The Ugandan government has declared its intention to enact a new fiscal regime for the mining sector. This brief is a response to a request by the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development to review the prevailing regime and inform the government’s approach to revising it.

As Myanmar undergoes validation against the EITI standard, this briefing is intended to equip stakeholders in interrogating and correcting apparent inconsistencies in jade and gemstone sector statistics. 

NRGI was instrumental in the passage of a Ukraine law that mandates the disclosure of extractive payments at the project level, the disclosure of the ultimate beneficial owners of companies, and the disclosure of “material” elements of contracts relating to the extractive industry.

Myanmar's jade industry is worth billions of dollars annually, and yet only a small fraction of its profits benefit the country's citizens.

NRGI and its partners have achieved the institutionalization of a multi-stakeholder platform which will soon draft reform action plans. As a result, in formerly autocratic Tunisia, a diversity of voices, including those from civil society, are being heard in crucial natural resource governance reform discussions.

   

   

   

La fiscalité minière est déterminante pour les ambitions de la RDC. Trop élevée, elle pourrait décourager les investisseurs et accélérer la recherche de substituts au cobalt dans les technologies de batteries électriques. Trop laxiste, elle priverait les Congolais de recettes publiques essentielles pour le développement du pays au profit d’une industrie dominée par des entreprises étrangères. 

The government of Guyana is about to launch a new sovereign wealth fund to manage its future oil wealth, which is likely to be significant.
