Driving sustainable investment in African Mining

THE INVESTOR VIEW

Mineral export bans - How does this affect investment opportunities?

  • The recent increase in export bans within certain African countries is indicative of government’s interest to enhance their own downstream economic wealth – but how do global investors feel about this? 
  • Will this scenario lead to a rise in greater local investment spend? 
  • Can there be a balance between reducing mineral exports but still tapping into and feeding global demand? 
  • Ultimately, does the government have the right to do this? Is the negative impact not greater than the intended positive outcome?
