AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Business & Trade: Bhutan’s border hubs Phuentsholing and Samtse are facing 54 regulatory and operational barriers, including licensing delays, GST-related issues, skills shortages and weak trade infrastructure—an update that could directly affect costs and growth for traders. Public Health & Safety: The One Stop Crisis Centre at JDWNRH handled over 700 violence and abuse cases in five months, offering medical, legal and psychosocial support under one roof. Education: 467 schools will benefit from an enhanced feeding and nutrition programme in 2026–27, including upgrades to 20 schools with “Green Kitchens.” Governance: Parliament is set to review a contentious audit provision in the Co-operatives and Farmer Groups Bill, after concerns over expanding auditing authority to dzongkhag internal auditors. Civic Rules: Bhutan tightens its public smoking ban, with BFDA warning of Nu 500 fines for violations in designated public areas. Culture & Faith: Thousands gather at Kuensel Phodrang for the month-long Kathrid Empowerment and Kyilchog Dorji Threngwa led by His Holiness the Je Khenpo. International Spotlight: Bhutan is ranked among the top freshwater-rich countries per person, placing #5 in a global list.
