AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Digital Census Push: Bhutan’s NSB is preparing for PHCB 2027, set to be the country’s first fully digital census using CAPI devices to improve data quality and speed, with UNFPA support. Entrepreneurship Drive: Bhutan’s National Entrepreneurship Strategy 2026 aims to scale startups beyond survival by tackling regulatory hurdles, inactive licenses, and gaps in finance, skills, and market access. Cross-Border Payments: NPCI has partnered with HSBC India and J.P. Morgan Payments to enable real-time FX settlement for international UPI transactions, improving transparency for Indians paying abroad; UPI is already live in Bhutan and other countries. Tourism Policy Watch: NITI Aayog flags India’s licensing overload and restrictive visas as key brakes on tourism growth, urging visa-on-arrival and faster e-visa systems. Fuel & Aviation Costs: India cut domestic ATF prices by ₹5/litre to about ₹110/litre and revised export levies from July 1 (petrol up, diesel and ATF down), which could ease airline operating costs. Regional Trade Signals: India’s corn exports are set for a three-year high as competitive pricing draws buyers including Bhutan. Climate Capacity: Bhutan graduated its first PhD batch in Climate Studies from CNR, building local research on climate-resilient farming and food systems.
