Saw that. Sorry.

A few mentions in this recent(ish) article about the project and the Chinese but the key piece of the article for me was after talking about the development of the Phulbari power plants:

“The Bangladeshi DECISION to start developing a “greenfield” coal power capacity raises serious questions........”.

Sounds very much to me that when we get the JV for the mine over the line, the decision has been made.

The link to the previous article is embedded in this one:

Bit old but nice to see the Phulbari plants getting a mention on the international stage.

From Feb but nice to see when I review my research

I should have added, Polo taking shares from Dyani is just as good a sign. The only difference is it’s his cash in the game instead of Polo shareholders.
I’m expecting him to find the cash.

Tang taking up his options would be a great sign and nearly as importantly put £770k in our coffers.

I second that Gooner. Thing is £5 a share isn’t enough for him.

Can you not buy in smaller chunks?

Top up time coming.

Tripod man:

“The Bangladesh Belt & Road
In 2016, Bangladesh and China signed 27 agreements for investments and loans worth around US$24 billion during President Xi’s visit to Dhaka that year. Together with the US$13.6 billion invested in earlier JVs, Chinese investment in Bangladesh now totals @US$38 billion, making China Bangladesh’s single largest investor and Bangladesh the 2nd largest recipient of Chinese loans under BRI in South Asia.“

Oh dear.

That was a delayed trade MuD. Last trade ‘in play’ was 16.5p, decent size too at 31k+

I think it’s clear to say that the US don’t think the B&R Initiative is good for US business. Good job Bangladesh do!!

The point I think they are making is the electricity being imported from India is cheaper than the new Bangla coal plant owners can produce using imported coal so the playing field isn’t level.
India’s coal is poor quality too and highly polluting.
