AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Fuel-Cost Squeeze: South African small businesses are bracing for renewed pressure as fuel levy relief ends after June, with higher transport and operating costs expected to hit cashflow, pricing, and demand. Energy Disruptions: In The Gambia, NAWEC links outages in the Greater Banjul and West Coast areas to reduced power imports and limited backup generation, warning of knock-on effects for shops, schools, and healthcare. SME Formalisation Push: Zimbabwe’s Bulawayo is urging micro, small and medium enterprises to regularise operations, pay taxes, and get licences, alongside market upgrades funded with support from Switzerland. Local Business Support: Fidelity Bank in Nigeria is rolling out a Quarterly Business Forum to connect SME leaders with policymakers and experts, starting in Port Harcourt on June 3. Digital Economy Momentum: Nigeria’s DigitalSENSE Forum (June 11) is drawing major telecom and internet governance backers like MTN, ALTON, Upperlink and NiRA, aiming to strengthen digital public infrastructure. Energy for Growth: Nigeria’s Peter Obi says he would add 10,000MW within four years, targeting a major electricity bottleneck that raises operating costs for manufacturers and small firms. Cyber Safety for Cash Businesses: Loveland, Colorado is hosting a free counterfeit-money workshop for retailers and small business staff on June 3. Market Access for Local Makers: Cambodia’s Khmer Enterprise and AEON wrapped up a Local Products Fair, helping newly onboarded SMEs meet retail compliance and quality requirements.
