Respectfully, a company floats a stock to raise capital, at great initial and ongoing expense and effort. Listing £20m of stock in an entity of hundreds of millions is not worth the expense or effort.
To list the whole of any entity involved is not remotely viable (unless moving the PLC listing to Ethiopia or Dual Listing - the purpose of which (with associated costs, effort and risk) is unclear).
Paraphrasing “To ingratiate ourselves with the locals” doesn’t make it make sense either.
Equity subscription(s) to fully fund the project make sense, and to locals if possible makes sense too.
Ultimately the project massively benefits the country as it stands, with the government and local communities getting cash injections, jobs, tax receipts and direct stakes.
I get your premise, it just doesn’t make any sense….
Not that it matters, but seems a very odd premise 🤷🏻♂️
