Minority Chief Whip Frank Annoh-Dompreh has called on African leaders to take advantage of the growing global carbon credit market as a strategic funding alternative amid rising economic restrictions and donor fatigue. Speaking at the Pan-African Parliament on Friday, August 1, he argued that Africa must look inward and get innovative, especially with global financing tightening due to external shocks and policy shifts in key donor countries. “Mister President, in this age of restrictions, at least we can talk about the restrictions coming from the USA with this attendant effect, we should be getting innovative,” the Nsawam Adoagyiri MP said.…

And with a promising outlook across all of its divisions, it seems like this upward trajectory’s set to continue over the long term. Even more so, now that management’s restored dividends, a strong signal of cash flow confidence. So how much money could an investor make over the next 12 months if they bought 500 Rolls-Royce shares today? Let’s take a look at what the experts are predicting.

Image source: Getty Images Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock is up 72% in the past year. Yet in recent months, I’ve seen more concern from some investors about it potentially being overvalued or whether the company can maintain a dominant position in the AI space. But last month, the Nvidia share price popped almost 10%, going some way to silencing recent critics. Here’s what happened. Factors at play One factor was the relaxation of the export ban from the US to China of key H20 chips. This had been in place from earlier this year when tensions with China were running high.…

Image source: Getty Images FTSE 100 shares can be excellent investments to target passive income. With a diversified portfolio of blue-chip stocks, investors can target a large and stable dividend income each and every year, and one that grows over time. Here are two to consider buying for a long-term second income. The reliable dividend grower Like most financial services providers, M&G‘s (LSE:MNG) profits can be sorely tested during economic downturns. When people are tightening their belts, demand for discretionary products and services like asset management, savings and pensions tends to fall. With the UK economy struggling for growth, this…

Image source: Getty Images Barclays‘ (LSE:BARC) shares have been on a phenomenal run of late. In 2025 alone, shareholders have enjoyed a near-40% capital gain. And when zooming out to the last five years, the banking giant’s expanded its market-cap by a whopping 270%! The main driver of this fantastic performance is, of course, higher interest rates. And even as the Bank of England’s been cutting rates, profits have continued to grow. That’s through a combination of financial hedges, higher lending volumes, and superior investment banking performance. As such, Barclays’ shares are now trading at levels not seen since the…

Image source: Getty Images I gave up on the Vodafone (LSE: VOD) share price years ago. Although I was impressed by CEO Margherita Della Valle, who laid out a clear recovery plan after her appointment in April 2023, I felt the stock had struggled for too long to justify buying in. Many investors were drawn to its generous yield. But that was more a result of a collapsing share price than genuine strength. The dividend was cut by 40% in 2019 and 50% this March. For a long time, it felt like throwing good money after bad. Vodafone shares are down 28%…

Image source: Getty Images According to AJ Bell‘s latest buying activity, BP (LSE:BP.) shares continue to be a popular investment in Britain. And with the oil & gas giant offering an impressive 6% dividend yield, it isn’t hard to see why. That’s almost double the payout of the FTSE 100 in 2025, creating what seems to be a highly lucrative passive income opportunity. So how many BP shares do investors need to buy to start earning an extra £1,000 each month? And is this actually a good idea? Crunching the numbers According to the latest analyst forecasts, BP shareholders are…

Image source: Getty Images Even as UK shares reach new all-time highs, there are still plenty of high-yield income shares on offer. And when looking at the smaller players in the energy sector, some of these yields are on the verge of heading into double-digit territory! Normally, such a high payout is a sign to steer clear, driven by a sudden drop in share price and eventually followed by a dividend cut. And yet, even with its yield now approaching 10%, Harbour Energy‘s (LSE:HBR) continues rewarding shareholders. So is this an overlooked income opportunity? Or is there a reason why…
