AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoBlue Economy: Somalia produces about 30,000 tonnes of fish a year—just 5% of its estimated capacity. The fisheries ministry says investment in boats, cold storage and processing could unlock up to $3 billion in annual revenue and more than 210,000 jobs; those figures are potential, not current earnings. Trade: Somalia has gained duty-free access to the EU market under a trade scheme, opening a new opportunity for exporters. Payments: The East African Community is developing a regional system to make cross-border transfers cheaper and reduce reliance on the US dollar, but Somalia is not yet connected to the existing platform. Currency and Digital Services: Somalia’s Finance Ministry says national currency will be printed soon, while the Hubiye national ID verification platform has begun operating—two steps with potential to support formal transactions and public services.
