Dans ce nouvel épisode, la Belgique se retrouve face à un deficit budgétaire plus élevé que prévu alors que le budget de la défense est en pleine expansion. Le gouvernement va devoir trouver des solutions pour faire face à ces nouvelles dépenses. À Bruxelles, des chercheurs néerlandophones et francophones ont proposé des solutions alternatives pour former un gouvernement. Ils proposent plusieurs solutions mais le chemin pour y arriver reste long. L'Empire des Lumières de Magritte s'est vendu à plus de 100 millions d'euros. Le monde de l'art contemporain, en déclin, semble avoir trouvé un nouveau public qui redonne de l'espoir au secteur. Du côté de la tech, l'informatique quantique se commercialise de plus en plus et les recherches sur le sujet avance. Vincent Genot nous explique ce phénomène et les enjeux. Du côté de la bourse, on se tourne vers le marché chinois qui semble se relancer petit à petit.
In this episode of Critical Thinking, Jo Holden, Global Head of Investment Research and Advisory at Mercer, is joined by Leslie Maasdorp, CEO at British International Investment (BII) and Matt Robinson, Head of Private Capital Mobilisation at BII, to explore the world of development finance institutions (DFIs), capital mobilisation, and how DFIs can open up new investment opportunities for institutional investors in emerging markets and developing markets (EMDEs).Investment flows into EMDEs remain far below the levels needed to support development and combat climate change. The Independent High-Level Expert Group (IHLEG) on Climate Finance estimates that these countries, excluding China, will require $1 trillion annually by 2030, rising to $1.3 trillion by 2035. While these regions offer diversification benefits and strong impact potential, global investors often perceive them as too high risk, with current flows only just surpassing $100 billion annually. Bridging this gap will require a strategic blend of public and private investment.Key takeaways include:What is meant by mobilisation and why it matters: Mobilisation refers to attracting and effectively deploying private capital alongside DFIs to increase investment in markets that typically do not meet institutional investors' risk/return profiles. Mobilisation is essential in scaling climate action within EMDEs, where climate change effects are most severe. This need for partnership was underscored by the UK Prime Minister's announcement of a £100 million Mobilisation Facility, managed by BII, to facilitate private investment in EMDEs. With EDME's expected to play a crucial role in global economic growth, investing in these markets creates investment opportunities for growth, diversification and impact.How this facility addresses some of the challenges investors face when considering investment in these markets: As BII's first concessional mandate that offers derisking opportunity for third-party investors, the facility plays a critical role in bridging the 'relative value gap' between institutional investors' risk appetite and the risk profile of BII's portfolio. By offering significant risk mitigation, it encourages greater investor participation-essential for achieving climate impact at scale. A key feature of the facility is its high-risk tolerance- with BII's capital able to absorb potential capital erosion, reducing downside risks for institutional investors.The type of risks that this facility will help mitigate and the investments this will open up to institutional investors: BII will accept below-market returns to boost private investor returns or provide credit enhancements through guarantees or insurance, helping to de-risk investments without distorting the underlying market. This will enable institutional investors to test, seed, and scale climate-focused technologies, businesses, and investment strategies with transformational impact across Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean.This content is for institutional investors and for information purposes only.

