AGP Executive Report

Last update: 30 minutes ago

Thimphu Urban Safety & Cost: MoIT clarified that mandatory geotechnical/soil testing under the Thimphu Structure Plan 2023–2047 and City-wide Design Code is meant to manage earthquake-risk subsurface hazards, even for plots that look stable—after NA questions flagged the near Nu 150,000 burden on homeowners. Hydropower Pipeline: The Nyera Amari I and II Integrated Hydropower Project (404 MW) has moved into the DPR phase, but NA MPs pressed for clearer public timelines after repeated delays. Investment & Tax Framework: The NA endorsed Bhutan–Singapore’s Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement, positioning it as key legal groundwork for investment cooperation and the Gelephu Mindfulness City vision. Green Finance: Bhutan will pilot its expanded Green Finance Taxonomy from June to November, then roll it out nationwide in January 2027. Trade Integration: Bhutan has resumed its WTO accession process after 17 years, aiming for deeper global economic integration. Tourism & Local Livelihoods: Chimi Lhakhang-area handicraft shops are expanding with tourism demand, while a Singapore tourist death after feeling unwell on the Tiger’s Nest hike highlights safety and emergency readiness needs. Rural Support: Tarayana’s 20th annual fair ran May 29–31, spotlighting climate-resilient livelihoods and rural microfinance.
