The Week · 10–14 August 2026
The week the count stopped.
Capital said yes all week. Institutions said wait. The IFC anchored Jumia, Nigeria's presidency put a $20bn Shell number on its new deepwater framework, and the Senate cleared AGOA to 2028. Then Zambia suspended its vote count and reminded every allocator that execution risk, not capital scarcity, is what prices the reform trades.