Recce Pharmaceuticals Ltd (ASX:RCE, OTC:RECEF) CEO James Graham joins Proactive's Tylah Tully to discuss the approval the company has received from Indonesia's Drug and Food Regulatory Authority (Badan POM) for a registrational Phase 3 clinical trial of RECCE® 327 topical gel (R327G) for treating diabetic foot infections (DFIs). The trial will start in mid-December and represents a significant milestone for the company in the ASEAN region. It will be conducted as a double-blinded, placebo-controlled study, enrolling up to 300 patients, with results expected in late 2025 and potential commercialisation in 2026. The trial has support from Indonesian stakeholders, including the Ministry of Health and PT Etana Biotechnologies as well as the Australian Government. The project will cost approximately US$2 million, partially offset by Australia's 43.5% R&D rebate. This will be one of the largest DFI studies globally and the first in Indonesia, addressing urgent health challenges in a country with more than 19.5 million adults living with diabetes. In Australia, Recce plans to launch a Phase 3 trial of R327G in 2025, aligning with its ASEAN-focused strategy. These advancements bring Recce closer to commercialisation, with Graham acknowledging support from Australian and Indonesian authorities in expediting the process. #ProactiveInvestors #ReccePharmaceuticals, #ASX #OTC #ClinicalTrials, #DiabeticFootInfections, #R327G, #ASEANHealthcare, #MedicalInnovation, #Indonesia, #BadanPOM, #HealthcareAdvancement, #DiabetesTreatment, #NovelTherapies, #GlobalHealth, #AustralianPharma, #InfectiousDiseases, #DFITreatment, #RNDRebate, #RegulatoryApproval, #MedicalResearch, #HealthInnovation, #PharmaNews
Recce Pharmaceuticals Ltd (ASX: RCE, FSE: R9Q) CEO James Graham joins Proactive's Tylah Tully to discuss the ethics approval the company has received for a Phase 3 Clinical Trial of RECCE® 327. Recce has received Human Research Ethics Committee approval has been received to begin dosing in Indonesia for a Registrational Phase 3 clinical trial for its RECCE® 327 (R327G) topical gel, designed to treat diabetic foot infections (DFIs). The large-scale, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial, set to commence in mid-December, will involve up to 300 patients across Indonesia, with a 12-month study period. Results are anticipated by late 2025, with regulatory approval and commercial launch aimed for H1 2026. The trial, supported by the Australian and Indonesian governments and facilitated by PT Etana Biotechnologies, represents a critical step in bringing R327G to market. With an estimated cost of US$2 million, the trial will benefit from Australia's R&D rebate scheme, reducing financial strain. Approval from BPOM, Indonesia's food and drug authority, is expected soon. The trial capitalises on Indonesia's high diabetes prevalence and growing antimicrobial resistance needs. Approval in Indonesia could pave the way for further regulatory acceptance across ASEAN countries. Initial trials in Australia showed a 100% patient response rate, underscoring the potential of R327G to address severe infections in diabetic foot ulcers. Recce has also reported significant progress in its Phase II clinical trial for R327G to treat Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections (ABSSSI). With 20 of the 30 patients now dosed, the trial shows promising results, as all dosed patients have met the primary endpoints of either a cure or marked improvement without any Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) reported. The trial is set for completion by the end of 2024, reinforcing the potential of R327G in addressing critical unmet needs in bacterial infection treatment. The product's development trajectory is strengthened by previous regulatory endorsements and encouraging interim data, indicating a strong efficacy and safety profile. #ProactiveInvestors #ReccePharmaceuticals #ASX #DiabeticFootInfections #RECCE327 #Phase3Trial #EthicsApproval #Indonesia #ClinicalTrials #DiabetesTreatment #AntiInfective #HealthcareInnovation #Biotechnology #Diabetes #ASEAN #RDEntitlement #InfectionPrevention #MedicalResearch #DFI #TopicalGel #IndonesianHealth #BiotechIndustry
Paul Gullon-Scott BSc MA MSc MSc FMBPSS joins the Forensic Focus Podcast to discuss the mental health challenges faced by digital forensic investigators (DFIs), particularly in relation to secondary traumatic stress (STS). He explains how exposure to distressing content, such as child sexual abuse material (CSAM), can lead to burnout, anxiety, and depression. Drawing on his many years of experience in digital forensics and research, Paul highlights the lack of UK-specific studies in this area and shares his development of a well-being framework aimed at reducing the mental health toll on DFIs. This framework includes a grading policy and a well-being booklet designed to help investigators recognize stress symptoms in themselves and others, while reducing their exposure to traumatic material. Paul also touches on his recent research into the role of neurodiversity in digital forensics and the importance of adapting mental health support to neurodiverse individuals in the profession. 