AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoCEMAC Finance: Lending costs eased across the bloc in the second quarter, with Equatorial Guinea’s effective rate at 13.82%, above the regional average of 10.94%. The country also made a modest positive contribution to CEMAC’s 5.9% rise in economic activity. Gas Strategy: Equatorial Guinea is seeking to turn Punta Europa into a regional gas-processing and LNG hub. Chevron’s Alen, Alba and planned Aseng supply could reach more than 300 million cubic feet a day, but further gas is needed to fill the LNG plant and sustain the hub as Alba declines. Egypt Ties: Malabo and Cairo signed cooperation memorandums covering agriculture, tourism, culture and aquaculture, and concluded the first session of their joint committee. Growth Outlook: The World Bank raised its 2026 Sub-Saharan Africa growth forecast to 4.3%, but projects per-capita growth of just 1.8% and poverty at 47.8%—a reminder that stronger regional output may not translate into broad gains in living standards.
