Business / Trade by Maltaafrica: 12:53pm On Jan 22, 2021
Trade
Trade is a basic economic concept involving the buying and selling of goods and services, with compensation paid by a buyer to a seller, or the exchange of goods or services between parties. Trade can take place within an economy between producers and consumers. International trade allows countries to expand markets for both goods and services that otherwise may not have been available to it. It is the reason why an American consumer can pick between a Japanese, German, or American car. As a result of international trade, the market contains greater competition and therefore, more competitive prices, which brings a cheaper product home to the consumer.

In financial markets, trading refers to the buying and selling of securities, such as the purchase of stock on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). For more on this kind of trade, please see the entry on 'what is an order?'

How Trade Works

Trade broadly refers to transactions ranging in complexity from the exchange of baseball cards between collectors to multinational policies setting protocols for imports and exports between countries. Regardless of the complexity of the transaction, trading is facilitated through three primary types of exchanges.

Trading globally between nations allows consumers and countries to be exposed to goods and services not available in their own countries. Almost every kind of product can be found on the international market: food, clothes, spare parts, oil, jewelry, wine, stocks, currencies, and water. Services are also traded: tourism, banking, consulting, and transportation. A product that is sold to the global market is an export, and a product that is bought from the global market is an import. Imports and exports are accounted for in a country's current account in the balance of payments.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

* Trade broadly refers to exchanging goods and services, most often in return for money.

* Trade may take place within a country, or between trading nations. For international trade, the theory of comparative advantage predicts that trade is beneficial to all parties, although critics argue that in reality it leads to stratification among countries.

* Economists advocate for free trade between nations, but protectionism such as tariffs may present themselves due to political motives, for instance with 'trade wars'.

Free Trade Vs. Protectionism

As with other theories, there are opposing views. International trade has two contrasting views regarding the level of control placed on trade: free trade and protectionism. Free trade is the simpler of the two theories: a laissez-faire approach, with no restrictions on trade. The main idea is that supply and demand factors, operating on a global scale, will ensure that production happens efficiently. Therefore, nothing needs to be done to protect or promote trade and growth because market forces will do so automatically.

In contrast, protectionism holds that regulation of international trade is important to ensure that markets function properly. Advocates of this theory believe that market inefficiencies may hamper the benefits of international trade, and they aim to guide the market accordingly. Protectionism exists in many different forms, but the most common are tariffs, subsidies, and quotas. These strategies attempt to correct any inefficiency in the international market.

Investment / Investment by Maltaafrica: 9:25am On Jan 22, 2021
What Is an Investment?
An investment is an asset or item acquired with the goal of generating income or appreciation. Appreciation refers to an increase in the value of an asset over time. When an individual purchases a good as an investment, the intent is not to consume the good but rather to use it in the future to create wealth. An investment always concerns the outlay of some asset today—time, money, or effort—in hopes of a greater payoff in the future than what was originally put in.

For example, an investor may purchase a monetary asset now with the idea that the asset will provide income in the future or will later be sold at a higher price for a profit.

Key Takeaways

* An investment is an asset or item that is purchased with the hope that it will generate income or appreciate in value at some point in the future.
* An investment always concerns the outlay of some asset today (time, money, effort, etc.) in hopes of a greater payoff in the future than what was originally put in.
* An investment can refer to any mechanism used for generating future income, including bonds, stocks, real estate property, or a business, among other examples.
How an Investment Works
The act of investing has the goal of generating income and increasing value over time. An investment can refer to any mechanism used for generating future income. This includes the purchase of bonds, stocks, or real estate property, among other examples. Additionally, purchasing a property that can be used to produce goods can be considered an investment.

In general, any action that is taken in the hopes of raising future revenue can also be considered an investment. For example, when choosing to pursue additional education, the goal is often to increase knowledge and improve skills (in the hopes of ultimately producing more income).

Because investing is oriented toward the potential for future growth or income, there is always a certain level of risk associated with an investment. An investment may not generate any income, or may actually lose value over time. For example, it's also a possibility that you will invest in a company that ends up going bankrupt or a project that fails to materialize. This is the primary way that saving can be differentiated from investing: saving is accumulating money for future use and entails no risk, whereas investment is the act of leveraging money for a potential future gain and it entails some risk.
Types of Investments
Economic Investments
Within a country or a nation, economic growth is related to investments. When companies and other entities engage in sound business investment practices, it typically results in economic growth.

For example, if an entity is engaged in the production of goods, it may manufacture or acquire a new piece of equipment that allows it to produce more goods in a shorter period of time. This would raise the total output of goods for the business. Taken in combination with the activities of many other entities, this increase in production could cause the nation’s gross domestic product (GDP) to rise.

Investment Vehicles
An investment bank provides a variety of services to individuals and businesses, including many services that are designed to assist individuals and businesses in the process of increasing their wealth.

