AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Geopolitics & Food/Fuel Shock: The World Food Programme warns the Iran war is pushing tens of millions toward severe food insecurity as fuel and food prices rise and trade routes get disrupted, with added strain from US UN funding cuts. Energy & Growth Pressure: India is scrambling as higher oil costs weigh on the rupee, growth, and public finances; fuel demand in May fell 6.5% as consumers shift to alternatives. South Africa GDP Watch: SA’s economy grew 0.5% in Q1 for a sixth straight quarter, but economists warn Middle East-driven fuel and transport costs could mute momentum later in 2026. EU Sanctions: The EU proposes a new Russia sanctions package hitting banks, oil-related mechanisms, weapons makers, and crypto operators, aiming to squeeze Russia’s war financing. Climate/Policy: New Zealand’s ACT party is reigniting debate over emissions targets, arguing current policy is an economic “own-goal.” Circular Economy: South Africa’s Plastics Pact launched 2030 targets to boost recycling and circular growth. Digital/Jobs Narrative: LinkedIn says the hiring slump isn’t driven by AI, but by post-pandemic macro conditions. Local Economic Boosts: South Africa’s Comrades Marathon is expected to bring major visitor spending and temporary jobs. Fiji Fiscal Strain: Fiji faces a widening spending-revenue gap, ageing water infrastructure, and rising debt ahead of the 2026-27 budget.
