World Cup momentum (and headaches): The U.S. has waived World Cup visa-bond deposits (up to $15,000) for ticket-holding fans from Algeria, Cape Verde, Ivory Coast, Senegal and Tunisia—though many still face visa hurdles and high travel costs across the three host countries. Digital ID push in Côte d’Ivoire: At ID4Africa 2026 in Abidjan, Ethiopia showcased its Fayda Digital ID, while Côte d’Ivoire’s ANSSI warned digital identity is now “critical infrastructure” needing built-in sovereign cybersecurity. Finance spotlight: Africa Re CEO Corneille Karekezi says insurers hold about $380bn in assets but invest “almost zero” in African infrastructure—highlighting a long-term capital gap. Local infrastructure win: Abobo’s new drainage works in Abidjan are credited with cutting seasonal flooding after heavy rains. Cocoa pressure: Côte d’Ivoire continues to manage farmer unrest tied to unpaid beans and rotting stock.
