AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Fuel Cost Pressure: In Bhutan’s National Assembly, MP Damchoe Tenzin pressed the PM over rising fuel spending and asked for tighter use of the EV fleet—pointing to 5,937 government fuel vehicles (327 in Thimphu) and large annual fuel-and-maintenance costs. The PM signalled a shift: more EVs and EV buses, with fuel vehicles pushed into pool use. Health Policy Delay: The Ministry of Health said the National Health Policy 2011 revision is running late because of leadership transitions, with unspent funds carried forward. Pension Reform Stalls: MPs again complained the National Pension and Provident Fund Bill keeps getting deferred; the NA Speaker ordered it tabled in the 2027 Summer Session. Birth-Rate Response: The PM announced Bhutan’s Third Child Incentive Programme will roll out by June 2026, paying Nu 10,000 per month for eligible third (and later) children until age three. Co-op Push: A Raipur workshop reviewed plans for 2 lakh new M-PACS, White Revolution 2.0, and grain storage—aiming to unblock rural bottlenecks.
