About Starks Newsroom

What we do

Starks Newsroom covers markets, the financial system, the economy and the trends shaping them. Every story answers three questions: what happened, why it matters and what to watch next. Longer research is published as reports, which you can read on the page or download.

Who publishes it

Starks Newsroom is published by Starks Associates, a financial services company that helps businesses access currencies and move money across Africa and beyond. Its products include payments, liquidity, funding and accounts.

That makes us a financial services company with a newsroom, and some of what we cover touches our own industry. When a story concerns Starks, its products or its partners, the story says so. Our editorial standards set out the rest.

What you will find here

• Markets. Rates, liquidity, currencies and the forces moving capital across asset classes.
• Financial system. Banks, payments, regulation and the infrastructure money runs on.
• Economy. Growth, inflation, jobs and the policy decisions that shape them.
• Trends & insights. Structural shifts worth understanding before they reach the headlines.
• Analysis & opinion. Expert interpretation and argument, always signed and always labelled.
• Reports. In-depth research, each with a summary of what it found.