Investment banking may also refer to a specific division of banking related to the creation of capital for other companies, governments, and other entities. Investment banks underwrite new debt and equity securities for all types of corporations, aid in the sale of securities, and help to facilitate mergers and acquisitions, reorganizations, and broker trades for both institutions and private investors. Investment banks may also provide guidance to companies who are considering issuing shares publicly for the first time, such as with an initial public offering (IPO).

Investing vs. Speculation
Speculation is a distinct activity from investing. Investing involves the purchase of assets with the intent of holding them for the long-term, while speculation involves attempting to capitalize on market inefficiencies for short-term profit. Ownership is generally not a goal of speculators, while investors often look to build the number of assets in their portfolios over time.

Although speculators are often making informed decisions, speculation cannot usually be categorized as traditional investing. Speculation is generally considered a higher risk activity than traditional investing (although this can vary depending on the type of investment involved). Some experts compare speculation to gambling, but the veracity of this analogy may be a matter of personal opinion.

Business / Bilateral Trade by Maltaafrica: 11:05am On Jan 21, 2021
What Is Bilateral Trade?
Bilateral trade is the exchange of goods between two nations promoting trade and investment. The two countries will reduce or eliminate tariffs, import quotas, export restraints, and other trade barriers to encourage trade and investment.

In the United States, the Office of Bilateral Trade Affairs minimizes trade deficits through negotiating free trade agreements with new countries, supporting and improving existing trade agreements, promoting economic development abroad, and other actions.

Key Takeaways
* Bilateral trade agreements are agreements between countries to promote trade and commerce.
* They eliminate trade barriers such as tariffs, import quotas, and export restraints in order to encourage trade and investment.
* The main advantage of bilateral trade agreements is an expansion of the market for a country's goods through concerted negotiation between two countries.
* Bilateral trade agreements can also result in the closing down of smaller companies unable to compete with large multinational corporations.
Understanding Bilateral Trade
The goals of bilateral trade agreements are to expand access between two countries’ markets and increase their economic growth. Standardized business operations in five general areas prevent one country from stealing another’s innovative products, dumping goods at a small cost, or using unfair subsidies. Bilateral trade agreements standardize regulations, labor standards, and environmental protections.
Bilateral trade agreements also expand the market for a country's goods. The United States vigorously pursued free trade agreements with a number of countries under the Bush administration during the early 2000s

In addition to creating a market for U.S. goods, the expansion helped spread the mantra of trade liberalization and encouraged open borders for trade. However, bilateral trade agreements can skew a country's markets when large multinational corporations, which have significant capital and resources to operate at scale, enter a market dominated by smaller players. As a result, the latter might need to close shop when they are competed out of existence.
Examples of Bilateral Trade
In October 2014, the United States and Brazil settled a longstanding cotton dispute in the World Trade Organization (WTO).  Brazil terminated the case, relinquishing its rights to countermeasures against U.S. trade or further proceedings in the dispute.
Brazil also agreed to not bring new WTO actions against U.S. cotton support programs while the current U.S. Farm Bill was in force, or against agricultural export credit guarantees under the GSM program. Because of the agreement, American businesses were no longer subject to countermeasures such as increased tariffs totaling hundreds of millions of dollars annually.
In March 2016, the U.S. government and the government of Peru reached an agreement removing barriers for U.S. beef exports to Peru that had been in effect since 2003
The agreement opened one of the fastest-growing markets in Latin America. In 2015, the United States exported $25.4 million in beef and beef products to Peru. Removal of Peru’s certification requirements, known as the export verification program, assured American ranchers expanded market access.
The agreement reflected the U.S. negligible risk classification for bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) by the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE).
The United States and Peru agreed to amendments in certification statements making beef and beef products from federally inspected U.S. establishments eligible for export to Peru, rather than just beef and beef products from establishments participating in the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) Export Verification (EV) programs under previous certification requirements.

Globe Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Partnership with Government of England will be organizing the United Kingdom - Africa Economic and Investment Forum.....


United Kingdom's political interest in Africa has been greatly revived and England is viewing Africa as a realm of opportunities where a number of economies are developing very fast and the African middle class is experiencing rapid growth. The determining factors for Trade and Investment flows are beginning to change.

The United Kingdom - Africa Economic Forum is going to serve as a platform or new instrument to promote Investment in Africa. African states needs to implement reforms to improve the environment for investment and also encourage private investors to engage more strongly in Africa.

Also it will create an enabling environment for initiatives in the area of development and Trade between both continents.

This forum will be of mutual benefit to both continents because it will also help United Kingdom to strengthen its position in Africa, a continent with strong economic growth in many regions and rapidly growing population (middle class). Africa is set to play a large economy and political role in the world.

Investment / United Kingdom Africa Economic And Investment Forum by Maltaafrica: 10:16am On Jan 20, 2021
In the second half of the twentieth century, the lives of Europeans were transformed almost beyond recognition.


