AGP Executive Report
Last update: 22 minutes agoShipping: CMA CGM is adding Iskenderun to its MEDEX service from week 42, linking Turkish apple and citrus exports to Djibouti and markets across the Middle East and Indian Subcontinent. Energy Links: A proposed $660 million Ethiopia–Djibouti petroleum pipeline, targeted for completion in 18 months, would connect Djibouti’s coastal storage to Ethiopia’s inland network and deepen the countries’ trade corridor. Red Sea Risks: Renewed fighting near Bab el-Mandeb threatens a waterway vital to Djibouti’s port business and Ethiopia’s imports. Shipping detours could raise costs, while insecurity is also driving up risk for regional trade and data links. Humanitarian Pressure: IOM reports more than 20,000 migrant movements from Ethiopia into Djibouti since September 10, with thousands stranded on dangerous routes; more than 3,700 people have also fled Yemen to Djibouti. The growing flows are stretching aid and local services.