00:00 – Introducing Paul Gullon-Scott Bsc MA MSc MSc FMBPSS and his Research into DFI Mental Health 07:20 – Impact of CPS Guidelines on DFIs 10:30 – Research Findings on Secondary Traumatic Stress 22:40 – Gender and Age Differences in Stress Response 30:50 – Support Systems and Coping Strategies 46:00 – Neurodiversity in Digital Forensics 52:50 – Conclusion and Final Thoughts If you have been affected by any of the issues raised in this episode, these organisations may be of help: Samaritans – https://www.samaritans.org Mind – https://www.mind.org.uk Oscar Kilo – https://www.oscarkilo.org.uk/ Occupational health unit (OHU) – all police forces have access to an OHU providing a range of support services Employee Assistance Scheme (EAS) – check with your employer to see what specific resources are available to you GP – your GP can provide access to various local resources and make referrals to psychological support services

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Tuesday, July 16, 2024. My name is Nelson John. Let's get started:The Indian market's benchmark indices —Nifty and Sensex—inched up during Monday's trading session to settle at fresh closing highs. The Indian government is exploring an exciting proposal: getting public sector banks to take equity stakes in state-owned specialized infrastructure financiers. The spotlight is on the National Bank for Financing Infrastructure and Development. This plan is part of a broader effort to supercharge India's infrastructure development, which is already set for a massive investment boost. In fact, the 2024 interim budget has earmarked a hefty 11.1 trillion rupees for capital expenditures, a solid 11.1% jump from last year. Mint's Mihir Mishra and Shayan Ghosh report on the plan that focuses on increasing the capital base of DFIs to 1 trillion rupees, utilizing contributions from banks with robust capital adequacy ratios.Macquarie Group, JSW Group, and Actis have thrown their hats in the ring to acquire Gurugram-based renewable energy platform O2 Power. The companies have even signed a non-disclosure agreement. Mint's economy and policy reporter Utpal Bhaskar reports that the deal, managed by Barclays, is set to potentially value O2 Power at around 1 billion dollars in equity with an enterprise value of about 1.5 billion dollars. O2 Power, counts EQT and Temasek as major investments. The company is eyeing an ambitious expansion to reach a capacity of 5 gigawatts; it's already close, with a current capacity of 4 gigawatts. The acquisition deal is poised to be a landmark in the renewable energy sector, reflecting growing interest in sustainable investments.Kota's coaching centres, once the epicentre for competitive exam preparation, are seeing a notable shift in their student base. With new branches opening in cities like Patna, New Delhi, and Latur, these centres are attracting local students who would have traditionally travelled to Kota. This shift is reshaping the coaching landscape, leading to reduced enrollments in Kota itself and impacting the city's once-thriving educational ecosystem. Mint's Mansi Verma spoke to faculty members across various institutes, including Allen Career Institute. Representatives from Allen highlighted that while Kota is dealing with salary cuts due to fewer students, new centres in other cities are booming.Did you buy a flat in a stressed real estate project and are now waiting for the possession? Thousands in Delhi-NCR bought units in projects across the region around the turn of the last decade - only to find their investments stuck in limbo. While the Supreme Court intervened in 2019, asking state-owned construction corporation NBCC to take over the construction at Amrapali Group's Noida projects, involving 38,000 units, the stressed project landscape otherwise looks very rocky. In 2023, the Indian Banks' Association (IBA) reported that about 412,000 residential units, valued at 4.08 trillion rupees, were affected by halted real estate projects across India. Over half of these, approximately 240,000 units, are located in the national capital region. Additionally, more than 100,000 units are in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, with significant numbers also reported in Pune, Bengaluru, and other major cities. In a detailed investigation of the troubled real estate market, Mint's Madhurima Nandy explores the protracted delays that have left many homebuyers waiting for years to receive possession of their homes.The government is considering a significant investment of 4.5 trillion rupees over the next five years to construct 23.5 million rural homes under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Gramin. The allocation targets 20 million new rural houses in addition to completing 3.5 million homes from the previous phase of the scheme. Mint's Puja Das reports that the officials have outlined a phased approach, aiming to complete 4 million houses by the end of FY24, 8 million by FY26, and the remainder by FY29. The proposed funding of about 4.5 trillion rupees includes contributions from both the central and state governments, with the central government providing about 2.9 trillion rupees.We'd love to hear your feedback on this podcast.

