AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 minutes ago

Middle East Shock: The World Bank says Lebanon’s economy will shrink 6.4% in 2026 as renewed Israel-Hezbollah fighting crushes tourism, consumption, supply chains, and displaces about 1.2 million people; inflation is projected to jump to 17.5%, with reforms in banking restructuring and public finances flagged as key to unlocking recovery funding. Iran Sanctions Escalation: Iran’s foreign minister calls the US “economic D-Day” campaign doomed to fail, as Washington pushes a new phase of economic pressure centered on sanctions and isolation; China rejects the demand to cut ties with Iran, arguing pressure won’t solve the conflict. US Debt & Markets: A top economist warns Treasury’s long-term bond buyback plan could mimic Japan-style yield control and fuel dollar debasement fears, as the national debt tops $40 trillion. Latin America Politics: Bolivia’s president fires the economy minister after a congressional censure over missed questioning, appointing an interim replacement amid a cost-of-living crisis. Local Economy & Jobs: Nashville airport moves the Economy Lot B entrance and adds a new automated pay plaza; Glasgow hires Scotland’s first Night-Time Economy Manager to support the after-dark sector.
