AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Central Banking & Reform: President Salva Kiir swore in Dr. Addis Ababa Othow for a second term as Bank of South Sudan governor, urging urgent reforms to fix liquidity problems, stabilize the economy, and restore public confidence after staff arrears and strikes. Trade & Border Revenue: A ministerial economic reforms committee ordered security agencies on the Juba–Nimule highway to stop intercepting commercial trucks to collect unofficial taxes and fees, and it also ordered the release of over 4,000 trucks unlawfully held at Nesitu checkpoint to decongest the corridor. Legal & Investor Risk: A U.S. court recognized and enforced a $1.02bn Qatar National Bank arbitration award against South Sudan, raising the risk of international enforcement if payment or settlement is not reached. Elections & Public Trust: CEPO says confidence in December 2026 election preparations is falling due to delayed funding for voter education and worsening insecurity. Livelihoods & Women’s Income: In Juba, women were trained to make liquid soap for sale, aiming to boost household income and savings groups. Health & Regional Cooperation: Kenya and 10 other countries are developing a framework to jointly procure emergency medical supplies during outbreaks, including South Sudan.
