Last update: 8 hours agoTrade Corridor: Ethiopia still routed 96.71% of its maritime-gateway cargo through Djibouti in 2025/26, despite efforts to diversify. The concentration reinforces Djibouti’s role as Ethiopia’s key trade outlet, but leaves cargo flows exposed to disruption in the volatile Red Sea. Red Sea Security: China is sending a special envoy to promote de-escalation as tensions threaten shipping and regional trade. Djibouti and China have also urged restraint, warning that instability could raise risks for global trade, energy supplies and food security. Trade Finance: Ghana became the first signatory to the Accra Convention, joined by 25 other countries. The agreement standardizes negotiable cargo documents across road, rail, air and sea transport, aiming to help businesses—especially smaller firms—use goods in transit to secure financing and ease cross-border trade.
