Tobacco Track & Trace Systems Across Africa
The objective of this study is to review the progress some African countries have made in implementing track & trace (T&T) systems, to assess the effectiveness of these systems, and to evaluate their compliance with the Protocol.

The study then evaluates the regional T&T regime implemented across the 27 European Union (EU) countries and considers the potential advantages of a regional approach from an African context. Finally, it makes recommendations for African countries to improve the ITP compliance and the efficacy of their national T&T systems.

Based on a review of the FCTC ITP and solutions currently implemented in Africa and the EU, it is recommended that African nations implement fully digital T&T solutions and adopt a regional approach where possible.

Takaichi’s big win doesn’t affect the fiscal outlook for Japan

The ruling Liberal Democratic Party’s (LDP) landslide election victory on Sunday doesn’t change our expectation of a primary fiscal deficit of 2%-3% of GDP in FY2026-FY2028 – we still see the deficit only starting to decline from FY2029. We also keep our view that the 10-year Japanese government bond (JGB) yield will be at 2.3% at end-2026 and 2.5% at end-2027 and beyond.

In our upcoming February forecast update, we’ll stick to our expectation of a primary fiscal deficit of 2%-3% of GDP in FY2026 and FY2027, but now think it will remain at that level in FY2028, only starting to gradually decline in FY2029 and beyond.
