AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Visa Access for Seychellois: Seychelles is one of only two African countries with an EU Schengen visa-waiver for short stays (up to 90 days in any 180), alongside Mauritius—good news for travellers planning Europe trips. Seychelles Defence Support: India handed over specialised tools to Seychelles to improve safety and readiness of the Coast Guard, strengthening maritime capability. SADC Summit Momentum: SADC leaders backed a push for industrialisation, infrastructure, agricultural transformation and critical minerals, with tourism visa plans and a regional development fund highlighted as priorities. Local Jobs Hit: FMM abattoir closure is set to end operations by end-September, with more than 100 jobs at risk and producers losing EU-linked markets, including exports to the Seychelles. Business & Finance: Absa won the GEPF custody contract after decades with Standard Bank, while Absa also eyes expansion back into Angola and a Nigeria merchant banking licence. Tech & Trading: INGOT Group launched Rise, a trading app offering instant loss refunds up to $100 for new clients, alongside broader fintech activity across the region.
