AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Digital Infrastructure Boost: Côte d’Ivoire has granted final approval for Starlink to operate, following a high-level US visit, alongside authorising a US-backed sovereign data centre, government digitisation platform, smart border surveillance and a $170m Cybastion project—signalling broadband and cloud build-out as a package, not a standalone telecom move. Regional Appointments: ECOWAS approved new leadership for its 2026–2030 term, including commissioners, judges for the ECOWAS Court of Justice, an auditor-general and the WAHO director-general—an institutional reset that can shape regional business rules. Monetary Watch: African central banks are bracing for another inflation shock after Strait of Hormuz disruptions pushed up oil and fertilizer prices; countries including Côte d’Ivoire that import fuel face renewed pressure to keep rates cautious. Cocoa Outlook: Cocoa prices are expected to keep rising into year-end as West African production faces risk from a strong El Niño pattern, tightening supply expectations for the world’s key chocolate ingredient. Cocoa Value Agenda: AfDB urged African states to stop exporting raw critical minerals and instead push local processing and value chains—an industrialisation push echoed by regional development forums in Abidjan.
