AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoAI Readiness: A new Commonwealth study warns AI could widen economic gaps, and highlights Togo’s challenge: nearly universal 4G coverage, but fewer than half of young people use the internet. Skills and access to jobs will matter as much as connectivity. Tax Incentives: Just 20 companies received 52.83% of Togo’s CFAF174.7 billion in tax breaks in 2025, up 6.4% year on year. Lomé Container Terminal and ASKY alone accounted for nearly a quarter. Fuel Costs: The government plans to raise fuel subsidies to CFAF34.2 billion in its revised 2026 budget, from CFAF14.2 billion, cushioning consumers as global oil prices drive up import costs. Public Finances: The revised CFAF2.744 trillion budget increases planned investment borrowing by 43.7% to CFAF316.9 billion, while projected grants fall. Energy and Investment: Dangote Group plans an undersea fuel pipeline from Nigeria through Lomé to Ghana, potentially challenging Lomé’s role as a regional trading hub. Togo also plans to seek $3.97 billion for 43 green projects at COP31.
