Microsoft and Nebius have inked a $1.74 billion AI infrastructure agreement to expand Nebiuss cloud and AI capabilities. The arrangement covers advanced compute clusters, data centre development, and integration with Microsoft Azure services. Nebius wants to handle largescale AI workloads in Europe and Asia and broaden its enterprise services. Nebiuss stock rose more than 12% after the announcement, indicating that investors were confident in the strategic alliance. By utilising Microsofts experience to expand operations and draw in enterprise clients, the agreement establishes Nebius as a leading force in the global AI infrastructure race. The move is seen by analysts as a counterbalance to cloud supremacy that is centred on the United States and as a boost to regional tech sovereignty. It is anticipated that deployment will start in early 2026. Read More..

Rand Rises 0.4% as South Africa’s Reserves Beat Forecasts

On September 5, the South African rand gained 0.4%, closing at 17.71 versus the US dollar, following central bank data that showed net foreign reserve

On September 5, the South African rand gained 0.4%, closing at 17.71 versus the US dollar, following central bank data that showed net foreign reserves rose from $65.143 billion in July to $65.899 billion in August. Nedbanks prediction of $65.2 billion was surpassed by the increase, which improved investor sentiment. According to Ipsos polling, the rand has already depreciated because of a stronger dollar and waning support for South Africas government of national unity as political disputes damaged public trust. Bearish mood was linked to political and economic uncertainties, according to ETM Analytics. With yields falling 2 basis points to 9.625%, South Africas benchmark 2035 bond likewise saw an increase. Amid wider worries about the volatility of emerging economies, the reserve data assisted in stabilising markets. Read More..

EU Fines Google €2.95B for Adtech Abuse, Sparks U.S. Trade Tensions

Google was penalised €2.95 billion $3.45 billion by the European Union for abusing its adtech dominance by giving preference to its own display adve

Google was penalised €2.95 billion $3.45 billion by the European Union for abusing its adtech dominance by giving preference to its own display advertising services over rivals. Following recent fines in the U.S. and France, this is Googles fourth significant EU punishment. The European Commission concluded that, starting in 2014, Googles actions hurt publishers, advertisers, and customers. President Trump denounced the ruling and threatened to use a Section 301 investigation to retaliate in trade. Google intends to appeal the decision, claiming it could harm companies in Europe. The business has sixty days to suggest fixes. In order to reestablish fair competition, regulators had previously asked Google to sell off a portion of its advertising business. The case highlights the growing hostilities surrounding Big Tech regulation. Read More..

Due to a resurgence in capital markets activity, Bank of America BofA anticipates that its investment banking fees would increase by 10–15% in Q3 20

Due to a resurgence in capital markets activity, Bank of America BofA anticipates that its investment banking fees would increase by 10–15% in Q3 2025. The bank points to a rise in M&A consulting services as well as a rise in demand for equity and debt underwriting. As lending rates stabilise, more businesses are seeking strategic deals, according to CFO Alastair Borthwick, who has seen an improvement in client interaction.

Finance Secretary Confirms IMF Negotiations Proposal Expected After 2026 Elections

After its previous $1 billion programme concluded in 2024 with only $870 million disbursed, Uganda is currently negotiating a new Extended Credit Faci

After its previous $1 billion programme concluded in 2024 with only $870 million disbursed, Uganda is currently negotiating a new Extended Credit Facility with the IMF. The proposal would be brought to the IMF Board following Ugandas national elections in early 2026, according to Finance Secretary Ramathan Ggoobi, who acknowledged that negotiations are in progress. In order to manage its growing public debt, which increased 17.8% last year to $29.1 billion, or 52.1% of GDP, the nation is looking for new concessional funding. Due to difficulties with implementation and a lack of outside finance, the previous programme ended. In the face of growing economic constraints and restricted access to affordable finance, Uganda urgently needs international support and fiscal stability, which is reflected in its appeal for renewed IMF assistance.
