AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Ebola Response Escalates: The WHO says Congo’s Ebola fight is “catching up” but warns the outbreak is far from over, with confirmed cases above 340 and spread into Uganda—while MSF says the real scale is likely bigger and testing is lagging. Cross-Border Shock to Business & Travel: Border closures and travel restrictions are hitting trade and tourism, and even sports logistics are disrupted as Spain cancels a DR Congo World Cup warm-up over Ebola concerns. International Aid & Capacity Push: WHO chief Tedros visited Kinshasa and Ituri, urging stronger health-system capacity and community ownership; China also sent an anti-epidemic team for a three-month mission. US Visa Policy Changes: The US plans to cut Africa visa-processing sites from nearly 50 to 20 hubs, including Kinshasa, reshaping travel costs and planning for business travelers. DRC Fiscal Oversight: Kinshasa moves to centralize gambling monitoring after a major tax gap emerged, aiming to improve compliance under FATF pressure. Mining Royalties Update: The DRC approved higher royalties for strategic minerals (including lithium and tantalum), a potential cost shift for investors in critical minerals.
