Tens of billions of dollars in gold flows illegally out of Africa each year, a new report says
Billons of dollars in gold is smuggled out of Africa each year and most of it ends up in the United Arab Emirates, where it is refined and sold to customers around the world, according to a report published Thursday.

The main destinations for African gold were the United Arab Emirates, Turkey and Switzerland.

Greece Goes Green, but Bets on U.S. Gas for the Neighbors
ALEXANDROPOULIS, Greece — When a withering financial crisis forced Greece to rethink its economy a decade ago, it bet big on green power. Since then, Greece’s energy transition has been so swift “it almost feels utopian,” one Greek environmentalist said. Mountainous ridgelines and arid islands are covered in wind turbines and solar panels that today provide nearly two-thirds of the nation’s electricity. But now Greece is deliberately pivoting back toward fossil fuels, just not to bur

Oil giants Exxon, Chevron lean on big-ticket deals to build bigger reserves
Cash-rich Exxon Mobil and Chevron are bolstering their oil and gas drilling inventory with multi-billion-dollar takeovers as they bet on resilient demand for years to come. The consolidation wave sweeping through the U.S. energy sector that spurred deals worth $250 billion in 2023 shows no signs of slowing as companies rush to deploy their cash hoard from higher oil prices into building even bigger reserves through acquisitions. Earlier this month, Exxon closed its $60 billion purchase of Pioneer Natural after receiving a go-ahead from U.S. regulators.

Analysis-Aircraft shortages turn into cash bonanza for some airlines
Aircraft shortages are turning into a moneymaker for some airlines as the dearth of supply allows carriers to sell new planes to leasing companies at much higher prices than they paid. Carriers such as Denver-based Frontier Airlines and Hungary's Wizz Air have reported gains up to hundreds of millions of dollars through selling planes after taking delivery and renting them back for their own use. The tight airliner market has made these deals far more attractive, with U.S. airlines this year accounting for 24% of global sale-and-leaseback transactions, up from 10% in 2022, according to Cirium Ascend Consultancy.
