AGP Executive Report

Last update: 40 minutes ago

Riga City Politics: Rīga mayor Viesturs Kleinbergs (Progressives) survived an opposition push to oust him, with councillors voting 33 against dismissal and 23 in favor, after accusations tied to the Riga Central Market Meat Pavilion’s long-running structural issues. Tourism & Travel Rules: The EU’s ETIAS “euro-visa” rollout for non-EU Schengen visitors has been delayed, adding more uncertainty for summer plans and airport queues. Air Travel in Latvia: airBaltic reported 509,700 passengers in June 2026 (up 2% year-on-year) and 2.45 million in the first half (record for Jan–Jun), highlighting continued demand for Baltic connectivity. Rail Travel: Latvia’s rail operator Vivi says 10.1 million train passengers used services in the first half of 2026, with the biggest dip on the Tukums line due to repairs. Riga Housing Watch: Riga apartment rents rose only about 5–6% over the past year, while sale prices climbed roughly twice as fast—yet many buyers still prefer owning. Summer Travel Demand: Eurostat data shows July and August drive most tourist overnight stays across the EU, and Latvia sits close to the EU average with about 29% of stays in those peak months.
