AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Healthcare Costs & Taxes: A new Afrobarometer study says nearly three-quarters of Moroccans fear they can’t afford medical care, yet only 48% back higher taxes for universal healthcare—one of the lowest support levels in Africa, with Mauritius even lower at 45%. Crypto Policy: India’s central bank keeps a cautious stance on cryptocurrencies, but continues backing tokenization and digital rupee settlement experiments. Africa Credit Rating Agency: The Africa Credit Rating Agency (AfCRA) officially launches, with Mauritius chosen as its home, aiming for fair, independent ratings tailored to African economies. US Visa Bonds: The US State Department expands a visa bond programme for B1/B2 visas, requiring refundable deposits of $10,000–$20,000 for citizens of 50 countries; India is not on the list. Mauritius in the spotlight: A US senator warns that China-linked pressure has led countries including Mauritius to restrict Taiwanese presidential flights, raising concerns for international aviation rules.