Chapitrage et résumé Vicky Brisson (01:54)Tout récemment, Jefo a fêté son 40ᵉ anniversaire. Pouvez-vous nous raconter les débuts de Jefo ?Jean FontaineÇa prend un petit peu de temps à expliquer tout ça, mais les débuts étaient très modestes. J'ai commencé à 25 ans avec le choix de faire faillite ou de commencer à faire de l'argent. Dans le domaine des luminaires, c'était le bicarbonate de soude qui était granulaire contre les Américains qui avaient le monopole du marché. Donc on a commencé modestement dans une maison avec un appartement qu'on a modifié avec des bureaux. Aujourd'hui, on a le campus Jefo à Saint-Hyacinthe et c'est un centre d'information. Jefo a commencé au Québec, ensuite en Ontario, après le reste du Canada et le marché mondial. Le petit pas, c'était la bonne technologie pour grandir sans s'enfarger. […]Vicky Brisson (03:06)La culture de Jefo est centrée sur «Life made easier» ou «La vie ne plus facile». Qu'est-ce qui a inspiré cette mission et est-ce que vous pouvez nous donner quelques exemples de la manière dont vous et vos employés incarnez cette déclaration ?Jean FontaineLa vie est plus facile, ça résumait l'approvisionnement plus facile avec différents fournisseurs. L'entreposage pour les produits, on dit en anglais «Just in time», l'approvisionnement spontané; il y a tout chez nous. Et, avec la recherche, on rend la vie plus facile aux chercheurs parce qu'on a rassemblé plusieurs marchés différents avec le même objectif de faire plus avec moins. Donc, ça a été ça qui fait le slogan «La vie en plus facile» la première fois et depuis tout le monde accepte que c'est vraiment ce qu'on fait.Vicky Brisson (4:31)Avec l'arrivée de l'intelligence artificielle, quels sont les principaux défis que les producteurs devront relever ? À votre avis, quelles seront les principales caractéristiques de ceux qui vont réussir à s'adapter ?Jean FontaineS'adapter. S'adapter au changement. Vous savez que la plus grande crainte des gens c'est de changer. Donc, l'agriculteur et l'agricultrice vont apprendre à mieux mesurer ce qu'ils font. Avoir accès à leurs données, que ce soit la température, la qualité des fourrages, tout ça grâce au système d'intelligence artificielle. Ils vont être capables d'avoir une plus grande précision. Et quand on peut mesurer ce qu'on fait, on peut l'améliorer. Sans mesure, c'est très difficile de s'améliorer. Donc, c'est une voie que personne ne peut éviter. […]Vicky Brisson (05:36)Depuis plus de 20 ans, vous apportez des innovations à l'industrie de l'alimentation animale avec la technologie Jefo Matrix. Est-ce que vous pouvez nous expliquer pourquoi c'est important de micro-encapsuler les nutriments ?Jean FontaineC'est un concept. Si on se rapporte au tout début, quand j'ai commencé en 88 à vendre des acides organiques enrobés pour compétitionner les facteurs de croissance chez le porc, on s'est moqué de moi. Aujourd'hui, le monde des médicaments a beaucoup baissé. Les additifs alimentaires qu'on donne chaque jour pour moduler la flore intestinale […] sont de moins en moins à la mode, puis même à certains endroits, ils sont bannis. Avec la technologie de matrice que nous avons, on prévient le bris de nos molécules, de nos nutriments avant d'arriver à l'intestin où ils sont absorbés […].Sauf que nous avons découvert qu'en enrobant avec des matières grasses 100 % végétales, on vient qu'on traverse le rumen à 85 % et on relâche lentement avec la lipase qui brise le gras les nutriments qui sont bénéfiques pour la vache laitière ou le bœuf. Dans la volaille, la même chose s'applique. On va résister au PH acide, au phytate, au calcium, au soufre qui vont venir lier les différents nutriments et les rendre indigestes à l'intestin. […]Vicky Brisson (09:27)Vous observez depuis plus de 20 ans l'impact de la nutrition de précision sur les animaux. Est-ce que vous pouvez résumer pour nos auditeurs quelles sont les principales observations que vous avez pour ces animaux ?Jean FontainePremière chose qu'on peut voir, c'est l'efficacité digestive. […] La principale raison pour laquelle nos jeunes hommes et jeunes femmes quittent les fermes, ce sont les problèmes liés au vêlage. Donc, quand une vache va vêler, les gens préviennent avec différents traitements