"The microfinance banks are complaining that they already have collateral with the Central Bank, but the SMEs approaching them for the loans are coming with un-presentable collateral, so with this, it is difficult for the microfinance banks to keep giving out the loans.

The most senior managers at oil giant Eni appear to have misled shareholders over the company's actions in a corrupt oil deal at its 2014 AGM. This is very important - as they gather for the 2015 meeting, shareholders in Italy's biggest company should expect straight answers over a deal which poses real risks to their investments. The corruption at the heart of the deal deprived the Nigerian state of over U.S. $1.1 billion, has triggered investigations by authorities in three countries, and could ultimately lead to the Eni and its partner Shell losing access to the oil block.
