AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Seychelles Tourism: The 2025-26 cruise season wrapped with a closing ceremony at Port of Victoria, reporting over 40 cruise ship calls—up sharply from just six in 2024-25—plus eight maiden calls and a push toward smaller, premium and expedition vessels. Digital Finance: Bank of Ceylon (Sri Lanka) launched BOC Flex – Tap & Pay, a mobile wallet-based contactless payments solution, adding another step in the region’s shift to app-led banking. Crypto Trading: BYDFi took part in Peru Blockchain Conference 2026 in Lima, while MEXC rolled out its VVIP Futures Loss Coverage Program 2.0 with a 1,000,000 USDT prize pool. Ocean Governance: A Science Advances study warns that drifting fish aggregating devices can interact with and strand in marine protected areas, exposing gaps in how MPAs handle mobile fishing gear. Visa & Mobility (Seychelles angle): Germany’s 2026 visa-free list for 62 countries includes Seychelles, allowing short stays up to 90 days; Spain’s 2026 visa-free list also names Seychelles among eight African nations. Business & Markets: A report on Africa’s consumer market says FMCG growth is shifting toward specific cities with stronger spending power, making one-size expansion strategies less effective.
