AGP Executive Report

Last update: 16 minutes ago

Red Sea Shipping Shock: Houthi advances and renewed strikes around Bab-el-Mandeb are pushing up war-risk insurance and raising costs for oil and fertiliser shipments, with analysts warning the disruption could deepen as routes stay under threat. Corridor Boost: The US-backed Lobito Corridor is set to double cargo volumes to 800,000 tons in 2027 after a $300m drawdown, as critical minerals demand intensifies. Energy Route Pressure: Saudi Arabia is said to be running out of export options as pipeline outages and maritime risks limit Red Sea and Hormuz-linked trade. Gulf Connectivity Risk: Iran’s threat to cut undersea cables in the Strait of Hormuz highlights a major vulnerability for Gulf data and finance links. Nigeria Trade Politics: Atiku accuses Tinubu of exporting raw materials while factories sit on unsold stock, arguing purchasing power is collapsing. Election Logistics: Nigeria’s INEC says it will deploy 1.41m ad hoc staff for 2027 polls, while an AU pre-election assessment mission begins in Abuja. Road Safety: South Africa faces renewed scrutiny after a multi-vehicle crash killed at least 21 people. Public Safety & Security: South Africa’s president vows justice as more women’s bodies are found near Johannesburg, with police investigating links. Transport Finance: Kenya’s NSE investor wealth fell by Sh158bn in a week amid Red Sea-driven oil jitters and profit-taking.
