Last update: 6 hours ago

Cultural Archives Boost: The Getty Foundation has awarded $1.8m in new grants to expand access to Black visual arts archives, adding to $4.5m since 2022 and pushing digitisation plus public-facing community projects. Private Lending Push: Citi and BlackRock’s HPS Investment Partners launched a €15bn private credit program for sub-investment-grade corporate debt across Europe, the Middle East and Africa—Citi originates, HPS funds, and risk shifts off Citi’s books. Syria Real Estate Signal: Emaar is exiting its $500m Damascus joint venture and will run The Eighth Gate independently, a bet on post-war investment momentum after sanctions lifted. Nigeria Market Mood: Investors pulled back on the NGX, with equities down N81bn and the All-Share Index easing as trading stayed cautious. Courtroom Tension: Nigeria’s Justice Crack case continues amid claims of militarised court access, with lawyers and journalists reportedly harassed during proceedings. Book Culture Flashpoint: A US school district debate over banning Alex Haley’s Roots is reigniting questions about “age-appropriate” rules and who gets to decide.
