AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Digital Commerce Regulation: Sierra Leone moves to close a seven-year legal gap for its fast-growing digital commerce sector, aiming to turn its 2019 electronic transactions law into enforceable rules that protect businesses, consumers and investors. SME Finance & Deal Flow: A new push in impact investing argues the real bottleneck isn’t tools like guarantees or first-loss capital—it’s the lack of investable, mid-risk MSME deals that match real working-capital needs. Payments & Visibility for SMEs: Polygon launches Prism, a self-service platform that lets South African SMEs plan, book and launch digital billboard campaigns online across 2,500 screens—cutting the “big-brand only” barrier to out-of-home marketing. Trade & Investment Linkages: ZNCC and the Mauritius chamber sign an MoU to deepen Zimbabwe–Mauritius business ties, with a focus on information exchange, investment opportunities and trade missions. Energy-to-Industry Push: South Africa’s business chamber in Mozambique urges governments to champion the Temane–Inhambane Energy Hub as a Mozambique flagship for turning gas into industry and jobs. Human Capital for AI: Ghana’s AI strategy spotlight shifts to a practical question: whether the country will invest enough in people to build, regulate and use AI for inclusive growth. Gender & Safety: South Africa renews calls for stronger action against gender-based violence and femicide, stressing that laws must be matched with real support and accountability. Corporate Governance: Trustco shareholders reject Riskowitz’s board-removal bid, with all key resolutions failing at the general meeting.
