Kenya Weighs Splitting Biggest Listed Firm Into Three Units
(Bloomberg) -- Kenya's government is considering a separation of the nation's biggest listed company — Safaricom Plc — into three units as part of a process that may include reducing the state's 35% stake in the mobile-phone operator. An assessment has found that there would be 'a huge benefit' to the state from splitting the company into a telecommunications firm, a tower operator and its popular mobile-payments platform M-Pesa, Treasury Secretary John Mbadi said in an interview in the capital, Nairobi, on Wednesday. A final plan on breaking up the company and a reduction in the government's stake has yet to be agreed and would require cabinet approval to be implemented, he said. Kenya's government has been considering offloading shares in Safaricom, which is part-owned by Vodacom Group Ltd. of South Africa, as part of a plan to sell state assets to private investors to boost revenue. Splitting the company into multiple units would offer an opportunity to revalue the entire business and then consider a separate listing of the units, Mbadi said. 'We are discussing whether to offload more shares as an entity or split them and then get the fresh valuation, and then get to that direction,' the minister said. Safaricom shares rose as much as 3.4%, the most in seven weeks. The company declined to comment, while Vodacom didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. Kenya's central bank wants the nation's telecoms companies to separate their mobile-money units from their mobile telephony services so that it can effectively supervise the fintech units. While rivals Telkom Kenya Ltd. and Airtel Kenya Ltd. have complied with the directive, Safaricom has been hampered by a tax dispute, according to Governor Kamau Thugge. The Treasury has also almost concluded a review of that tax matter in which Safaricom is estimated to owe 75 billion shillings ($580.5 million), Mbadi said. Splitting Safaricom 'makes little strategic sense,' according to Bloomberg Intelligence analyst John Davies. 'Operational frictions would be unavoidable, any available tower synergies can be gained from sharing deals rather than sales and other African carriers that have brought in external fintech investors have seen no sustained share-price benefit.' Plans to split Safaricom have been under consideration for some time and the company appears to have already taken steps in line with that, according to Ali Hussein Kassim, a technology analyst and chairman of the Association of Fintechs in Kenya, a lobby group. 'There's already M-Pesa Africa, that shows you that Safaricom is on the road to have the mobile money business as a stand alone unit,' Kassim said by phone.

Expected global average inflation rate 4% in 2025, 3.9% in 2026: ifo
The expected global average inflation rate this year is 4 per cent, according to the Economic Experts Survey (EES) for the second quarter (Q2) of 2025 conducted by Munich-based ifo Institute for Economic Research. This is the same as the expectations in Q1 2025. Experts also expect high inflation rates worldwide in the years ahead. With an average expected inflation rate of 3.9 per cent for 2026, expectations globally are only 0.1 percentage point (pp) lower compared to expectations for 2025. The expected global average inflation rate is 4 per cent for 2025 and 3.9 per cent for 2026, a Q2 2025 survey by Germany's ifo Institute revealed. Experts also expect high inflation rates worldwide in the years ahead. In the long term, up to 2028, inflation expectations also remain at a high level of 3.7 per cent. For 2025, experts expect the lowest inflation rates in Western Europe: 1.8 per cent. In the long term, up to 2028, inflation expectations also remain at a high level of 3.7 per cent. This represents a minimal decrease compared with 3.8 per cent in the Q1 2025 survey. Long-term inflation expectations are, therefore, not increasing anymore but rather stagnating as well, according to an ifo release. Inflation expectations vary widely across the world regions. For 2025, experts expect the lowest inflation rates in Western Europe (1.8 per cent), where the expectations are below the 2-per cent inflation target of the European Central Bank. Expectations in Northern America, Oceania and Northern Europe are slightly higher (2.7 per cent-3.1 per cent). Notably, expectations in Northern America remain elevated compared to the end of the previous year, reflecting still ongoing inflationary pressures. Expectations in other parts of Europe (Southern Europe: 3.2 per cent, Eastern Europe: 7.6 per cent) remain above central banks' inflation targets. Within Asia, there is substantial heterogeneity across sub-regions. While expectations in Eastern Asia (4.3 per cent) and South-Eastern Asia (3.3 per cent) are moderately elevated compared to inflation targets, expectations are significantly higher in Western, Southern and Central Asia (8 per cent, 10.7 per cent and 11.3 per cent respectively). With the exception of Southern Africa (4.3 per cent), all other African regions expect short-run inflation rates to be well above average: Western Africa: 7.8 per cent; Middle Africa: 14.8 per cent; Eastern Africa: 22.9 per cent; Northern Africa: 40.8 per cent, the release noted. In the Americas, inflation expectations are mixed, ranging from 2.7 per cent in Northern America to 9.8 per cent in South America. Experts in Central America and the Caribbean report relatively moderate expectations at 3 per cent. For 2028, experts expect inflation rates in Western Europe (1.9 per cent), Northern Europe (2.6 per cent), Northern America (2.7 per cent) and Oceania (2.7 per cent) to almost return to or approach the 2-per cent inflation rate targeted by many central banks. However, for some sub-regions, the expectations are higher than in the previous quarter. Higher long-term inflation expectations are recorded for example in Southern Europe (3.1 per cent), Eastern Europe (5.5 per cent), Western Asia (6.1 per cent), Southern-Eastern Asia (3.6 per cent), and in Southern Africa (5.2 per cent). The highest long-term inflation rates are expected in Northern Africa (23.6 per cent) and Eastern Africa (20.5 per cent). The EES is a quarterly survey conducted by the ifo Institute. More than 1,300 economic experts from 121 countries took part in the survey between June 17, 2025 and July 1, 2025. Fibre2Fashion News Desk (DS)

After Trump Tariff Hit, Lesotho Turns to Asia and Other Markets
Lesotho is courting buyers in Asia and elsewhere for its textiles after producers were battered by the uncertainty surrounding US President Donald Trump's new tariff regime and has already secured new business from neighboring South Africa. 'We are pursuing alternative markets from all over,' Trade Minister Mokhethi Shelile said in an interview. 'That's in Southeast Asia, Asia, Africa and Europe.' The Southern African Customs Union, a free-trade bloc that comprises Lesotho, Botswana, Eswatini, Namibia and South Africa, is a priority market, and its members are 'positively responding to us,' he said. The US threatened to impose a 50% tariff on imports from the mountain kingdom in April — the highest in the world at the time — when Trump unveiled sweeping reciprocal levies on trading partners. Orders from the US, Lesotho's largest export market for textiles, dried up almost overnight, causing factories to halt operations and severe job losses. After a more than three month pause, the levy was lowered to 15%. While positive, the reduction 'is not good enough for our textile industry,' as buyers may switch to nations with even lower reciprocal tariffs, Shelile said. Goods from competitors Eswatini and Kenya are being subjected to 10% duties. The textile sector — Lesotho's biggest private employer — employs 12,000 people and supports 40,000 indirect jobs. US buyers include retailers such as Walmart Inc., JC Penney and Levi Strauss & Co. The tiny African nation, surrounded by South Africa, is angling for a tariff of 10% or less and sees room for further talks with the Office of the US Trade Representative as it looks to diversify sales beyond its biggest garment buyer. 'Already we're looking to pivot away from the US and some factories are exporting to South Africa,' Shelile said. The main issue which remains is how fast orders for the textile industry can pick up to avert disaster, he added. A two-year national state of disaster that Lesotho's government declared last month amid soaring unemployment will remain in place. for the twice-weekly Next Africa newsletter, and subscribe to the Next Africa podcast on Apple, Spotify or anywhere you listen.
