"This such bad news for Botswana which has been one of Africas luckiest countries in recent decades due to huge natural resource wealth and a tiny population Now the diamond price shock is akin to the commodity price shock that hit Nigeria and others in the 1980s and 2015-16" @CharlieTTEcon on X 2025-07-22 05:56:35 UTC 35.4K followers, 5687 engagements
"Researching the Straits of Hormuz east African oil storage and an IMF Article IV on Nigeria means it's possible to cross check gasoline/petrol consumption per person per month. Note the per person includes children so nearly double this for adult average consumption" @CharlieTTEcon on X 2025-07-10 14:20:17 UTC 35.4K followers, 1581 engagements
"The lesson for commodity exporters whether Norwegian natural ice exporters until the fridge was invented or New England oil whalers until crude oil was discovered is that commodities do not necessarily have any natural value Sell them while you can Human capital is better" @CharlieTTEcon on X 2025-07-22 06:24:13 UTC 35.4K followers, 4592 engagements
"@ChrisB_IG Anglo-American trying to sell diamond producer De Beers for $4.9bn looks like its being optimistic in its valuation" @CharlieTTEcon on X 2025-07-22 06:21:11 UTC 35.4K followers, XX engagements
"@NomdeGuerre24 Agreed on guano or ice exports by Norway or whale oil. Botswana wont lose all diamond exports presumably and can fall back on beef exports tourism. Hopefully the investment in education of recent decades will help it through this period" @CharlieTTEcon on X 2025-07-22 09:54:39 UTC 35.4K followers, XXX engagements
"Actually far worse than that at least for small diamonds. The price of lab diamonds is now 1/16th of natural diamonds vs 1/2 just a few years. And one carat lab diamond can be made for roughly $XX and polished in India for less than $10" @CharlieTTEcon on X 2025-07-22 06:03:25 UTC 35.4K followers, 1717 engagements
"In The Time Travelling Economist I showed why Botswana has been so successful as a country vs other commodity exporters like Congo Nigeria or Zambia. That story must now be over. Second chart is Botswanas exports of rough diamonds" @CharlieTTEcon on X 2025-07-22 06:08:51 UTC 35.4K followers, 5338 engagements
