What does the US dollar have to do with energy access in Africa?
Mark Blyth explains why countries are so keen to cut back their US dollar dependence; and how that’s connected to the way they get energy. Also, why Germany is afraid of Chinese EVs. And we talk to Adjekai Adjei about how these constraints actually play out in the African continent.
Guests:
- Mark Blyth, professor of international economics at Brown University.
- Dr Naa Adjekai Adjei, an expert in Chinese energy projects in Africa and non-resident fellow, Africa, at the China Global South Project.
