AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Health: Seven Russian volunteer doctors began São Tomé and Príncipe’s first medical mission with the team on 14 October. Until 27 October, they will provide care and train local staff in gynaecology, surgery and dentistry. Aviation: Portugal selected Lufthansa for a deal to acquire up to 49.9% of TAP Air Portugal. The airline serves São Tomé, and the transaction still needs regulatory approval. Agriculture: Farmers are expanding vanilla cultivation as a higher-value alternative to cocoa, whose price swings and ageing plantations have increased pressure to diversify. Politics: After narrowly winning September’s election, MLSTP/PSD leader Américo Barros says he will seek a minority government, while ruling out a coalition with smaller parties. Investment: São Tomé and Príncipe was among 14 jurisdictions assessed in the 2026 Citizenship by Investment Index.
