AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

Debt Watch: Bhutan’s public debt has reached 90.6% of GDP, with MPs warning that heavy external borrowing—especially hydropower loans and non-hydropower debt exposed to US dollar/SDR-linked currencies—could raise repayment pressure as exchange rates swing. Cost of Living: The National Assembly endorsed expanded GST exemptions for essential goods, adding more rice varieties, edible oils, hygiene items and disability assistive devices to ease household expenses. Youth & Work: A new story highlights how Bhutanese youth are moving beyond the “government job” path, as youth unemployment remains high. Energy Plan: Bhutan aims to generate 25,000 MW by 2040 (20,000 MW hydropower, 5,000 MW solar), with major projects like Nyera Amari progressing. Education: Bhutan’s first international K–XII school with EtonHouse is set to begin enrolments in August for ages 3–11. Local Infrastructure: Government says it will monitor disruptions from the Phuentshogling bypass as rain-triggered landslides and debris keep blocking roads. Sports: The Women’s National League Tier I race tightens as teams battle for top-six qualification.
