AGP Executive Report

Last update: 16 minutes ago

Regional Auto Business: Stellantis has placed Benin among 10 African markets to be coordinated from Algiers, expanding the regional role of its Algerian operation. The company announced no new Benin investment or production plans. Innovation: Benin has launched Innobox mobile technology labs in Parakou and Porto-Novo. Cotonou will also host AfriLabs’ annual gathering on Nov. 18–20, bringing more than 1,200 participants from over 70 countries. Growth and Jobs: Benin’s economy grew 8.1% in 2025, but employment at large companies rose only 0.2%, highlighting the challenge of turning growth into jobs. Power outages linked to supply issues from Nigeria are also prompting Benin to explore emergency measures. Regional Finance: A Nigerian proposal for a shared capital-market framework covering 10 West African countries, including Benin, aims to ease cross-border investment and securities issuance.
