AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Trade Policy Shock: South Korea sacked its chief trade negotiator as US tariff pressure and disputes over Coupang’s data breach intensify. Iran Economic Pressure: US officials and Trump-linked messaging escalated calls for “unprecedented” economic isolation of Iran, while Iran’s president blamed war damage and falling oil sales for worsening prices and shrinking state revenue. Macro Tailwinds vs Costs: US tariff refunds are boosting corporate profits and are projected to add about 0.2 points to GDP growth, even as inflation cools and retail sales fall. Regional Trade Friction: Rwanda’s alcohol ban on Kenyan and Ugandan products is sparking an EAC standards dispute over market access and whether harmonised rules can be overridden. Energy & Growth Plans: Nepal’s energy minister said electricity trade reforms and regulation should move in parallel, while Saint Lucia proposed zero-rating VAT on solar equipment to cut bills. Local Implementation Watch: Jordan’s “Maidani” program found big gaps between cabinet promises and on-the-ground delivery in Jerash. Cost-of-Living Measures: Victoria (Australia) backed a $50-a-week toll cap plan to cut costs for families and small businesses.
