The Financing of the infrastructure of the Energy and Environmental Power – and consequently the whole Economy of Congo
Recovery in Africa through Oil & Minerals as collateral and/or
Subrogation of receivables with Western oil- and mining
companies:
• The African nations acquire “assets” without new debt. Eventual temporary partial financing from the EIB and/or EU commercial banks are rather short-term and low-risk because future deliveries of minerals will automatically wipe out any debt
• Consequently the African nations improve their other credit ratings due to accrual of assets
• Barter deals are a boost to develop mining projects in Africa, they mostly do not require financial investments from the African nation, as the industry will perform all necessary investments on site to make the mine operational
• Barter deals involving European contractors is a 100% guarantee to dispose of infrastructure of a far higher quality compared to projects built by Chinese, therefore will lower maintenance costs

• Both railways and mining will generate new fiscal revenues for African nations and create lot of jobs and training of new skills for natives. New jobs in a mining area is a blessing for the region
