AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Oil & Infrastructure: Uganda’s East African Crude Oil Pipeline is nearing completion at about 80–84%, with line pipes delivered and marine terminal/jetty over 88%—targeting commissioning in July 2026 and first exports by October, with TotalEnergies leading alongside UNOC, TPDC and CNOOC. Ebola Response: China’s CDC has sent experts to a new Africa CDC–WHO coordination platform based at Makerere’s Infectious Diseases Institute, as DRC cases near 1,926 confirmed with Uganda reporting 20 confirmed cases; Amigos Internacionales says it’s expanding support amid shortages in eastern Congo. Agribusiness & Finance: Pearl Bank is training agribusiness SMEs in management and linking them to subsidised credit partners to boost productivity and profitability. Tax & Macroeconomy: Uganda expects its fiscal deficit to fall to 3% of GDP by 2031 as it shifts toward cheaper external borrowing to cut debt-servicing costs. Trade & Value Addition: Ugandan specialty coffee made history at a London auction with a record USD 350.02/kg for a Natural Geisha and a new average of USD 24.32/kg. Public Safety & Transport: URC defends lack of automated railway crossing barriers, saying reckless driving is the main cause after a train–bus crash in Mukono. Climate & Food Systems: A FAO webinar highlights digital tools to strengthen seed systems, improving access to certified climate-resilient seed for farmers.