qu'ils ont appris à faire parce qu'il n'y avait pas la technologie que nous avons aujourd'hui. […]Avec notre approche de précision intestinale, on livre ça tout ensemble ces fameux coenzymes, ces cofacteurs d'enzymes et les oligo-éléments. […]Vicky Brisson (11:15)En tant que visionnaire dans ce domaine, quelle est, selon vous, votre contribution au monde des vaches laitières ?Jean Fontaine Si on réussit à améliorer le vêlage et à avoir une vache qui va pouvoir faire plusieurs lactations consécutives parce qu'elle a une meilleure santé générale causée par cette nutrition de précision. Je pense que nos éleveurs gagnent beaucoup. […]Vicky Brisson (12:23)Vous avez créé avec succès une entreprise familiale. Pourriez-vous nous expliquer comment vous avez favorisé la collaboration et l'harmonie entre les membres de la famille tout en bâtissant une entreprise prospère ?Jean FontaineÇa c'est une bonne question. Parce que pourquoi les enfants s'intéressent à ce que j'ai construit ? C'est qu'ils ont compris que j'avais du plaisir à faire ce que je fais. On peut guider les gens par l'exemple. Les enfants ont vu que j'avais du plaisir à recevoir des gens, à visiter des gens, se créer un réseau d'amitié à travers le monde. Parce qu'on a l'avantage dans notre industrie de vendre ou de fournir des produits et des conseils toutes les semaines, tous les mois. Nous, dans notre industrie, on établit la proximité. Chez Jefo, on aime recevoir les gens. Ici, au campus et même chez moi, on a développé cette amitié de proximité avec les clients, les fournisseurs. C'est important. Si tu n'as rien à vendre, tu n'as pas de produit à vendre, ce n'est pas bon. D'avoir des fournisseurs, mais pas de clients, c'est pareil. Donc, tout est relié ensemble. Mais je crois que mes trois enfants, Émilie, Jean-François et Anthony ont su apprécier ceci de mes 40 ans de vie d'affaires. Et aujourd'hui, ils vont prendre le relais. […]Vicky Brisson (18:07)Pour conclure, pouvez-vous nous faire part du message que vous souhaitez transmettre à la prochaine génération d'entrepreneurs de l'industrie ?Jean FontaineLa plus belle chose que je peux leur suggérer, c'est de ne pas avoir peur du changement. […]Le changement qui s'en vient va être impressionnant. Certaines personnes ont peur du mot : intelligence artificielle. Elle est là pour nous aider. Il faut accepter le changement et oser.

Today's guest is Emily McAteer, co-founder and CEO of Odyssey Energy Solutions, helping emerging market project developers to finance, build and operate distributed renewable energy at scale. How the Global South modernizes is the original climate justice debate that has been a key topic of global policy discussions for decades, going back to the Kyoto Protocol of the 1990s and even earlier. The crux of the conversation is that climate change has primarily been caused by the 20th century economic development of the United States, Western Europe, Japan, et cetera. And if the rest of the world were to follow the same fossil fuel enabled development path, we'd rapidly blow past emissions targets and into the worst possible climate change outcomes. So what's the rest of the world to do?The answer seems to be to leapfrog, to modernize via a network of distributed renewable energy technology as opposed to a monolithic fossil fuel-powered grid. And yet that also introduces a whole new host of questions. Emily's been working at the nexus of climate and emerging markets for just about her whole career and brings a wealth of experience into Odyssey while working on answering these questions. In this episode, Cody and Emily have a great conversation about energy access in emerging markets today, what new distributed grids will look like, how development finance institutions (DFIs) work and the role of nation states in securing financing for energy projects. We also cover how Odyssey is bringing financing, procurement, and operational solutions to market to solve the local problems inherent in this space. Emily and Odyssey just announced a seed round led by Equal Ventures that we at MCJ Collective were honored to participate in. So we're welcoming Emily today as an MCJ Collective portfolio CEO, as well as an MCJ podcast guest. Enjoy the show!

