AGP Executive Report

Last update: 25 minutes ago

Oil & Infrastructure: The East African Crude Oil Pipeline is at about 80–84% completion, targeting commissioning in July 2026 and first exports by October, with Uganda’s Albertine crude (up to 246,000 bpd) moving to Tanzania’s Tanga port via an electrically heated 1,443km line. Digital Trade: The EAC says online shopping across the region could become safer and more trusted after a Geneva/Belgrade knowledge mission to close legal and regulatory gaps for cross-border e-commerce. Workforce Tech: HR firm SeamlessHR rebrands as Seamless Technologies and rolls out tools for both white-collar and frontline/shift workforces—built for manufacturing, logistics, construction, agriculture and hospitality. Construction Speed: Uganda Baati promotes its SafBuild pre-engineered building system, claiming projects can move from months to about 12 weeks. Power Reliability: UEDCL starts a UGX 16bn Nkenda–Ishaka distribution upgrade to cut outages in Kasese, Rubirizi and Bushenyi. Agro-Industrialisation: President Museveni commissions the NEC tinned beef and beans factory, urging better coordination so licensed investors get power, water and transport on time. Ebola Watch: Uganda prepares to discharge its last Ebola patient, starting a WHO 42-day countdown, while DRC response continues to lag. Finance Outlook: Uganda’s fiscal deficit is projected to narrow to 3% of GDP by 2031 as debt strategy shifts toward cheaper external borrowing. Regional Business Climate: MPs question KCCA over “as-built” post-construction approval of Ham Shopping Centre built over the Nakivubo Channel. Industrial Skills & SMEs: Pearl Bank trains agribusiness SMEs to improve management, productivity and access to subsidised credit.
