AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Colombia Earthquake Response: A 7.4 quake hit western Colombia on Aug. 10, killing at least 224–254 people and leaving thousands injured and missing, with rescues still underway in Cali, Pereira and other hard-hit cities; Colombia has declared a national emergency and is coordinating an international aid push that includes offers from the U.S., Mexico, Ecuador, El Salvador and Peru. Aviation Disruptions: Several Colombian airports suspended or restricted commercial flights while damage assessments continue, affecting routes and capacity across the coffee and Pacific regions. Payments & Fraud Costs: A global analysis says false declines tied to outdated fraud systems are quietly draining interchange revenue—South African banks lose about R2.6m a year on average, with Ecuador included in the study—highlighting a costly blind spot for legitimate card transactions. Cocoa Supply Chain Pressure: With West Africa’s back-to-back poor harvests, Switzerland’s chocolate industry is looking for more resilient sourcing; the market remains volatile even as prices pull back from 2024 highs. UN Leadership Watch: As António Guterres steps down later this year, Latin America’s candidates— including Ecuador’s María Fernanda Espinosa—are in the spotlight for the next UN secretary-general race.
