AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

WTO Accession: Bhutan has resumed World Trade Organisation accession talks after more than 18 years, with a delegation attending the 5th Working Party Meeting in Geneva and citing reforms to modernise laws and strengthen institutions. Energy & Power Trade: The EU launched a €5 million Energy Connectivity in South Asia (ECSA) project in Kathmandu, targeting cross-border electricity trade and cleaner power integration across Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal and Sri Lanka. Solar Buildout: Jamjee’s 120 MW utility-scale solar project in Thimphu is about 50% complete, with access roads, ground piles and grid-connection preparations underway, though imported panel logistics could affect timelines. Agrifood & Climate Risk: El Niño conditions are expected to strengthen and peak in the second half of the year, with warnings for agriculture, hydropower, tourism and water resources in Bhutan. Local Business & Services: Phuentsholing Thrompon candidate Deepen Ghallay’s manifesto focuses on easing cross-border trade bottlenecks, speeding local area plans, and expanding digital municipal services. Public Safety & Housing: Government says there are no plans to rebuild the Amochhu Temporary Shelter in Phuentsholing, citing flood and fire risks and that the structures were never meant to be permanent. Student Support: Royal University of Bhutan has proposed raising monthly college stipends from Nu 2,500 to up to Nu 6,500 to match rising living costs. Drug Control: Bhutan Food and Drug Authority has tightened rules on tapentadol and nitrous oxide after misuse concerns, bringing them under stricter schedules and penalties.
