The third Russia-Africa Summit and Economic & Humanitarian Forum opens in Moscow today; reflecting African countries’ push to diversify their partnerships across the globe. Last week, CSEP Research Analyst Sakshi Potdar spoke at an event hosted by the @orfonline titled “Russia-Africa Summit 2026: Interests, Influence and Interdependence”. Alongside fellow panellists, Samir Bhattacharya, Mikatekiso Kubayi, Gashaw Ayferam, Olga Kul’kova, her interventions touched on African priorities of local value addition, the potential for Africa-India-Russia trilateral partnerships, and sectoral cooperation on critical minerals and health. The panel session, followed by a lively Q&A with the audience, focused on broader conversations regarding deepening of Africa-Russia economic ties, private sector engagement, security, and implications of the relationship on larger geopolitical landscapes and multilateralism.

How should India account for emissions from green hydrogen? A new @NRDC & CSEP study examines how accounting frameworks shape green hydrogen costs, emissions, grid impacts & export readiness. The study finds that hourly accounting can reveal substantially higher emissions than annual-average accounting, while flexible electrolyser operation and appropriate storage can improve both cost and emissions outcomes.

India's currency crisis is “very grave and severe,” says economist @renukohli_eco, Senior Fellow at the Centre for Social and Economic Progress (@CSEP_Org).
She argues that the crisis has been building for over two years, fuelled by a weak balance of payments and declining foreign capital inflows.
"Were we sanguine that the foreign portfolio inflows would resume? Hoping for such a situation is not a good strategy..."
She shares insights with @pujamehra on How India's Economy Works.

#WhatTankThinks | The EU wants a bigger role in South Asia. What will it take to get there?
Stronger economic ties alone may not be enough, argues @ConstantinoX, senior fellow at the Centre for Social and Economic Progress (@CSEP_Org).
In a blog post titled 'Elevating the European Union in South Asia', he states that greater diplomatic engagement and closer coordination with India could be key.