In this podcast, Bridgett Majola, partner at award winning law firm CMS, engages in an enlightening discussion on the new wave of electricity supply, with Africa Legal's Tom Pearson. South Africans frustrated by load shedding will be happy to hear that the legal experts at CMS are doing all they can to ensure the energy crisis in the country becomes a thing of the past. The foremost law firm helped bring to financial close two private solar energy deals that will pave the way for a more reliable supply of electricity. The deal comes on the back of the new energy regulatory environment that lifted the licence limit for electricity distribution generation. Bridgett Majola, together with her dynamic team in the Banking and Finance Department at CMS, advised the Development Bank of South Africa, as an equity player, to secure two independent power-producing projects, the first of their kind in South Africa. Majola told Tom that this was a significant move in that it allowed for private individuals to build their own power supply. Mining companies of different commodities have shown interest as well, she said. “There are lots of people trying to take advantage of the fact that there's an opportunity for them to take control of their own power supply.” Development Finance Institutions (DFIs) are among those who are seizing the opportunities. Majola said financing for the power plants was quite competitive and DFIs were participating more formally rather than just providing significant funding. “They have set structures and different funds within their own divisions to be responsible for the implementation of either focusing on the infrastructure or scaling it up.” She added that DFIs were also looking into other jurisdictions such as Zambia, Ghana, Nigeria and Mozambique. “I think they're always looking at opportunities to support different countries in different ways, whether it's from an infrastructure perspective or from a power generation, transmission or distribution perspective.” Shifting the conversation towards the project financing landscape, Majola said there was a lot of involvement at fund level, with commercial banks also added to the mix when it came to infrastructure development.
In this episode, we'll unpack the role of DFIs in the African Venture Capital space and some of the challenges they encounter with Babacar Seck, Senior Investment Officer, Private Equity & Venture Capital, Proparco and Future Africa's Investor Success Partner, Caleb Zipperstein. Babacar Seck is an investor and business advisor passionate about projects that drive inclusive development, from education to healthcare and financial services. As a senior investment professional at Proparco, he currently focuses on designing and deploying a €200m Venture Capital program (equity, debt, funds, grants) to fund and support African entrepreneurs while also managing a global investment portfolio of financial institutions. Invest In The Future is a live fireside chat series by Future Africa where we learn from interesting people doing important work globally. The Fund for Africa's Future backs mission-driven founders turning Africa's biggest challenges into global businesses that deliver outsized returns and impact.

If you are someone looking to invest or already have invested and are wondering if you made a safe trade, we have a show for you.

Over the last thirty years, in many developing economies, poverty has fallen, people live longer and healthier lives, and economies have been transformed. But this is not the case across the board. In his new book, “Gambling on Development: Why some countries win and others lose”, former Chief Economist at the Department for International Development, and Policy Advisor to the Foreign Secretary, Stefan Dercon, asks why some of the previously poorest countries have prospered, while others have failed. He argues that development is most likely to happen when a country's elites want it to happen – what he calls a ‘development bargain'. In this conversation with Stefan, we explore the implications of this thesis for the role of impact investors, including development finance institutions (DFIs), in fragile and conflict-affected countries. For example, the track record of DFIs in fragile states is mixed. Should DFIs focus on countries where a ‘development bargain' looks likely? This conversation is chaired by British International Investment's Colin Buckley, Managing Director and General Counsel. Additional links: Watch a recording of this event here.

The ability to absorb risk and be truly ‘additional' in the world of impact investing sets development finance institutions apart from markets. Listen to Jason Mitchell discuss with Nick O'Donohoe, CEO of CDC Group, on how institutions are providing much-needed liquidity and capital during the pandemic and why investor action on climate and the Sustainable Development Goals (‘SDGs') is vital to advancing the development agenda. In this far-reaching episode, Nick discusses the roots of impact investing, the popularisation of impact investing and the SDGs, the dearth of venture capital that's needed to support young entrepreneurs and digital businesses, and how DFIs can move towards higher risk projects.
