AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Tax Reform Push: Romania’s PM Vasile Tofan unveiled a fiscal overhaul aimed at cutting labor taxes and boosting levies on banks, tobacco, alcohol and gambling, framing it as a tax-burden reshuffle to curb the shadow economy. Trade Corridors & Investment: Pakistan and Iran discussed expanding investment, barter trade and joint ventures, including a Karachi–Chabahar corridor, with sector talks spanning rice, petrochemicals and steel. Energy & Shipping Costs: U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright signaled another likely extension of the Jones Act waiver as fuel prices stay elevated, a move aimed at easing transport costs ahead of midterms. Monetary Policy Watch: India’s RBI held the repo rate at 5.25% in a neutral stance, citing uncertainty from West Asia, inflation risks and global trade volatility while projecting 6.7% growth for FY27. Digital Government Services: Saudi Arabia’s Tawakkalna App added 40 new services in July via partnerships with dozens of government entities, expanding one-stop access to public services. Local Economic Support: South Africa’s Public Works Minister Dean Macpherson secured zero-cost access for local fishermen and SMMEs to Elands Bay slipway and harbour facilities. Corporate Tax Scrutiny: A UK report says Palantir paid just £2.1m in corporation tax in 2024 despite large government contracts, pointing to transfer-pricing profit shifting.
