Encouraging to see Goldman Sachs report that the #NigerianNaira is the world’s best performing currency this month “and could extend its gains”. Still much to be done, but due credit to President #Tinubu for the difficult, not necessarily popular, economic measures he has taken

The Spears 500 - unofficial bible for (U)HNWs - have published their Best (70) Reputation Managers list . At the top of the list are their 13 "top flight" pros. Utterly charmed & flattered to find myself among those 13. But all impossible without my amazing Chelgate colleagues.

Excellent presentation by #Zambia’s High Commissioner, #MacenjeMazoka, today at the Westminster Africa Business Group lunch . Of course it faces significant economic challenges, but Zambia truly does have the potential to become one of Africa’s great success stories

Outstanding Spears 500 day at the Savoy today. Several really important presentations, and the opportunity to meet a number of truly extraordinary and interesting people .

Perhaps surprising but possibly inspired choice of Bob Prevost as new pope. I rather expect Trump ‘s early delight may fade quite rapidly. Pope #Leo has already demonstrated values and commitments which don’t sit comfortably in the Donald realm

Small and beautifully brought into the world by Tristram Fane Saunders - much obliged to be the MF behind Elizabeth Bishop's roadster and John Betjeman's speed freakout. Order the highly collectible first issue now.
