Consumer Goods Finance: PZ Cussons Nigeria’s profit jumped 298% as asset disposal boosted earnings, while Brickworks expects India’s consumer goods and healthcare to outperform in FY27. Retail & Logistics: DP World opened Egypt’s Sokhna logistics distribution hub to help brands consolidate warehousing, customs, and fulfillment.
