AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

ICT Policy Push: Bangladesh’s PM adviser Rehan Asif Asad laid out five ICT/telecom priorities: a five-year tax framework (cut effective telecom tax burden and remove SIM tax), better mobile and broadband, Digital Public Infrastructure (“One Citizen, One ID, One Digital Wallet”), AI-ready talent, and incentives to grow electronics manufacturing. Food Safety & Imports: Bhutan’s BFDA tightened controls on imported Langra mangoes after calcium carbide was found in 12 of 34 samples, requiring testing before release; imports last year topped 1,100 tonnes worth nearly Nu 80M. Tourism at the Border: Bhutan’s 24-hour SDF waiver will expand beyond Rinchending from September, letting approved, guided visitors join packages to Milarepa Lhakhang and the Pachu Community Ecotourism site during the Harvest Festival. Mining & Industry Outlook: Bhutan’s first nationwide airborne geophysical survey flagged promising targets for copper, tungsten and other critical minerals, with the Department of Geology and Mines moving to ground validation. Energy & Water Cooperation: India and Bhutan reviewed trans-border river management and hydropower progress, including Punatsangchhu-I, plus upgrades to hydro-meteorological networks and hydrological data sharing. Crypto Treasury Moves: Bhutan’s Royal Government reportedly sold another 434.87 BTC (about $27.9M), continuing its measured liquidation tied to Gelephu Mindfulness City plans.
