AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Koh‑i‑Noor Repatriation Buzz: New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani said he would “probably encourage” King Charles III to return the Koh‑i‑Noor, reigniting debate over the diamond’s colonial-era transfer and its violent, cross-border origins. Fuel Subsidy Watch: Bhutan’s Royal Audit Authority says fuel price support is overshooting budgets and has become a major fiscal risk, urging an immediate fiscal impact assessment and a fairer, more targeted scheme. Rupee Peg Risk: In the National Assembly, MPs flagged rising currency risk from Bhutan’s non-hydropower external debt as rupee depreciation could lift future repayment burdens. Rural Life Insurance Delay: Government reiterated it’s committed to raising Rural Life Insurance coverage to Nu 150,000, but implementation waits on National Council approval. Third Child Incentive: PM said the Nu 10,000/month programme will roll out by June 2026 amid alarm over falling birth rates. Agrifood Deals: BATIF 2.0 wrapped with MoUs for aquaculture, medicinal herbs, agarwood and feed, including Strout’s premium trout push. Tourism Add-on: Lamperi Recreational Park added a zip line via a public-private partnership.
