AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Critical Minerals & Development: The DRC is leaning harder on critical minerals as a “game changer” for growth, with the AfDB pointing to falling inflation and stabilisation—though the eastern security crisis is still pushing the budget deficit higher. Rural Industrialisation: Zimbabwe’s Orange Ville Trading is being held up as a rural jobs and value-add model, expanding citrus processing and planning a citrus hub. Housing & Demand Shock: UK Housing Minister Matthew Pennycook says the 1.5m homes target is being squeezed by dampened demand linked to the Iran conflict, alongside higher building costs. Road Safety Costs: Malaysia estimates road accidents cost up to RM30bn a year, with 6,537 deaths in 2025 and 80.6% blamed on human factors—prompting calls for safer infrastructure plus enforcement and tech. Trade & Tariffs: Canada-U.S. talks remain stuck as Ottawa tries to avert new 50% U.S. tariffs while seeking relief on existing sector tariffs. Macro Watch: China’s July data shows weaker industrial output, retail sales and investment, raising pressure for growth support. Legal & Procurement: Chainalysis has sued the U.S. government over a nearly $95m ICE sole-source contract to TRM Labs for blockchain forensics tools.
