AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Ecuador Security & Daily Life: Ecuador’s “new normal” keeps tightening: the country has spent 846 days under a state of emergency, with curfews now disrupting routines again—despite claims of reduced early-morning homicides—leaving residents in high-risk neighborhoods saying the measures haven’t delivered real safety. Politics in the Region: Bolivia’s unrest escalates as road blockades and clashes over land-rights reform (Law 1720) push the economy toward a standstill, while the U.S. signals support for President Rodrigo Paz amid accusations of destabilization. Spain Influence-Peddling Case: Spain’s National Court has opened an investigation into former PM José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero over alleged influence-peddling tied to a €53m Plus Ultra airline bailout that included routes to Ecuador. Business & Trade: Ecuador’s banana exports hit record volumes (111m+ boxes Jan–Apr) but production is down sharply as rainfall and farm management lag; meanwhile, a new push for trade routes to Saudi Arabia and Turkey is underway. Tech & Science: A new map shows AI adoption led by the UAE and Singapore, while researchers trace upland cotton domestication to Mexico’s Yucatán region.
