UPDATE 1-Foreign investment in Tunisia up 73% in first quarter
08/05/2022 15:21 - RSF
(Adds details)
May 8 (Reuters) - Foreign investments in Tunisia rose by 73% in the first three months of 2022 compared to the same period a year earlier, the Foreign Investment Promotion Agency reported, according to Tunisia's state news agency.

The European Union said in March it planned to lend 450 million euros ($475 million) to support Tunisia's budget and said it would invest 4 billion euros in coming years.

The North African country has been seeking international help to support its strained public finances.

Listen other's viewpoint avoid conflicts & wars.
London and Geneva, 9 May 2022 – Lithium processing company Green Lithium has agreed terms with Trafigura, one of the world’s largest commodities trading companies, that will support the development of one of the first centralised commercial lithium refineries in Europe. The new refinery will supply European electric vehicle and battery manufacturers with battery-grade lithium chemicals. Under the newly-established relationship, Trafigura plans to supply lithium feedstock required for the planned UK-based refinery and invest equity in Green Lithium’s development phase funding round.
Trafigura is an established leading participant in the international nickel and cobalt trading markets. It continues to invest significant resources to diversify and develop its business across other battery metal commodities, strengthening its position as a leader in the global battery and electric vehicle value chain. Given the importance lithium plays in the supply chain – and, more broadly, in the transition to a decarbonised, greener economy – an agreement with Green Lithium represents a milestone for Trafigura’s international battery metals business.
It is forecast that the growing demand for battery-grade lithium chemicals will not be met by global refining capacity that is currently available or planned. Increasing and diversifying supply will be vital for the commercial viability of the European battery supply chain and, therefore, the electric vehicle revolution and transition to net zero.

KKR's doubts complicate TIM's single-network talks with CDP, sources say
09/05/2022 15:05 RSF
By Elvira Pollina and Giuseppe Fonte
MILAN, May 9 (Reuters) - KKR has expressed reservations about a plan by Telecom Italia (TIM) (TIT.MI) to merge its network, which is partly owned by the U.S. fund, with that of state-backed rival Open Fiber, two sources close to the matter said.

KKR in 2020 spent 1.8 billion euros ($1.9 billion) for a 37.5% stake in TIM's last-mile grid unit FiberCop, and has the power to veto any accord that is not value-accretive for FiberCop.

FiberCop, holding cables that run from street cabinet to users' homes, would be included in any combined network entity with Open Fiber.

TIM last month started formal talks with state investor CDP over the single network project, but an initial April 30 deadline has passed without a preliminary agreement. CDP owns 10% of TIM and 60% of Open Fiber.

TIM CEO Pietro Labriola last week said he was confident that an accord was within reach.

Complicating discussions, the sources said KKR had asked for guarantees over the economic returns of any single network deal before giving its backing.

KKR and TIM declined to comment.

After rebuffing a takeover approach from KKR, TIM is pushing ahead with plans to split its domestic network from its service businesses.

Under the scheme, TIM would relinquish control of Italy's biggest telecoms network in favour of state lender CDP, making the state lender the main shareholder in any network combination between TIM and Open Fiber.

KKR is concerned about the impact of antitrust remedies that EU competition authorities could impose to clear a tie-up, potentially reducing expected returns, the sources said.

Rome sees as favourable a deal that would help to upgrade an infrastructure deemed strategic for the country, avoiding a costly duplication of investments.

But the sources said KKR thought that the project did not appear consistent with an EU-funded scheme to boost fibre optic rollout across Italy, or with TIM and Open Fiber standalone investment plans.

TIM and Open Fiber compete in government tenders to secure 3.8 billion euros ($4 billion) in EU recovery funds to ensure the whole of Italy can have 1 gigabyte per second fixed Internet connectivity by 2026.

KKR has also argued that CDP needs to inject cash into any combined network entity in order to have control, one of the sources said. CDP declined to comment.

In a sign of the difficulties that KKR could pose, the U.S.

fund has forced TIM to review the terms of a separate agreement that would give Open Fiber access to TIM's infrastructure and help the rival complete fibre optic rollout plans in remote areas, another source said.($1 = 0.9514 euros)
