AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

ECOWAS Currency Push: ECOWAS reaffirmed plans to launch a single “ECO” currency in phases by 2027, but key questions remain on the future central bank and how members using the CFA franc (including Côte d’Ivoire) will be included. Cocoa Rights Clash: Swiss chocolate giant Lindt was sued in a US federal court over alleged child labour in cocoa from Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire, with the complaint accusing the company of misleading consumers despite its ethical sourcing claims. Human Trafficking Crackdown: Survivors say they were lured from Nigeria to Côte d’Ivoire with promises of jobs, then trapped in forced labour and sexual exploitation; authorities report a joint rescue operation. Abidjan Mobility & Tech: Ivorian micro-mobility startup Ecobyke joined FasterCapital’s EquityPilot to scale shared electric bikes and scooters across African cities, while Abidjan’s colorful minibuses remain a visible part of everyday street life. Regional Energy Security: ECOWAS leaders backed a $25bn Nigeria–Morocco gas pipeline, but analysts warn security and protection across many transit states will be decisive. Flood Risk Watch: Ghana’s finance minister said 2027 Budget funding will support a “permanent solution” to recurring flooding—an issue that also affects Côte d’Ivoire and the wider region.
