AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoFDI Watch: A new wiiw report says Central, East and Southeast Europe’s FDI rose in 2025 (about €75bn to just over €91bn), but the gains are concentrated in a few places—Russia’s jump is largely sanctions-driven asset restructuring, while Romania’s 45% surge stands out as a more “real” investment story. Telecoms & Connectivity: Ericsson says Western Europe’s 5G take-up should surge from 54% penetration in 2025 to 95% by 2031, as global 5G subscriptions pass 3 billion and carry half of mobile data traffic. Energy Security: MOL Group signed a production sharing deal for offshore exploration in Libya with Repsol and Türkiye Petrolleri, aiming to boost North Africa supply and strengthen Central/Eastern Europe energy security. Climate Risk: A Wageningen University study finds hundreds of sea-level studies underestimated ocean rise; average levels may be 20–30cm higher than previously thought, raising the odds of faster coastal loss. Politics & Democracy Support: Sweden announced a SEK 30m package (2026–2028) to back democratic development and civil society in Eastern Europe. Defence Tech: Metis won a Kongsberg-linked contract to supply passive RF sensors for Poland’s counter-drone programme.
