Following the success of Secana Beachtown in Berawa and Cocana Resort on Gili Trawangan — which recently earned a Tripadvisor Travelers' Choice Award placing it within the top 10% of hotels worldwide — the addition of Kuara further cements the company's position as a leader in luxury real estate and hospitality development.
'Kuara is a special project for us. It brings together our passion for meaningful hospitality and our ability to identify emerging destinations with exceptional potential,' said Scott Matson, Chief Operating Officer at Mirah Investment & Development. 'The soft launch marks more than the opening of a resort — it represents a key moment in our company's evolution and our growing footprint across Indonesia.'
Kuara's one- to three-bedroom villas offer modern amenities and refined comfort while preserving an authentic sense of place. Designed by award-winning designer Alexia Dubus, the villas draw inspiration from traditional craftsmanship and local materials, creating spaces that feel both elevated and grounded. Select villas feature direct beachfront access, private swimming pools, or open-air fire pits.
Mirah Investment & Development's expanding portfolio now includes luxury serviced residences, villa estates, hotels, resorts, restaurants, gym clubs, and beach clubs — each designed to meet the evolving expectations of modern travellers and investors alike. The soft launch of Kuara signals continued confidence in Indonesia's tourism growth and in Mirah's ability to deliver high-performing assets.
'It's an exciting time for our team and partners as we continue scaling across the region,' added Scott Matson. 'With upcoming projects in Uluwatu, Bingin [Amali Luxury Residence & SOMOSHOTELS] and our landmark partnership with FINNS Bali, one of Indonesia's most iconic lifestyle brands [FINNS Bali Resort], we're building not just resorts, but a future-facing ecosystem of world-class destinations.'
Kuara is the latest resort from Mirah Investment & Development, whose previous project—Cocana Resort in Gili Trawangan—earned a Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice Award and placed in the top 10% of hotels worldwide. With such recognition setting the standard, expectations are high for Kuara, which brings Mirah's signature blend of refined design, immersive experiences, and elevated hospitality to one of Lombok's most pristine coastal locations.
The launch of Kuara underscores Mirah's consistent commitment to innovation, excellence, and long-term value creation.

Industrialisation-led growth necessary for Nigeria's economic resurgence — NESG
The Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG) has invited stakeholders to chart a bold, new course for Nigeria's industrialisation and economic future, as the country gears up for the 31st Nigerian Economic Summit (NES #31). The spotlight will focus on a critical lever for economic transformation: Driving Industrialisation-led Growth. The NESG said this sub-theme, central to this year's discourse, reinforces the urgent need to revitalise Nigeria's industrial base as a pathway to sustainable development, job creation, export competitiveness, and inclusive prosperity. According to the NESG, with the Summit scheduled to hold from October 6–7, 2025, at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja, Nigeria's path to prosperity hinges on its ability to transition from a consumption-driven to a production-based economy. It added that despite its large population and abundant natural resources, Nigeria has struggled with deindustrialisation, overdependence on imports, and limited value addition in key sectors. 'Industrialisation offers a strategic solution to these challenges by unlocking the country's manufacturing potential, enhancing productivity, and strengthening linkages across agriculture, extractives, and services,' the NESG stated. It pointed out that through this sub-theme, NES #31 will convene industry leaders, policymakers, financiers, development partners, and entrepreneurs to examine how Nigeria can build globally competitive industries anchored in innovation, local content development, and enabling infrastructure. 'It will also explore how industrial policy can be better aligned with market realities, technological trends, and Nigeria's demographic advantage,' it further noted. Under the sub-theme, the NESG said the focus areas will cover 'The discussions under Driving Industrialisation-led Growth will centre on: Revamping Industrial Policy: Reviewing and modernising Nigeria's industrial strategies to reflect contemporary global and regional trends, including the AfCFTA and digital transformation. SME Competitiveness: Supporting small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as engines of innovation, job creation, and industrial diversification. Value Chain Development: Promoting backwards and forward integration, especially in agribusiness, mining, and pharmaceuticals, to maximise local content and export potential. Technology and Innovation: Leveraging Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies to scale productivity and competitiveness in manufacturing. Access to Finance: Catalysing private sector investment and innovative financing mechanisms to unlock capital for industrial growth'. Delving into the pillars for progress: Reforms, Resilience, Results, the NESG highlighted: 'Guided by the NES #31 strategic pillars—Reforms, Resilience, and Results—this sub-theme will stress the importance of reforming Nigeria's regulatory and infrastructure landscape to enable industrial take-off. From streamlined business processes and improved power supply to trade facilitation and skills development, Nigeria must build resilient systems that deliver tangible results. Industrialisation is not just about factories—it is about creating a national ecosystem of productivity, where skilled labour, reliable infrastructure, access to finance, and supportive policies work together to generate wealth and economic opportunities for millions'. Calling for coordinated action, the NESG said, 'the journey to industrialisation requires more than rhetoric—it demands intentional collaboration across the public and private sectors. NES #31 presents a unique opportunity for stakeholders to forge partnerships, commit to reform implementation, and co-create a future where Nigeria becomes the industrial powerhouse of West Africa. 'Through robust dialogue and shared accountability, the Summit will inspire actionable strategies that move Nigeria beyond resource dependence towards a diversified, innovation-led economy that works for all.' The Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG) is Nigeria's leading private sector think tank and policy advocacy organisation; since 1993, it has promoted inclusive economic growth through evidence-based research, stakeholder engagement, and its flagship annual Nigerian Economic Summit—Nigeria's foremost platform for public-private dialogue.

China's Zhenhua Oil doubles crude offtake from UAE in new deal, sources say
China's Zhenhua Oil is set to double its oil offtake from Abu Dhabi National Oil Co to 200,000 barrels per day after taking on a new role leading development of one of the exporter's top oilfields, three Chinese industry sources said. In January, the smallest of China's state oil companies replaced French major TotalEnergies following a bidding process to become asset leader for Bu Hasa, the largest onshore oilfield in the United Arab Emirates, the sources said. With that new role, in which Zhenhua is responsible for setting Bu Hasa's development plan and meeting production and cost targets, it also agreed a new annual deal to receive an additional 5 million tons, or 100,000 bpd, from ADNOC, the sources said. The offtake deal, finalised around April, and Zhenhua's role in Bu Hasa have not been previously reported. It adds to Zhenhua's existing 100,000 bpd offtake agreement as an equity holder in ADNOC Onshore, said the sources, declining to be named as they were not authorised to speak to the media. The total amount of crude Zhenhua is contracted to receive from ADNOC will be ramped up to 200,000 bpd by around year-end, one of them said. Zhenhua and TotalEnergies did not respond to requests for comment. ADNOC said it does not comment on commercial matters. In April, ADNOC set up an office in Beijing to expand investment opportunities with Chinese partners. Established in 2003 under state defense conglomerate Norinco, Zhenhua specialises in oil and gas production outside China and has oil assets in Iraq, Pakistan and Kazakhstan. In 2018, Zhenhua won a 4% stake in ADNOC's giant onshore concessions, securing a position alongside heavyweights including BP, TotalEnergies and CNPC. With the increased offtake, Zhenhua is set to become a more active trader of Abu Dhabi's main Murban grade. The company, which runs trading desks in Beijing and Singapore, will place its first crude trader in Abu Dhabi this month, the sources added.