In 1950, many of the continent’s residents heated their homes with coal, cooled their food with ice, and lacked even rudimentary forms of indoor plumbing. Today, their lives are eased and enriched by natural-gas furnaces, electric refrigerators, and an array of electronic gadgets that boggles the mind. Gross domestic product per capital, what the income of a typical resident of Europe will buy, tripled in the second half of the twentieth century. The quality of life improved even more than suggested by this...
If trade was one of the engines of Europe’s growth in the 1950s, investment was the other. New technology, to be commercialized, had to be embodied in plant and equipment, which in turn required investment. Investment rates, including housing and infrastructure, ran more than one-quarter above those of the interwar years. Governments kept interest rates low and regulated the financial system to channel resources toward capital formation.

But countries varied enormously in the efficiency with which they deployed this additional capital. In Belgium the efficiency of investment was depressed by government programs that channeled resources into declining industries.

Although World War II was immensely destructive, its impact on productive capacity was surprisingly limited. To be sure, there was substantial destruction of transportation infrastructure, housing, power-generating capacity, and industrial equipment. But where roads and bridges had been damaged, they could be repaired quickly. The same was true of industrial capacity and power generation. The speed with which physical damage could be repaired was a lesson of the Allied experience with strategic bombing, the impact of which on enemy war production had been less than anticipated. The aggregate numbers suggest that Europe’s productive capital stock was roughly the same.

Growth accelerated again in the 1960s. Output per employed person rose at more than 4 percent per year in Western Europe, up from 3.6 percent in the 1950s. The growth of exports was sustained by the advent of the Common Market and the Kennedy Round of GATT negotiations. Investment rates also rose further. Although Europe’s investment was more than fully financed by its own savings, the continent was also on the receiving end of foreign direct investment (FDI) from the United States. This FDI was a conduit for the transfer of advanced technology to sectors such as chemicals, computers, and Machines.

Writing the history of the future is harder than writing the history of the past. One manifestation of this is the familiar tendency of futurists to extrapolate trends. Output and productivity growth in the United States having surpassed that in Europe for the last decade, there is a tendency to assume that this gap will persist, leaving the European economy still further behind and creating a crisis for the European model that will ultimately force the continent to remake its institutions along Anglo-Saxon lines.

The relationship between the Governments of Africa and Malta over the years has been mutually beneficial guided by trust, respect and friendly relations.

Although the Africa and Malta business communities have recorded tremendous successes in bi-lateral trade, there is a large trade imbalance in favor of Malta as it exports represent some 80 per cent of the total bilateral trade volumes. This gap needs to be reduced.

Therefore, Malta Africa Economic and Investment Forum is a forum that promotes mutual beneficial relationship in business transactions among Malta and Africa. This is projecting Nigeria not only as a consumer market alone, but as an investment destination where goods can be manufactured and consumed locally.

Europe is one of Africa's largest trading partner and the recent boom in developing countries commerce between Africa and Malta explains the rise of the regional trade......

These trade flows are currently being spearheaded by European Countries who has shown increased appetite for African commodities. Africa too greatly depends on manufactured goods form Germany and UK other countries. As the global market becomes more fused together, a lot is at stake for the economic welfare of those of us in Africa.

South Africa and Nigeria together accounts for over 55 percent of the entire continents economic activities. Africa's exports to Europe have not yet significantly contributed to sustained widespread export diversification whether in trading partners or exports. Although the boom in natural resources exports to Europe is providing short-term benefits, African countries need to strategies to leverage the current export explosion to create opportunities for long-term economic benefits. Recently,Netherland,France and Italy that used to be the highest buyers of Nigeria's Brent crude has dropped as a result of the effects of the Covid19 pandemic in the country.

Twenty years ago, prices for Africa's leading commodity exports have increased significantly. This happened as a result of the rapid growth of Europe's developing countries, Germany and Italy. Also, the desire for manufactured goods from China has also risen significantly because Chinese goods and commodities are more affordable for majority of the middle class Africans as compared to American and European commodities. These demand changes creates important opportunities for Africa's businesses to increase and diversify exports. It has also created an opportunity for African Entrepreneurs to extract more value locally by further processing commodities before exporting them.

The Malta Africa Convention being organized by Globe Chamber of Commerce and Industry will address issues to change the status quo of Africa's export to Europe from petroleum and non-oil minerals to other processed commodities. Currently, Africa's export of oil and natural gas accounts for over 60 percent of its total export, followed by ore and metals. Meanwhile, Africa imports mainly more value added commodities like textiles, electric machinery and equipment, gadgets and consumer products like drugs, cosmetics and lot more.

Also, this convention will help to facilitate improved market access for low-income countries. This can be achieved through the lowering of industrial countries multilateral tariff and non tariff barriers on Africa's product which will in turn increase our exports significantly.

Another issue that will be addressed is the lack of trust, infrastructure, understanding and systems that will handle African risk in Malta and Europe at large based banks.

This convention lastly, will help to bring about the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA)'s which will help Africa to achieve the economic growth that will turn the continent to a successful one and increase the welfare and quality of life of everyone.

Further information and date for the convention will be communicated soon.
