Happy Monday, wonderful people. We’ve got a slow but steady stream of news trickling in this afternoon as we ease back into post-COP normality.

THE BIG STORY TODAY-

Nafeza rollout to air freight pushed “until economic conditions stabilize:” The rollout of the Advance Customs Information (ACI) customs system to air freight has been pushed for a second time to give importers, customs brokers, shipping agents and overseas companies more time to get used to the system amid volatility in the global economy, the Finance Ministry said in a statement. Use of the ACI for air freight was due to become compulsory on 1 January, having already been pushed back from an original October start date. The ministry will now extend the trial period until local and global conditions are stable, the ministry said.
