AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Debt and ratings watch: Africa raised over $14bn on international markets in H1 2026, but much of it went to budgets, debt service and liability management rather than productive investment; Cabo Verde, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa saw foreign-currency rating upgrades, while others like Botswana and Mozambique were downgraded. Child marriage on the UN agenda: The UN General Assembly set 27 November as an annual International Day to eliminate child, early and forced marriage, with Cabo Verde among the co-sponsors. Women’s economic push (incl. Cabo Verde): A women’s summit in Abuja called for more investment in leadership and skills for the future of work, with a next phase planned for Cabo Verde in late November. Digital ID gap: The World Bank warns 2.8bn people remain shut out of government-recognized digital ID systems, with new gender gaps and low real-world usage even where IDs exist. Aviation connectivity: Luxair says it will invest more than €1bn to renew its fleet, including longer routes to destinations such as Cabo Verde. Tourism pressure from heat: Extreme heat is already reshaping African travel patterns, forcing operators to adjust schedules and rethink seasonality.
