AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Policy Credibility & Investment: Malaysia’s resilience hinges on institutions that keep working professionally and on policy consistency, with investors focused on predictable rules and respected contracts even amid political change. Public Health Costs: Sri Lanka’s alcohol burden hit Rs 335bn in 2025, far above Rs 254bn in alcohol-tax revenue—an economic hit that policymakers can’t ignore. India Growth Narrative: On Independence Day, PM Modi pushed a “Fragile Five” turnaround story, while SBI Research pointed to resilience signals like 19.3% credit growth and 15.4% deposit growth, plus FCNR(B) inflows. AI Upskilling Push: Modi also announced free online coaching and AI training for 1 crore youth, aiming at cost, quality and skills. UK Jobs Risk Watch: Britain’s services sector contracted fastest since Jan 2023, raising concerns for hiring and consumer spending. Local Economy Execution: Ghana’s 24-hour economy market plans are being redesigned because some assemblies lack land, forcing smaller sites and vertical layouts. Anti-Corruption & Stability: Nigeria’s ICPC chief argued integrity reforms are now tied directly to investment climate and economic stability. Middle East Trade Shock: US plans to keep economic pressure on Iran, with Hormuz disruptions adding uncertainty for energy flows and regional growth. Egypt Reform Progress: The IMF said Egypt met most reform targets despite conflict fallout, including steps to improve state-owned enterprise transparency.
