AGP Executive Report

Last update: 21 minutes ago

AfDB Oversight & Delivery: After a year in office, AfDB chief Sidi Ould Tah is reshaping how the bank raises money and prepares projects, but the real test is whether the new approach can close Africa’s huge financing gaps. Cocoa Price Shock: Côte d’Ivoire will keep the farmgate cocoa price at 1,200 CFA francs/kg for the main harvest, disappointing farmers after months of sector turmoil and a near-60% cut earlier this year. Cocoa Finance Boost: FMO signed a €20m working capital facility with Ivory Cocoa Products to fund cocoa bean procurement in Côte d’Ivoire, supporting the supply chain during price pressure. Gold Exploration Update: Aurum Resources reported fresh high-grade gold intercepts from its BST1 deposit at Boundiali, reinforcing potential resource growth ahead of a major mineral resource update. Oil & Gas Investment: First steel has been cut for Wison New Energies’ FPSO hull for Eni’s Baleine Phase 3 project offshore Côte d’Ivoire, a step toward scaling production and domestic gas supply. Mobility Safety Tech: Yango says its safety upgrades helped cut reckless driving incidents in Côte d’Ivoire by 35% and reduced post-trip complaints after privacy tech rollouts. Creative Economy: Ivorian designer Loza Maléombho is using AI to relaunch her African intellectual property vision through “Pokou,” blending Baoulé heritage with digital experiences.
