AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

US-Iran Standoff: Trump told Axios he’s “low-keying it,” leaning on economic pressure and a naval blockade rather than new strikes, as Iran faces inflation and limited funds; oil stays just above $75. Defense Industrial Strain: A former US defense chief warned the US is running low on missile interceptors and munitions after months of Iran-related conflict, raising questions about how fast industry can replenish stocks. AI & Markets: Moody’s says an “AI-augmented economy” is its most likely scenario, but warns adoption failure could hit stocks and credit markets. Business Climate & Red Tape: In the Philippines, business name registrations rose nearly 9% in seven months, but many firms still report delays in registration and exit processes due to uneven digital systems. Philippines Growth Watch: The economy faces a tougher second half after weak Q2 growth, with economists pointing to faster infrastructure execution as the key swing factor. Middle East Economy: Qatar’s central bank cites strong fiscal reserves and liquid banking as shock absorbers amid regional disruptions. Corporate Moves: HSBC Australia plans to exit retail banking to focus on corporate and institutional deals. Regional Momentum: Bangladesh PMI jumped to 57.8 in July, signaling faster expansion led by manufacturing. Blue Economy: The AU adopted the Luanda Declaration to push Africa’s blue economy with stronger governance and accountability. Local Business Impact: Fisher & Paykel Appliances cut 44 jobs in New Zealand as it shifts customer service toward digital.
