AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Fuel Subsidy Debate in Nigeria: Atiku Abubakar pushes back on claims around Dangote Refinery, arguing his production subsidy model targets cheaper local refining (not import support) to cut pump prices and protect refinery viability. Kenya Foreign Traders Rules: Kenya’s government says it’s not imposing a blanket ban on foreigners in small-scale trade, but is tightening regularisation, registration and tax compliance—amid rising xenophobia fears and diplomatic outreach. BRICS Payments & Trade: India’s Piyush Goyal urged BRICS members to link payment systems, expand local-currency trade and make digital trade more accessible, with UPI cited as a model. SME Growth & “Missing Middle” : Southern Africa’s poultry sector is urged to build medium-scale enterprises that can compete for formal contracts, not just micro/small survival operators. Digital Tools for Field SMEs: ODIGO CMS launches in Africa to help businesses manage dispersed sales and field teams across locations. Climate Finance for Rural SMEs: Equity Bank Tanzania and IFAD-backed ARCAFIM aim to deliver about $25m for climate adaptation financing for farmers and rural micro, small and medium enterprises. Energy for Small Businesses: A focus on grassroots energy solutions shows how mini-grids and solar can keep SMEs running despite unreliable power. Local Manufacturing Push: Nigeria’s solar industry story highlights the push to build “Made in Nigeria” capacity as grid outages persist.
