China's Slowing Economy and Africa
What do China's slowing economy and the yuan's devaluation mean for economies in Africa, where the economic boom has been driven by Chinese capital and demand for commodities?
When China's economy sneezes, does Africa catch a cold? We speak to Dr Chris Kirubi, chairman of Kenya's Centum Investment Company, about how worried African businesses and governments are about the slowdown in China's economic growth. Also, Reuters columnist Jeremy Wagstaff wonders whether mobile telephony is as effective as is claimed when it comes to bringing banking services to the unbanked. And the 91热爆's Elizabeth Hotson reports on the competition between Italian prosecco wine and French champagne, and why prosecco sales have topped champagne sales in the UK.
