AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Ebola Controls & Cross-Border Risk: DR Congo tightened travel rules after France confirmed the first Ebola case outside Africa in the current outbreak: a ministerial decree orders 21 days of active health monitoring and bans travel (domestic and international) for Ebola contacts and for people recently in affected provinces unless health authorities authorize it. Public Health Capacity: WHO says the Bundibugyo-driven outbreak has reached 1,094 confirmed cases and 277 deaths, with treatment beds rising to 500+ across 19 facilities and lab testing scaling up; WHO also flags a clinical trial of antivirals starting end-June. Humanitarian Pressure: WFP warns Ebola is worsening an already severe hunger crisis, arguing containment won’t work without protecting food access, livelihoods, and movement in conflict-hit areas. IMF Support for the Economy: The IMF approved a new $350m disbursement for DR Congo under its reform programs, with funding for the general budget, infrastructure, social protection, and stronger reserves. Air Connectivity: Air Congo will launch Brussels–Kinshasa direct flights from July 1, adding competition to Brussels Airlines on a key long-haul route. Minerals & Geopolitics: The US escalated sanctions on Rwanda-linked firms accused of financing M23 through illicit Congolese mineral trade, aiming to push “transparent, traceable” supply chains. Legal Push Against Rwanda: Kinshasa filed a fresh case at the ICJ, seeking responsibility for alleged rights violations in eastern DR Congo. Digital & Investment Signals: DR Congo is preparing a tender for an 11,500 km fibre-optic backbone, while the Kinshasa Stock Exchange push with the IFC points to deeper local capital-market development.
