AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 minutes ago

Diplomacy: China says its special representative on African affairs, Liu Xianfa, will visit Djibouti, Ethiopia and Egypt in early to mid-November to promote dialogue and regional stability. Public Finances: Djibouti has cut its 2026 budget by 2.22%, after revenue fell 12.88 billion francs short of target in the first five months. Elections: Regional and municipal polls have been postponed from February to April 2027 to avoid Ramadan; current councillors’ terms will be extended. Economic Diversification: A new UN Economic Commission for Africa study examines how Djibouti can use the AfCFTA to expand industry and reduce reliance on ports and logistics. Trade: The study comes as Ethiopia continues to rely heavily on Djibouti’s ports, while experts say delays add pressure to its economy.
