OIL SURGES TO $100 A BARREL FOR FIRST TIME SINCE 2014

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a military assault against Ukraine early Thursday morning in Russia.

Russia is a large exporter of oil and gas, and any supply disruption could worsen energy inflation.European benchmark natural gas and power prices soared 30% in response.

Crude oil hit $100 a barrel for the first time in over seven years on Thursday, as energy prices surged after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a military assault against Ukraine.

Reports of explosions and flares across Ukraine came minutes after the speech broadcast early morning in Russia.

Brent crude futures breached $100 a barrel in Asia for the first time since 2014. The price was last up 5.67% at $99.38 at 3:27 a.m. ET. US benchmark West Texas Intermediate futures were also up 5.92% at $97.55 a barrel.

European natural gas futures roared higher, with Dutch and UK benchmark prices rising by 30% in the space of a day the most in almost two months while key German power prices rose 28%.

Russia is one of the largest exporters of oil and gas, and investors fear the crisis could disrupt energy supply, which in turn would add to already red-hot global consumer inflation. It supplies roughly 40% of the European Union's natural gas and any threat to that supply could drive regional prices even higher, analysts said.

"What we have said about oil is even more true of natural gas: any outage of Russian deliveries would be virtually impossible to offset, especially for Europe," strategists at Commerzbank said in a daily note. "Though European gas stocks should last until the end of the winter, the restocking needed for next winter would then be hardly possible," they added.

Russia competes with the United States and Saudi Arabia for the top spot in exports and was the world's third-largest oil exporter in 2020, so "thescale of disruptionandcorresponding difficulty in substituting for lost Russian supplymean thatprice sensitivity to Russian oil disruptions are high," said Vishnu Varathan, Mizuho Bank's head of economics and strategy in a note sent on Thursday before Putin's announcement.

CLYDE & CO UPDATER - PERFORMANCE SECURITY BONDS IN TANZANIA

A Performance Security Bond (Performance Bond) is a contract of guarantee in which one party (the Guarantor) promises to discharge the liability of a third party in the event of default. Performance Bonds are designed to ensure the performance of duties by parties to a contract. In this month’s legal update, we highlight the key aspects of Performance Bonds and their implications in Tanzania.

The following laws are applicable to this article:

• The Banking and Financial Institutions Act No. 5 of 2006 (the BFI Act)
• The Law of Contract Act, Cap 345 R.E. 2019 (the LCA)
• The Public Private Partnership Act No. 18 of 2010 (as amended)
• The Public Procurement Regulations, GN No. 446 of 2013 (as amended) (the Regulations)

Performance Bonds are governed by the provisions of the LCA. It should be noted that banks and financial institutions are among the main providers of Performance Bonds in Tanzania alongside insurance companies. Banks and financial institutions are permitted to issue guarantees pursuant to section 24 (1) (f) of the BFI Act.

How Performance Bonds are commonly used in Tanzania

In Tanzania, Performance Bonds are commonly used in public-private partnerships (PPPs) where a Government agency/authority (the Beneficiary) seeks expertise from a private entity (the Supplier). Under such circumstances, the Beneficiary would require the Supplier to obtain a Performance Bond as a guarantee to perform the required services.

The submission of a Performance Bond under the PPP regime is provided for under regulation 29 (1) of the Regulations which provides as follows:

“(1) The procuring entity shall require the successful tenderer to submit a performance security to guarantee the faithful performance of the contract and payment of all labourers, suppliers, mechanics and subcontractors, if any”.
