the president 'doing a synergistic whole deal with the rest of the world.' 'This is just one part of that chess game,' he said. Trump, speaking at an artificial intelligence event earlier Wednesday, suggested that he would not go below 15% as he sets so-called reciprocal tariff rates — while also indicating he would reward nations that removed trade barriers on US exports. 'The tariff is very important, but the opening of a country, I think, can be more important if our businesses do the job that they're supposed to be doing,' Trump said. 'Such openings are worthy of many points in tariffs.' --With assistance from Heesu Lee, Jennifer A. Dlouhy, Derek Wallbank and Yuko Takeo.
