Critical minerals are required for the manufacturing of electronics, aerospace equipment, medical devices, and renewable energy technologies, making them essential for a country's economic and national security. These materials have been at the center of China's domestic and foreign policy for many decades, and China's ability to integrate internal industrial policies with foreign trade and investment policies has allowed them to gain dominance in the market. Meanwhile, the US has lagged behind China in terms of both access to and processing technology of critical minerals. The country has been heavily dependent on China for its critical minerals and struggles to find an alternative supplier.China's announcement to impose export restrictions on seven rare earth elements on April 4th has opened many conversations surrounding critical minerals, especially regarding the US and its supply chain vulnerabilities. What has China done to achieve their global dominance in the critical minerals sector, and what can the US do to address the overdependence issue they are facing today? To answer these questions and more, host Bonnie Glaser is joined by Gracelin Baskaran, the director of the Critical Minerals Security Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. She is a mining economist whose area of expertise is critical minerals and trade. Timestamps[00:00] Start[02:13] US Dependencies on Rare Earths and Critical Minerals[03:51] Sourcing from Latin America, Africa, and Asia[06:28] Environmental Harm from Mining and Processing[08:11] Deliberate Suppression of the Price of Rare Earths in the Market[11:06] Chinese Exports Restrictions on Seven Rare Earth Elements[14:08] US Administrations' Approaches to Critical Minerals Vulnerability[20:02] 2010 Fishing Boat Accident and Japan's Response [24:00] What might China do moving forward? [27:42] Timeframe for the US to Catch Up to China

The Global Impact of US Economic Policies The international economic policies of the United States have shifted dramatically since the inauguration of Donald Trump as president at the end of January. Thus far, the most impactful have been a series of historically large tariff announcements on most countries in the world. Former US Treasury Economist, Brad Setser examines these policy changes and their implications for the US economy, global trade and investment flows, financial markets, and the role of the dollar as the world's reserve currency. He also discusses his work on US corporate tax strategies. Brad Setser is the Whitney Shepardson Senior Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations. Mr Setser served as a Senior Advisor to the United States Trade Representative from 2021 to 2022, where he worked on the resolution of a number of trade disputes. He had previously served as the Deputy Assistant Secretary for International Economic Analysis in the U.S. Treasury from 2011 to 2015, and as a Director for International Economics on the staff of the National Economic Council and the National Security Council. He has published widely, including co-authoring, with Nouriel Roubini, Bailouts and Bail-ins: Responding to Financial Crises in Emerging Economies, and has contributed to publications such as Foreign Affairs, Finance and Development and Global Governance.

Critical thinking, critical issues
Mobilising institutional investment towards emerging economies - in conversation with British International Investment

Critical thinking, critical issues

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.

The climate emergency is having a devastating impact on emerging economies. Without decisive action, this will only become more severe as global temperatures rise and as countries transition toward net zero. Emerging economies are among the nations most exposed to and the least prepared for the effects of climate change. This is particularly the case across Africa, South and South-East Asia, and the Caribbean, where we invest. In this episode of the IMPACT= Podcast, we explore how the climate crisis is affecting businesses in emerging economies through the lens of our Emerging Economies Climate Report. We recently launched the report at an event with a panel of expert speakers to dig deeper into the findings, and explore how we can address climate risks and maximise opportunities in emerging economies. In this podcast, we cover some of the key contributions from our speakers: Amal-Lee Amin, Managing Director, Head of Climate, Diversity and Advisory, British International Investment Michael Jacobs, Visiting Senior Fellow, ODI Nicola Mustetea, Director, Head of Climate Change, British International Investment Shivanand Nimbargi, Chief Executive Officer, Ayana Renewable Power Benjamin Njenga, Co-Founder and Chief Customer Officer, Apollo Agriculture Nick Robins, Professor of Sustainable Finance, Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment

In 2001, Goldman Sachs economist Jim O'Neill coined the term “BRIC” to describe the fast-growing economies that he predicted would collectively dominate the global economy by 2050. The BRIC countries he was referring to were Brazil, Russia, India, and China. After a series of high-level meetings that included officials from the four countries, the BRIC grouping was founded in 2009. The following year, South Africa joined, and the name became “BRICS”. Last month, the fifteenth BRICS summit was held in Johannesburg. In addition to the leaders of the five core countries, representatives from more than 60 countries attended, and six were officially invited to join the club: Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.How does the BRICS serve China's foreign policy objectives? And is this expansion a major win for Xi Jinping? Is BRICS likely to become a global grouping of authoritarian countries that poses a challenge to the G-7 group of democracies – and is that what Beijing wants? To discuss these topics and more, host Bonnie Glaser is joined by Colleen Cottle, deputy director of the Atlantic Council's Global China Hub. Prior to joining the Atlantic Council, she spent over a dozen years at the Central Intelligence Agency where she worked on East and South Asia.  Timestamps[01:45] What has BRICS achieved? [05:33] China Driving the BRICS Agenda[08:35] Where does BRICS fit into China's foreign policy agenda? [10:53] Why has BRICS refrained from endorsing BRI?[12:53] Outcomes of Johannesburg Summit[15:18] Criteria for Expanding BRICS Membership[18:19] Potential for BRICS Disrupting the International Order[23:52] China as a Developing Country[26:56] Will we see any breakthroughs with BRICS?
