Commodity Trading Transparency: Voluntary Guidelines Show the Way, Authorities Must Now Legislate

28 September 2020
Joseph Williams
The voluntary nature of new EITI guidelines means that comprehensive disclosure of detailed information on purchases by traders is unlikely in the near term. Authorities in jurisdictions where commodity traders are based should move to legally require the disclosure of these sizeable payments.

How the Pandemic Has Roiled Extractive Industry Suppliers—and Why That Matters for Governments and Citizens

24 September 2020
Robert Pitman
Investors are paying close attention to the financial consequences of the pandemic on suppliers, but more on the companies themselves than on resource-rich countries. Supplier governance influences the ability of nations and communities to benefit from oil, gas and mining projects, and is central to securing a “social license to operate.”

Pandemic, Problems at Pemex Suggest a Rethink of Mexico’s Energy Strategy

22 September 2020
Alonso Hidalgo
President Andres Manuel Lopez-Obrador has pushed an economic agenda that prioritizes the “rescue” of state oil company Pemex. The transition to renewable sources of energy, however, demands increased scrutiny of the government’s plans.

Pandemia y Problemas en Pemex Sugieren un Replanteamiento de la Estrategia Energética de México

21 September 2020
Alonso Hidalgo
México es un país rico en recursos que ha dependido históricamente del petróleo. Su riqueza petrolera, sin embargo, parece ser una carga: el mayor actor del sector, Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex), es la compañía petrolera de propiedad nacional más endeudada del mundo.

11 September 2020
Aubrey Menard

Gender-disaggregated data can help develop more inclusive regulations and guidelines for the natural resource sector.

Electric Vehicle Battery Sustainability is a Must to Meet Climate Ambitions

8 September 2020
Patrick Heller, Ethan Elkind
To achieve essential climate goals, governments and companies must complement electrification policies with enhanced commitments to more transparency across the battery supply chain and better governance in the countries that produce battery minerals.

How Have Governments of Resource-Rich Countries Used Their Sovereign Wealth Funds During the Crisis?

21 August 2020
Andrew Bauer
Governments dependent on revenues from commodities are suffering serious budget crises. While many have sought support from the international financial institutions, made drastic spending cuts, or borrowed heavily, a few are blessed with large sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) or entered the crisis with low debt levels. This post explores SWF trends in resource-rich countries.

10 August 2020
Audrey Gaughran , Suneeta Kaimal
The coronavirus pandemic has hit the economies of many resource-rich countries with unprecedented impact. To face this challenge, new thinking is needed. NRGI is determined to work with its partners to contribute to the emergence of a new paradigm for managing non-renewable resources.

29 July 2020
Daniel Kaufmann
