AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoCEMAC Currency: Five older CFA franc coin series will lose legal-tender status across the bloc, including Equatorial Guinea, on November 1. Holders can exchange them through October 31, 2027; newer 2006 and 2024 coins remain valid. Shipping: Sweden has cleared the tanker Sea Owl 1 to leave after confirming its registration under Equatorial Guinea’s flag, lifting a detention that began in March. Gas Strategy: Equatorial Guinea is seeking to turn Punta Europa into a regional gas-processing and LNG hub. Existing and planned projects could lift supply, but confirmed volumes still fall short of the terminal’s capacity, leaving the country looking for additional feed gas. Business Finance: CEMAC’s average effective lending rate fell to 10.94% in the second quarter, but Equatorial Guinea’s rate was higher at 13.82%, underscoring uneven borrowing costs across the bloc.
