AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoPublic Transport Relief: Mozambique President Daniel Chapo handed over 190 natural gas-powered buses for Greater Maputo, aiming to cut fare duplication and subsidise student trips as fuel prices squeeze minibus-taxi services. Energy Shock & Policy Response: The bus rollout follows ARENE’s fuel price increases of up to 45.5%, with Chapo also pointing to new vehicular gas projects and higher storage capacity to buffer import pressures. Governance & Development Finance: Parliament approved the creation of Mozambique’s Development Bank (BDM) to fund medium- and long-term projects and support national production, with a stated share capital of about 32 billion meticais. Mining Accountability: A parliamentary inquiry into Manica’s mining pollution calls for the immediate closure of illegal sites, citing mercury and other heavy metals contaminating drinking water and reservoirs. Climate Risk Watch: Coverage also flags rising El Niño-linked extremes, with Mozambique already among countries facing displacement and weather-driven disruption earlier this year.
