Lucrative pacts and trades see wealth explode (10,5)
I believe the answer is:
sweetheart deals
'lucrative pacts' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'trades see wealth explode' is the wordplay.
'explode' is an anagram indicator.
'trades'+'see'+'wealth'='tradesseewealth'
'tradesseewealth' with letters rearranged gives 'SWEETHEART DEALS'.
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
